You’re out with your friends hiking in Colorado. It’s a day’s jaunt, up and down through pristine woods and azure lakes with some of the starkest scenery statewide.

Journals have become as much a part of our lives as they were for our counterparts in the 19th century and before. We have facebooks and websites and diet records and even the diary has snuck back into use, electronic or otherwise. But, hold on. What about travel and vacations?

Angkor and its temples is one destination you don't want to miss. Siem Reap, Cambodia, the town and the Province where Angkor Wat is located is only at the beginning of modernization and urbanization, so there are still interesting rural communities around the temples. Neat little markets with wonderful village folks who could really use your business. The Province is really poor...even though it has one of the world's greatest heritage sites!

Some people may just want to see a few temples and relish the experience of imagining life in what may have been the world's largest urban area a thousand years ago! Others may want to see it all.
