Honeymoon Report

Here's the email I sent my parents after we arrived in Phnom Penh. I'll try and update the blog as we go.

Greetings from the future! I'm sure you'll get tired of that joke over the next two weeks. It's currently 3 pm-ish on Tuesday. We're checked into the Jackie Onasis suite at the Raffles Phnom-Penh (free honeymoon upgrade, score!)

It did take us almost 24 hours of travel starting when we left for SFO, but it's been shockingly pleasant so far. We both slept almost 8 hours on the flight over and Cathay Pacific had a great selection of inflight entertainment (the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes lived up to the hype). After 3 hours in Hong Kong we caught our next flight to Phnom-Penh. When we got here we realized we forgot to bring passport photos required for the Cambodian Visa. It ends up they'll scan your passport photo for $2, $8 less than the UPS store would have charged to take that photo, after fearing we'd get sent back to SF, we lucked out big time. 

$7, 20 minute Tuk-tuk ride to the hotel (and we were only on the wrong side of the road for 1/2 mile). It's been great so far, Stef is getting to feel some real humidity, and Pete is reminded how much he enjoys west coast summers, but scenery has been stunning, just completely different from anything I've (Pete) ever seen before.

Will try and update again in a few days, and if I can find an Apple store with iPad accessories, might include some pics! But don't count on that.

Thank you all so much for making this past weekend so special for us. We're both still super stoked about how well everything went! 

Love,

Pete and Stef
