A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Ohio

Well, par for the course, things did not go smoothly in Hanoi. Our plane was 1/2 hour late arriving so we rushed to the embassy. When we got there, they had no record of our appointment. Turns out Mr. Hiep only requested one. The embassy is very backed up so was unable to confirm our appointment. The soonest they can see us is Monday at 1:30 pm. This means a visa at 11 am on Tuesday and a flight out of Hanoi at 7 pm on Tuesday. After a lot of hard work by mommy and Todd Gallineck (PAPs, if you don't use him for travel, you are CRAZY), we can now fly into Columbus via Dallas on Wednesday at 6 pm.

We were sad to say goodbye to everyone at the Thien Xuan. We are staying in a much nicer hotel in Hanoi. The room is bigger and the floors are carpeted. The breakfast included cereal and pancakes. The weather is also much cooler. The highs are in the 80s and the lows in the 60s.

I think that's Portugese above. Anyway, it looks like an ad--get rid of it.
