I finally got my act together and uploaded photos from the my Asian getaway to the Philippines and Vietnam late last year.  As you'd expect, it was another great adventure!  The first leg was making my way to the remote island of Siquijor for some mountain biking and snorkeling.  There I met by far the friendliest locals on the trip, and also some really nice travelers that I got to know rather well because we were all stranded on the island due to a nearby typhoon that stopped all of the ferry services.  Eventually, after some typhoon-related flight changes, I made it to the El Nido resort in Palawan for Kim and Tara's wedding wich was set in one of the most picturesque possible locales.  Then, off to the southern parts of Vietnam where the highlight was probably exploring the Mekong River Delta.  While this included the expected touristy boat rides through backwaters and floating markets, I also had a chance to get out into the middle of nowhere on bike rides and sunrise runs.  I definitely want to return to the area soon to check out Cambodia and North Vietnam.

Pictures are here, and I also whipped up a video of the highlights:
