The Great 8

The number 8 is considered lucky particularly in Asian cultures which perhaps makes it particularly auspicious that 8 of us are heading off for a 2 week adventure around Vietnam and Cambodia.

This bunch of reprobates is comprised of Petra, Kieran, Mikey, Jules, Megs, Oren and Rob.  With an average height hovering somewhere around the 6’ mark, a penchant to break into dance and no limit of outgoing personalities, I’m reasonably confident that we will get noticed wherever we go.

The trip has been organised by the amazing Petra.  She has not only concocted an adventure worthy of several boys-own editions, she has managed to do it on a shoestring budget.  Her organisation skills have stretched to organising our visas for us, in fact pretty much the only thing she didn’t do was pack our bags (although she may well have packed Kieran's).  It is a unique experience for me as an adult to just turn up to the airport with everything having been done for me, but I have to say it is a pretty excellent one.

As a result of her efforts we have a fantastic adventure ahead of us.  Already one flight and two Qantas Clubs down and we have proved to be enthusastic at annoying levels, inappropriate to a rarely seen degree and having the ability to have fun, even in an airport.

Stay tuned for updates on our escapades as often as access to the internet will allow.
