So we're here in Ho Chi Minh City. Have been for just over a day now. It took roughly twenty hours to travel from our house in Olympia to the hotel in HCMC. The time diference is fourteen hours ahead so it's two in the afternoon in the states and four in the morning here. My sleep schedule is also on vacation at this point.
We're giving ourselves two days in HCMC to get adjusted (oriented?) before we head down to the Mekong Delta. But so far so good. All flights on time and the hotel is nice. Right in the heart of Pham Ngu Lao which is the cheaper back-packer area. But still very nice. For as many people that reside here there is really very little trash. The air quality is a whole other story. Believe me when I say you can feel more in the air than the heat.
So nothing much has happened yet for me to write about. Just a few meals, some conversation, and to-die-for napping. But Heather is also running her own blog and she'll be uploading alot of the photos we'll be taking. You can link to it on the left side of this page along with two blogs from my friend Sunday whom any day now should be landing in New Zealand. GalacticMu is dedicated to the world of sci-fi and Anger Burger concerns itself with food. Both of which should be checked out by anyone who has an appreciation for good writing.

Hey Andrew, it's good to hear from you. Why don't you drop a line to my email and tell me what's new. And yeah, much cleaner than India. I'm not spending any time dodging multiple species feces while walking down the street.
