Signed up: Joe H (Chicago, IL) for Laos

Joe might be able to help put some Lao establishments we visit on the Yelp map.  Joe gets out a lot and it is not unusual for him to give  the places he visits  a “Yelp”.   For some of the  places we visit in Laos, that would be more exposure than they have ever had.

Joe’s real expertise  is in health care information systems.

Joe is coming with his Dad, Mike.  Sharing a bike tour with another generation is something that few people have the pleasure of doing.  We are thrilled they are both coming.

It is great that Joe is going to join us.  Joe is no stranger to International travel.  This photo was taken in Europe somewhere.

Signed up: Mike H (Glen Ellyn IL) for Laos

This will be Mike’s first tour.  I know he has been thinking about it.  Mike’s son, Greg, has done the India tour.  And his other son, Joe, plans to join us in Laos.  If there is one thing I know about doing these tours, it is that it is something special to have your kid(s) come with you.  It is a treat for me, too.  Mike’s kids are my nephews.   I’m thrilled.

Mike, in his spare time, likes to gaze at stars.  I hope it is clear in Kiu Kacham.  A clear night in KK can be pretty spectacular…although most people are conked out in bed (it is a big climb).

I think this is Mike at a star-gazing event.

Signed Up: Louise S (Mosman, NSW, Australia) for Laos

Add another Australian participant for Laos.  Louise was referred by Philip B, yet another Australian participant.  Louise brings the total number of Aussies on the 11/11/11 Lao tour to six.  

It's a milestone.  We have had plenty of tours with an international flavor….participants from Canada, the UK, Australia, Italy and Taiwan, but never have we had a tour where American participants are outnumbered by participants from another single country.    

It's great thing,  It brings an added dimension to "Far and Away". 

It's great to have Louise aboard. 

Louise brings the Aussie contingent to six!

To mark the occasion, we are adopting an Australian mascot for this tour.
