Holiday Greetings! Please follow me on Twitter & Facebook for the next three weeks for travel updates for my Asia trip this year.
In mean while, I have been busy this past month with holiday events at Saffron 59 as well as being my own travel agent; planning (numerous) connecting flights, itineraries, meeting with acquaintances and booking my old friends for breakfast on Chao Praya or dinner along the Mekong riverside.
I have not been to Cambodia since 1998. My main plan is to visit the Angkor Hospital for Children to get a private tour from William, the Executive Director. I have been on their committee for over a decade. This hospital started as a small children’s hospital. Today, they have treated over a million patients with a visitor’s center for those who travel from the far away villages. Last time I was in Siem Reap, there were only three hotels to open and some home inns. Since then, there are now spas, French restaurants and trendy boutiques.
