Room #9 please

No, that is not our room number but the number of rooms we have now "lived" in since arriving in Vietnam about a month ago! Today we moved to a different, less expensive hotel. The best part of it - it is a MUCH better place! Woo hoo for good karma! We are talking sweet digs - it even has a window! A few things this has vs our last home....a treadmill in the REAL workout center, a crib, an in-room safe that is bolted down, and shelves! Truly all things I never thought would be so important but now make me oh so happy. Now, if they only had a highchair for breakfast (they don't, but a girl can dream!).

Most of today was taken up with moving - how that can be so difficult I have no idea! Trey still isn't doing too well. Has a fever and hasn't puked but only because he hasn't really eaten except for the pizza crust at tonight's party (is that wrong to give a baby with the flu pizza? Sue me, I am a rookie here!). Tonight we had a big pizza party at the "old home". It was so much fun. All 6 families were there - pizza, wine, beer and juice boxes. Every base was covered. Friends of our agency contact's came over - a very cool couple who lives in Saigon but is here for a wedding. They grew up in California but recently moved back and they both used to live in Hanoi. They had a ton of ideas on where to eat, shop, tour...it was wonderful talking with them.

That is it for now. Sorry about no pictures - but we are doing some cool touring tomorrow and Monday so here's hoping for some good shots!

Rumor has it that it may rain in MN this weekend. Is this the same state that has posted crazy cold and snow since we left? Why am I in such a hurry to get back?

Bye for now!

Cindy, I'm sooo glad you moved and have a nicer place - especially for the crib! Is it the one that Barbie is in? Are all of the families still together or close by?

Hope Trey is back to his old self soon, and your I600 is there next week and not in two. KT
