Planning. Prepping. More Planning....Repeat!

The white board says it all: we have a lot of material to cover and tight deadlines to meet! It's crunch time for the CBT team as the hour of departure nears (merely 2.5 days!). Material is being developed as we speak to cover the project outcomes for this trip. On our training wish list are items like:

• Business/Tourism Association consolidation in Ta Phin
• Planning sessions with local government in Lao Chai
• Stakeholders workshops
• Product development in Ta Phin
• Environmental stewardship for Lao Chai youth
• And more!

Logistical planning for the trip is near completion. The students and faculty from Capilano University have been prepped, and are working with Hanoi Open University student and faculty to get all the details in place. Departure is so close I can practically smell the luke warm airline food. Now to get all my homework done!

Looking forward to hearing from CBT blog readers out there, share some of your Vietnam experiences or tell us about you favorite Vietnamese dish! We will need suggestions for our first night in Hanoi. Hit us up on Twitter @CBTvietnam or find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/cbtvietnam
