Make Your Next Vacation Your Best Vacation!®

After a bit of a drive from Siem Reap we reach our destination - the AmaWaterways AmaDara.  As noted in the title, this is one of a series of blog posts.  To catch up, read our last two posts from Siem Reap. First on Anchor Wat and next on Khmer Temples.  All posts describe the Riches of the Mekong river cruise from AmaWaterways.

The Mekong River basin is central to understanding the Khmer temples of the ancient Khmer Empire.  This post is the fourth in our series about our AmaWaterways Riches of the Mekong trip.  Yesterday we explored Angkor Wat. We are still in Siem Reap and today we visit several other temples from the ancient Khmer Empire.

In this post, we describe our first full day in Siem Reap - home of the Angkor Wat temple.  See our previous posts from this trip: about Hanoi  and Ha Long Bay

We went to Ha Long Bay on our second full day of our Riches of the Mekong trip.  Catch up on our first day's blog post, Hanoi: orderly Chaos.

This post is all about Hanoi and kicks off our trip report on AmaWaterways Riches of the Mekong trip.

River Cruise comparisons are easier if you know the right questions to ask.  We looked at five categories in our first post.  Here we look at five more important points of comparison.

It's wave season and that means great travel deals are plentiful.  In my last post, I talked about what wave season means and how to make sure you're getting a great deal. There's even a little case study.  This post gives some current examples.
