Vietnam - Mui Ne
It used to be that we would check into a nice hotel only when we were in the throes of collapse or divorce due to travel fatigue. Well, no more. With less than three weeks left on the trip, we checked into a resort hotel in the beach town of Mui Ne because we have a credit card.Vietnam is a good deal - this ocean view beach bungalow was a third of what it would have cost in the US:
I know it makes a much better blog if we trek through the jungle and almost die from dengue fever, but the only story I have is how we declined the turndown service. Boo.

i keep on forgetting that despite the tourism and # of foreigners, Vietnam is still a socialist/communist country. hence the block (perhaps)..

I'm so sad about all this talk that the trip is almost over. I don't know what I'm going to do with myself at work once this blog comes to an end.
Kathy - Thanks...Can't wait to meet Caroline!
Woni - We are in Hanoi and blogspot works here. Perhaps we (and whole bunch of other people online who wrote about it) were too quick to jump to conclusions...
Brooklyn - Read advice column by Caroline Hax on washingtonpost.com. Column goes back to 1998.
