Packed and ready to go

Packed my bag today. Three shirts, one pair of shorts, one bathing suit, one light jacket, Chacos, a rain jacket, toiletries, pillow, towel, socks, guide books(Trailblazer SE Asia & Let's Go SE Asia), toilet paper... 25 pounds in all. I've done my best to pack light, however, it's tough to pack for a trip spanning several climates and without set destinations or an end date.


I've made reservations for myself for at Phoenix 74, a hotel in the so called "back packer district" of HCMC. The lowest rate single rooms were all booked so I reserved a "Type 3" single. At $12/night it's more than I'm planning on spending in the future for a bed (I hope to stick to $2-$5/night range) but I was able to make online reservations and it includes airport pickup, laundry service, 24hr room service, breakfast, hot showers, and free internet. Not too bad for $12!
