Greetings from Cambodia!

Just a sneak preview...

We're about 75% through an amazing trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. You'll have to wait till my next newsletter in February to see the incredible shots from this morning at Angkor Wat, along with some other breathtaking ancient temples in this area. Then we'll be back in Vietnam for a few days and I can't wait to see the natural splendor of Ha Long Bay.

Here are just some highlights just from the past couple of days in Cambodia. The people to people experiences have been so warm and, of course, the Mekong cruise on the AmaDara was spectacular, as have been all my other AmaWaterways trips.

Above is our oxcart ride (aka Cambodian limousine). Below are a well-to-do village cattleman in Angkor Ban, a tuktuk ride in Phnom Penh, our guide Somnang talking with a Pol Pot S-21 detention survivor, and a peanut farmer in Angkor Ban.

Last chance to chime in on 2025 and early 2026!

I've had the opportunity to chat with the dozen clients who are with me here in Asia, and I can see some trends developing in terms of future destinations. In addition, they have also provided additional suggestions for other destinations that they would like me to consider for Small Group Trips.

If you don't see your dream destination on this year's list, let me know what it is. In the last survey question, I welcome your recommendations for future SGTs. If I see a lot of people listing the same idea, that bodes well for the people who have suggested it. I watch for trends among my clients and try to act on them.

Help me take you where you want to go! The survey closes TOMORROW, January 31st, so take the opportunity now to chime in via the button below. 

Bye for now!

Consider Our afternoon tour to Banteay Seri Temple (part of this massive UNESCO site in and around Siem Reap, and known as the Citadel of Women) starts in fifteen minutes so I'll sign off now.

More to come next month...à la prochaine!
