Happy Earth Day!

Spring is in the air and the birds are chirping outside our office. It's the first day of the year we can open the patio door and enjoy the fresh air. The sun is so bright we don't even need the lights on in the office. What a great time of year!

Trish Sare, the Director of BikeHike, has left for a 2-week adventure in Vietnam. She is hoping to be able to access e-mail a few times during the trip so she can blog about her experiences on our 12-day Paddle and Play Adventure. I can't wait to hear her stories. Vietnam is one of my absolute favourite countries. I travelled there in 2001 so I am curious to hear the changes it has gone through in the past 6 years. Hanoi is a vibrant, chaotic city, but incredible at the same time. I remember my friend and I sitting in our hotel leaning over a map of the city, trying to figure out the best way to get from our hotel to dinner with crossing as little roads as possible. It was a challenge to cross the street but after a few days in the city we had mastered the art. We realized the drivers are skilled in knowing how to go around pedestrians and wouldn't harm us. But hey, that's all part of the adventure.

Bye for now,
