We headed to Dulles Airport with only carry-on bags. We managed to pack Brad's 90 liter and my 75 liter backpacks with only the essentials. In our other carry-on we each had a quart zip-lock bags overstuffed with all the liquids we figured we'd need (along with a whole bunch of extra bags so we would never be caught out at the airport as we flew city to city). Lots of sunscreen and toothpaste, and 4 bottles of 98% deet bug spray ~ after all, we had been warned about the mosquitoes, prescribed malaria meds, offered Japanese encephalitis shots, and told to watch out for Dengue "break-bone" fever.
We dutifully showed our passports and boarding passes, took out our liquids, took off our shoes, and shoved everything through the scanner. We boarded the plane, took our seats in the Economy Minus cabin of the plane, and were off ~ Dulles to LA to Hong Kong to Ho Chi Min City. It did not take us long to realize we had actually landed in Saigon, as all of the locals still refer to the city. Now the adventure really begins!
