BRUCE JOHNSON, USA, THE LAOS MEKONG, DEC 2019
Jill and I have recently completed our after-trip comments for Pandaw and I also did one on Trip Advisor. Our December-January upper Mekong cruise was bliss, from the Pandaw assisted stay in Vientiane to the assisted stay in Chaing Mai at the Superb Rachamankha Hotel and the wonderful assistance at Chiang Mai's airport by the young lady from Discovery part of your after cruise package. This was an outstanding trip and we enjoyed the longtail boat segment as well; all part of the adventure spirit of Pandaw!
Most enjoyed talking to you on the long boat out of Vientiane and wanted to chat a bit more when we met up with you at the Opium Museum up at the Golden Triangle but you were captured by the incessantly whining Daphne and I didn't see a way to extricate you. Nothing made her happy. Anyways, you had a great crew, Say, Vong, Solera, Yut, and all the others and everyone with a smile ready all the time.
Jill and I are in the beginnings of our next Pandaw which will be the Irrawaddy but we haven't nailed-down dates or the specific trip yet. It will take some thinking because there appear to be so many variations between Rangoon, Mandalay, Pagan and then even a short one around the Irrawaddy delta. Much to think about so we'll be in touch.
Thanks for all your help, Stuart, and a pleasure meeting you.
