In four days Lee and I head out for a two week tour of southeast Asia. Specifically, we're going to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. In preparation I've been checking the weather forecasts for our destination spots so we'll know what to pack. Turns out we won't need to pack any layers. On Saturday it's supposed to reach 99 degrees in Ho Chi Minh City, but with the humidity it'll feel like it's well above 100. I think this will make us appreciate the mild late-spring weather here in Kaohsiung. After all, it hasn't gotten much above 85 degrees yet.

I figured I'd need another swimsuit to see me through the trip so Lee and I walked to a nice little shop on Saturday. It turns out that it's really difficult to put on a one-piece bathing suit with a broken arm and rib. The dressing room was no fun, let me tell you! Instead of buying one suit to supplement the one I have, I bought two two-piece suits so I can actually put one on without rebreaking some bone.

Unfortunately, I'll still have my cast on so I won't be doing much swimming. I bought a dry bag to slip onto my arm when we're at the water to keep the cast dry. Hopefully I'll at least be able to cool off. I'm also packing a couple of ace bandages to rewrap the splint if it does get wet. Then the day after we get back I should be getting it off altogether.
