Early rise

Hmmm...up at 6am for no reason again. Haven't been able to break that habit since my birthday. A true sign of age =T I have some time before we need to head out today. We're going to walk to the bakery just down our street to grab some breakfast and then we have a whole day tour of the chu chi tunnels and a temple. Looks like it's going to be an interesting day =) Time to wake up Susan now!

Jetlagged

It's hot in Vietnam. 30 degrees today. Maybe it was a mix of the hot, sunny weather and the jetlag, but I was super tired. We got into the city around noon and settled into our hostel room. Actually a lot more comfortable then I expected. We have AC in our room! The owner of the hostel is really nice too. So we started the afternoon with a vietnamese ice coffee. It was so tasty and so strong. That caffiene lasted only an hour and I was back to the hostel to take a nap. Had my first bowl of real pho bo for dinner.

Hong Kong Airport

It's 6:30am. I'm sitting at the HK airport waiting for my flight to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Have another 2 hours before take off. I feel like I've been flying for a long time now. So tiring. I think the longest I slept from TO to HK was about 3 hours in a row until someone bumped me on the shoulder. I guess that's the disadvantage of sitting in an aisle seat. Anyways, Cathay Pacific didn't disappoint. Great service, food was pretty good and lots of snacks and drinks =) So that's 15hrs of flying done. Only another 2 hours of flying to go! Getting so excited!!
