Past Trips
Southeast Asia 2001
Our first trip to Asia was from August to November, 2001. Neither of us had ever been to Asia in our previous travels but it always seemed like one of those far off places we thought we’d eventually get to one day. Tamar was already enrolled in the Department of East Asian Studies at Tel Aviv University for the coming fall season so she thought it would be a pretty good time to actually check out some of Asia first hand. Kevin, who dreamed of returning to Vietnam where he was born 27 years earlier, felt that the time had come for yet another adventure after living nearly 2 years in his new home, Tel Aviv, Israel. After a few months of saving up and a lot of planning and anticipation, the population of Asia was about to increase by two, at least for a couple of months.
Vietnam was chosen as the logical place to start this first trip. At that time there were no direct flights from Israel to Vietnam but the Tel Aviv - Bangkok route was already operating at full bandwidth. We flew SAS Scandinavian Airlines with a stopover in Copenhagen which was a chilly but pleasant detour on the way to Bangkok.
