Goodbye Vietnam

After almost 10 days traveling through the country of Vietnam, we are about to hop in the car and go to the airport.

4 cities
3 tour guides
1 junk boat
3 bottles of champagne
2 Nam Hai slingers
1 sickness
6 pairs of custom made pants

and a bundle of new friends..... It's time to continue on our journey.

We have had a wonderful time (as you know). The "most honeymoon" type place we were at was by far the last resort in Hoi Ann. Although the junk boat comes in second, sailing down Ha Long Bay. The most thought triggering part of Vietnam has been here in Saigon, meeting the Vietnam War Veteran, going through the tunnels and visiting the War Museum. I have so many more questions, I can't wait to take Blair's Dad out to dinner to learn more. It amazes me how little I paid attention in history class growing up, and how much more I want to know about all the wars we fought in. As well as all parts of American history. The Vietnamese are very proud of their country, how far its come in 40 years. It is quite and accomplishment and I think they are on their way to better things.

It's amazing how fast this time has gone by. The people here have been so friendly and thoughtful. I would suggest visiting Vietnam to anyone who is looking for a not-so run of the mill vacation. Off to Cambodia!

Until next time....

xoxo,

Katie
