Monday March 1st 2010, Nancy here.

Its 10 oclock in the morning and 27 degrees and hazy. Exactly one week from today Maeve and Nina will be at school, I will be at work, and Brian will be unpacking, or maybe shovelling snow.
It is hard to believe that while I gaze out at the ocean in Vung Tau.

We left Cambodia on Saturday am and flew to Ho Chi Minh City. The flight was a short and bumpy one hour. We arrived in the crazy, crowded, and noisy HCMC, quite a change from the relative quiet of Siem Reap but still a lovely 35 degrees! We went to our favourite guesthouse there, the Red Sun, and stayed for one night. We had to stop at the market to buy another duffel bag!!! to store our ever increasing "stuff' . I think Deb will need to rent a cube van to come and get us!!!!!

We took the Soviet diesel express of a hydrofoil , we are veteran hydrofoil riders now, and zipped to Vung Tau in just 1 hour. We are spending a few days here to visit the orphanage, the babies, and our friends here , before heading back to HCMC and home.

Craig and Kelly from Vancouver are also in Vietnam and will fly to HCMC to rendevous with us before we leave ! Hurray!

The girls and Brian are in the pool, and I am packing up the suitcases to switch rooms. We are off to the orphanage this afternoon !

Talk to you soon
