The Blog: Expedition to Vietnam

I invite you to join me as virtual members of a scientific expedition to Vietnam! I have been awarded a fellowship from the Earthwatch Institute to study butterflies in the tropical forests of Northern Vietnam. Check out the Butterflies of Vietnam Expedition website to find out more!

During the week of May 14-18, I will be in the Tam Dao National Park in Vietnam capturing, documenting, and studying butterflies. I will hold two live classes via a satelite phone. In addition, you will be able to follow my progress and ask me questions on a daily basis using the blog below.

The blog on this website has been created in order to allow Mr. Bucs' students, friends, and community to share in his experience in Vietnam. Please focus your comments and questions on the expedition.

Bon Voyage!


On Thursday afternoon I will begin the first leg of a 30 hour trip to Hanoi, Vietnam. I will be flying Singapore Airlines. Singapore Airlines has a reputation of being a very comfortable and well-run airline. I look forward to tastey meals, frequent snacks and beverages, and first-run movies. Also, I anticipate catching up on my reading.

Below is my itinerary. I wrote it in Eastern Standard Time so you could follow my flight more easily.
