A couple of angels I had the opportunity to spend a few days in Phu Quoc with some of my friends from Saigon. I had not yet been there and some commenter’s from the Trip Advisor website had me thinking that it was a beach destination not to be missed. I have had some time [...]

  Which one is not like the others? In the past, a person came up with the idea to make a few dollars by taking visitors for Dalat city tours on the back of his motorcycle. He referred to himself or was called an Easy Rider. I do not profess to have a clue of [...]

Kathy and her lovely kids……. oh… and us too This blog was going to be about highland tours by those that call themselves Easy Riders, but a late night email put that story on the back burner. Today I want to talk about two of the wonderful people who have enhanced my life since I [...]

Following are photographs of all the busses  departing to different locations. If you cannot find it here, it most likely is not available.                     There are a number of other carriers that go to the same places, and a local bus that runs hourly from Nha Trang [...]
