Travels to Hanoi

From the time we left the Marin Airporter to the time we arrived at our hotel we traveled a total of 24 hours. As much as Billy and I were concerned we would be bored or hungry, we were neither in the end. Korean Air had a wonderful choice of movies, music, documentaries, and even great food. Our flight left at 12noon so we spent the first 8 hours awake, and tried to sleep the last four.


Once we changed planes in Seoul and arrived in Hanoi we paid $30 to take a private taxi to the hotel, which was well worth the money. We arrived at 11:45 pm just before they closed and we crashed into bed. The hotel was one Helah and Rachel had stayed out and it is in the Old Quarter of the city. The beds are a bit hard but the room is clean, there is hot water, and it feels safe.


I will try to upload as many photos as possible during our blog posts but we are finding that uploading can be slow to picasa but we will do the best we can. Just remember to double click on the photos to see larger captions. We also have the camera set at the highest resolution so each photo is 3MB, which is complicating matters. We will get it right soon enough so just hang with us.
