The flight from Hanoi was a bit bumpy and we faced some mystery meat in the snack service, but otherwise it was good. The boys were a bit iffy - mostly seeking ngative attention behaviors. We made it to the hotel around 5pm, and after some confusion, we picked up our phone and made it to or rooms - adjoining. Pretty gorgeous! We asked for a couple of chairs to be removed to make the access between the rooms safer. After unpacking we had some very yummy dinner - but the boys were nearly GONE! Medko misunderstood something about pizza and ultimately put his head down and Tam fell asleep on Donna in a VERY noisy restaurant. All in all, they were tough given the amount of change they are facing and the amount of travel.
We met Hang (aka Katty) in Hanoi for a post breakfast chat. She and Tam were super duper cute walking down the street holding hands - picture(s) to come. Really nice to see her and catch up.
Some serious confusion on internet access (for now) - hotel charges a mere $80 for a week for wifi in the room. We paid it last night, but it now appears that maybe we didn't have to... we'll see. Planning for a day of exploring the hotel and surrounds - a big park across the street and the pool plus a kiddy play area a couple floors down have promise. And finding a real life 7 Eleven in our hotel complex - think Vegas style hotel system - just not quite as big. Bottled water is apparently a biger money maker here than in the US. $12 for an Evian, $15 for a 800ml Voss.
We are looking at what might be state controlled weather - 91 high, 79 low, 60% chance of rain everyday for the next 7. Not really of course - just odd.
