Road Trip

We try to make some sort of road trip every year, and this time around it will be to the capital city of Phnom Penh. There are several organizations and NGOs there that may be helpful to us, and it's a big town with lots to do. A mix of business and pleasure!

Normally, we would drive. It's about 4 hours because the road is very good, but we don't have a lot of time this year. We opted to look at flying. Cambodia has a domestic airline run in partnership with Vietnam airlines, and they're running some specials. It's a bit more expensive than driving, but it saves time, gas, and it's an experience all by itself.

Plus, we're taking our drivers Mony and Prem. They've never flown.

Our departure is around 11:15 tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to introducing them to airline travel. I suspect that the flight will be nicer and more luxurious than a standard domestic flight in the US.

I'd like you to re-read that last statement. Let it sink in for a moment.
