well, we made it just fine. actually it was no problem what so ever. what seemed like a long trip turned into a very short one with snoozing, watching t.v. on our personal computers, eating, a little and some reading. you know, the normal stuff you do on an 18 hour flight.
my very first impression of vietnam is - mexico with a different language.
what have we done so far? ho chi minh city (saigon to the people who live here) and i mean a city of motorbikes, the mekong delta area - a little touristy but fun, nha trang-beautiful beaches, pagodas, mud baths(a highlight of ours) and good food, danang - actually we spent our time at "marble mountain", china beach and hoi an and then back here for dinner at this rather unusual restaurant near the hotel.
since we have to get going to catch a bus to hue, this morning, i will write more about each of the stops when we get there.
this has been a BLAST! - do people actually use that terminology any more? traveling with angie is really fun and it makes it easier that we like the same kinds of things.
so far the best part of the trip has been hoi an and the beaches between here(danang) and there. the beaches here are amazing - white sand and really unoccupied. HUGE resorts are being built on the beach just north of here and almost all the way to hoi an. this is going to be like cancun - ugh!!!!!!!!!
i will write the details and send photos later today when we get to hue
have a wonderful day and do think about coming here.
