Return to Vietnam

This is the 4th time--every 2-3 years since 2005. No more "home sick" for G as every winter in Canada he always said: "I am home sick, let go back to VN".

Ready to cross?

We arrived in VN on Mon evening. What a switch from Chennai to Ho Chi Minh City! Of course, with business class flights, our luggages came out first, custom and immigration check was a breeze, the airport was clean and peaceful. It's paid to travel with someone who could speak the language, or better yet marry to one ;) No more culture shock, got to our usual hotel with a pleasant taxi drive, had quick shower then we were on the street to Ben Thanh night market for "real" dinner.

Finally we both felt like our vacation had just begun! In the last few days we rested, walked, ate whenever we felt like it, had no definite plan or place to go. I am sure our bodies thank us for our choices. 

As we returned to our "comfort zone", for some new friends who may see or read less interesting stuff for a while, because we would not snap pictures constantly like new tourists. G already felt like to adventure again, but we were taking time to plan our next legs--we have a whole month. For sure, one of the plans will be the visit to my grandparents' graves in Tra Vinh. That will be interesting, for me at least. 

Stay tuned...
