Tour Boat Veterans for Truth

In September of 2004, Miranda and I took a very, very belated 10th Anniversary Vacation to Vietnam. Being the very model of a modern major geek, I wrote up the experience more or less as I went along, using this newfangled "blog" technology.

I also took pictures. A lot of pictures. Over a thousand of the damn things, in fact.

Here then, we collect in one convenient location (because WordPress doesn't make this kinda thing easy) all of my dispatches from Vietnam. If you like this sort of thing, enjoy.
