Tales of the Adventure

Vietnam and I are having a little love affair.....srsly.  The air is rich with the smell of people, smoke and food.  Everyone is quick to smile and proud of their heritage.  These posts will be quick and more in line of helping me recall than to weave a story for you....I apologize in advance there is just too much to see and do.  It is not because the country does warrant a lovely story....a very lovely one.

Day .05-1

entrance to ladies room in Korea.

Soooo I purposely did not calculate how long we would be in the air mostly because I knew it would be worth it and also because I am bad at math...so after over 18 hours in the air (and 6 whole movies watched) we made it!  B & I really lucked out because we got a 4 seat row to ourselves!  Still painful but liveable.  We had a lay over in Seoul and my brief one hour there already has me in love!  They had actually bathroom toilets that were high-tech and little stalls with super short and little toilets for small children!  There is nothing I don't like more then a miniature toilet...soo cute!  Once we arrived we got our bags, our driver was waiting (always a good sign!) and off we were.  B & I were totally grimy and grumpy so we were ready to go to bed! Though as we were leaving the airport for some reason the police did not like our driver and started pounding our car and slightly rough housing him (and some other drivers close by).  They made him get out and find his paperwork in the trunk.  We were pretty freaked mostly because it is dark, we can't understand a word and then they have us pull forward and into a pretty dark area.  We waited for like 15 minutes and they corralled the drivers up and after what seemed like nothing else they were able to leave.  I am pretty sure some "taxes" were collected  but Brent and I were just glad to go and our driver said "fine, fine".  Got our adrenaline pumping for sure!  We finally arrived to our hotel a little on edge but ready for bed!  The room is fine yet the bed is as stiff as a board.  We are still here as we just haven't had time to actually move but let me tell you I am ready for a massage or two!! Shows me that we aren't young any more.
