Well I made it after about 20 hours of traveling. I left My house around 645P on Thursday night as I finished packing by flashlight. Scripps ranch had a power outage no electricity so was glad to leave. I flew to LAX, then to Hong Kong which took about 15 hours on Cathay Pacific then dragon air to Hanoi. Got a little sleep, read, ate and watched movies. Finally arrived in Vietnam at 915A on Saturday. We skipped Friday and that means I am now 14hrs ahead of you.
I had to pay $50 and get my visa (2entries).
I was met and then taken to this awesome hotel
The Metropole. This is an award winning French colonial style hotel right in the middle of Hanoi-- a wonderful location. They have both the historical wing (which we stayed in) and also a modern wing. Also they have 3 wonderful restaurants and excellent service-- first class all the way!!!
My Welcome Drink as I was waiting for my room!
Cheers
Joan
