Happy Day!

This afternoon we went to the embassy to pay for the visa, but we can not pick it up until Monday late afternoon, so we're looking at leaving Tuesday and arriving home Wednesday. Just in time for turkey. We're still looking at flight options, and cannot offically change our flight until we have the visa in hand, so that will have to wait until Monday. Airline travel within the states might be a bit of a challenge because of the holiday.

Our mood has totally changed, as you can imagine. Somehow a couple of more days in Vietnam doesn't sound so bad. The end is in sight. We had a celebration dinner tonight with the other 2 families, at our favorite restaurant, Al Fresco's. I'm sure we'll be there again before we leave Vietnam.

Tomorrow (Saturday) we are taking a trip with the other 2 families in our group to Ha Long Bay. It is about a 3 hour drive there, so it is a full day. Once there we will have a private boat tour of about 4 hours. The Bay is known for naturally formed rock formations and caves coming out of the water. We'll take lots of pictures.
