Friday : sunny Well we left HCMC today. We checked out after breakfast, and started our walk to to bus stop IN THE WRONG BLOODY DIRECTION !!!!!!!! What a douche I was. We turned around after realizing something was up, and made the bus with 5min to spare. The seats we pretty good but not enough leg room at all. The bloke in front of me had his seat reclined so far back I could rest my head on the back of his chair. Alone the way we crossed quite a few big rive...

While mum and dad yawned their way to the airport, with me behind the wheel.

Kim and her folks arrived the same tim...
