Leaving Hanoi

This morning we fly to Muscat, Oman. After 7 hours on the plane, we have a boat ride scheduled in the Gulf of Oman. I'm looking forward to it. So far I've managed to get a FourSquare check-in from every country we've visited. A digital trail of check-in crumbs has replaced a collection of trinkets. The value of both approximate zero but check-ins take up less space. We've been to some amazing places and so far, my favorite experiences have been the geological sites and the food markets. ​

The traffic here is amazing and I have a couple of short videos that illustrates a semblance of order arising from the chaos of a world without traffic signals.​ Unfortunately, they're on my iPhone, and I've packed the connection cable in my suitcase. There is no Wi-Fi on the plane *gasp* and we've had some bad luck at our hotels (situational failures as opposed to systemic ones) but I'll have more time to make the Internet better when I get home.
