Last post from Vietnam!

Well my trip is coming to an end (kind of). Today is my last day in Vietnam. I'm actually headed to the airport in 10 minutes so I will have to make this short. I spent my last day in Hanoi running around town buying last minute gifts and taking pictures. Had a good time as I hung out with my new American friend from Maine. Later today I will be flying back to Saigon where I will have a 5 hour layover. I'm thinking I might end up taking a taxi into town to have dinner. 5 hours is just way to long to spend in an airport like the one in Saigon - it's pretty pathetic! After that I fly back to Seoul, South Korea where I have a 12 hour layover. At first I wasn't too happy about the length of the layover but then I realized - hey I'll have a good 8 hours to explore the city! So that's should be fun! And then, of course, I'll be flying back to Seattle. This has been a FANTASTIC trip but I'm looking forward to going home.

Looking forward to seeing Lucy (my pup) and Andrew (and yes - you too MOM!), my comfy bed, and breathing fresh air!!!! Hope someone out there enjoyed reading about my time in Vietnam. I highly recommend this trip to anyone out there with an adventurous spirit. The country is beautiful and the people are incredibly friendly.
