Ho Chi Minh City....

It will always be Saigon to this history teacher, but that's another story. Well, we made it! After the longest trip of our lives (28 hours from when we took off in OKC, until we arrived in HCMC)! Thirteen hours from Houston to Tokyo, and six hours from Tokyo to HCMC. I am so thankful I don't have a job that requires international travel. That flight to Tokyo, while very smooth, was killer. I can't sleep on a plane, plus I have an extremely stiff neck right now. I was so glad to finally get here. Customs was a breeze. Passport control took maybe 5 minutes. We picked up our bags, they ran them through the xray machine, and we were done. A member of the Holt Vietnam staff was waiting for us. We took a van to the hotel, and here we are. The hotel is awesome! We are at the Somerset HCMC. It is probably the cleanest hotel I have ever seen. The people just fall all over themselves to be friendly and take care of you. It is like a resort. We are going to work out this morning and hang out at the pool. Tonight we are having dinner with two other couples at the Rex Hotel rooftop restaraunt. The view is supposed to be unbelievable. Okay, next report will be with our darling Emma. When you wake up Monday morning, we should have lots of pics and the whole story! Until then.....
