in one week, i will be heading back to the motherland. it's been ten years since i've set foot on the soils of vietnam, and i'm quite excited to see all the changes and renovations. i'll be there for 16 days and i hope i get to enjoy all the delicious foods without the worrying too much about how sanitary the process of preparation was.. or if it will upset my stomach. i'll make sure to bring along an adequate supply of pepto bismol.
the stops in vietnam include: saigon, cantho, hanoi, and nha trang. ten years ago when i went, the main purpose was to visit my sick grandmother, so we didn't really tour around the country much. i never had the opportunity to meet her so my dad planned a last minute family trip to vietnam to see her before she passed. this year's trip will be mostly for pleasure and sightseeing, along with some time to visit family.

harrisburg to chicago to hong kong to saigon are the flight connections; i'm not really looking forward to the 15-hour flight from chicago to hong kong. i'll make sure i have lots of reading material and have my ipod and phone charged up to listen to music. and thank goodness for wi-fi in the hotels.. i need my daily fix of social connections while i am there!
