36 hours of Bliss
We've completed our journey overseas. Rebecca was dreading it, but it ended up being much better than anticipated. We were able to share 3 seats for all of the flights. We feel as though we're adjusted already, even though we only arrived 5 hours ago. So what are we doing on the computer? Well, we won't be near one again for a few days, so we thought we'd fill you in quick. The longest part of the trip thus far was the 4 hour layover in Taipei at 4am. Ugh. Tinh picked us up at the Hanoi airport. He took us to our hotel and walked us around the Old Quarter for a bit. At the time, we weren't in the mood for a tour, but it ended up being very beneficial. Plus, Trevor found a delicious iced coffee and condensed milk drink. We've had our first Vietnamese meal which was superb and only $6 (including beers). The only problem is that the weather is quite humid and the food doesn't cool you down. Tinh bought us front row tickets to a water puppet show which we'll go to on the 7th. Tomorrow we're off to Halong Bay for a boat cruise. We're planned to have a 12 person boat for the four of us, not too shabby! We'll update you when we get back.

Real Adventures of Cheddar: He went for a long walk yesterday around the neighborhood, and then about an hour or so once he got back I was holding him and he got SUPER exicited and peed a little on me. It's okay though since there is a washer and dryer to clean it all up
You guys seem to be having so much fun and I am shoveling snow. You missed a great article about the Par 3, me and our opponent Bob Boneen in the Sunday St. Paul paper.
Keep writing and having a great time.

Who's Tinh? We miss you! We're going out to Famous Daves tonight to celebrate Phil's B-day...we'll miss you! Keep having fun and keep the posts coming!
Jen - Thanks so much for the REAL Cheddar update. Give him lots of belly rubs for us! Sorry about the pee.
Erin - the coffee is splendid, and I don't even like coffee. Luckily it's easy to make so we'll be doing that when we get home.
Dad - That's so cool you made the paper! Can't wait to read it when we get back.
Tina - Tinh was our guide through Vietnam. He set up our hotel, transfers and the boat cruise. He helped Michael and Wendy when they were in Vietnam too, which is how we knew him.
