Holiday Wishes to You!

We are taking off again in a few days to visit Cambodia and Vietnam. We'll be spending 4 days in Siem Reap, touring around the temples at Angkor Wat and then we fly to Hanoi, where we'll spend a few days and finally experience a fabulous junket cruise on Halong Bay... so excited!

I also wanted to share another great discovery!

I mentioned before that I love the "Song of the Day" online radio program on NPR. Well, I recently started listening to another fascinating show called "This American Life." Do any of you also listen to this program?

Each week's show covers a new relevant theme, and usually there are 3-4 interesting manifestations loosely related to it. I have learned so much about lots of contemporary issues and it's entertaining...


So, I suppose this introduction to the show is sort of like my Xmas gift to all of you. Hope you enjoy listening to it. Be sure to listen to check out a few others in the archives.

LOVE This American Life! We started listening to it out in the Imperial Valley in California...NPR is one of the few English radio stations out there. I miss it so much. I get This American Life as a weekly podcast here (our last trip to the States I boarded the plane equipped with 50 hours of it on my iPod)...but another one of my favorite NPR shows "A Way With Words" I haven't found as a full podcast. We used to listen to it as a family on Sundays.

Hope you have a wonderful trip! Merry Christmas!

This American Life is an NPR classic much loved by my husband. I don't get as many chances to listen since I'm not making long car commutes but its always enlightening when I do get the chance.Happy holidays to you and Sean, have a wonderful trip!

Kev and I spent the Thanksgiving break in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. I haven't had a chance to post pics yet. But we stayed in Siem Reap and went on a cruise on Halong Bay in Vietnam. Enjoy.
