Our flight from Indonesia had a nine-hour overnight layover in Kuala Lumpur. Being awake for about 30 hours really took a toll on this old woman. Kenric was fine because he’s 3.5 months younger than I am, so he went out to explore on his own. On our fourth evening in Vientiane, Laos, I finally walked to the Mekong River and waved at Thailand on the other side. After dinner, we checked out the night market which was quite busy; maybe because the Lao New Year, known as Pi Mai or Songkran, is this Saturday (April 14th). We like Vientiane even though we have not seen much of it yet.
