The saga continues. Sweet Thing is as excited about this trip as I am. There is so much to see in Vietnam, most of which I could not even think of when last there ... mid-June until mid-July 2010. When I was last there the mercury crept well up into the 40's and it was very humid. Now it runs in the late teens to early twenties ... perfect ST weather. She is pleased about only having to pack summer clothes. She found the carrying of multi-season clothing to Europe for 4 weeks was a nuisance.

Flights booked

That feat is nice to have accomplished. We booked through TD Travel Rewards and they found us everything except Hanoi to Shanghai on Star Alliance. Some of the connections are tight so I hope we do not experience something similar to Brussels Airlines' trick when I went to Portugal. I had 1h40m to get my flight to Lisbon and they left Entebbe an hour late. I made the connection but my bags did not.

We are using ANA (Nippon Airways) from Tokyo to Ho Chi Minh City. We are meeting with an agent in town net week to plan the balance of our pre-work time up to and including Tuesday November 9. Junie will give us some advice about a weekend in Halong Bay November 5-7. There seem to be many hotels to choose from as well as some cruising one can do while staying on the bateau. It should be interesting to see what's out there for us.
