Have just enjoyed spending a pleasant Sunday afternoon touring Hanoi. What an experience!! Where were you when I had to sit in all those boring classes in high school learning bits and pieces of all these places you have been to. I am so happy for you and your adventures. Green as hell, but happy!
You take care, enjoy, I'm still enjoying my Christmas presents from you and getting lots of compliments whenever I wear them. Gotta go and check on Grandma now and hear about todays Movements. I'll tell her about your pix and stories!
Lots of Love,You Go Girl! Aunt Sue

Sarah --I'm really enjoying your travel blog. There is a certain amount of amusement here inasmuch the $10 you forfeited would have covered most of the rate hike.
You will make millions when you write your book of aphorisms. "When traveling, if you fear the proprietor of your hotel may fillet you whilst you sleep over $2, change hotels."
