c'est finit

Oh man. Vietnam seems so close and so far now that Ryan and I have made it back into the US of A. This was our parting shot as we taxied into Tan Son Nhut airport in Saigon. We enjoyed all the hilarious mispellings and phrases and this was one of them, "well-wishers gallery". What a formal name for an area where your friends and family come to see you off.
It's amazing how quickly we reintegrated back into 'normal' American life, whatever that is. Getting back in touch with friends, spending time with family, figuring out a way to move up to Seattle (we're in Fremont now). And, not really having adventures per se to write about in a blog anymore. How sad. But thanks to all of you who have hung out, read some funny stories, bad grammar and wished us well. Hopefully in a distant adventure in the future, we'll have a chance to do this again.

May there be laughter, good food, and good times in 2008. And here's an international phrase you can use when you next quaff your next beer: mot, hai, ba, yo!

Sent a message yesterday, but it ain't showing up. Just wanted to say that I'm glad you are back after a successful, wonderful trip. It's a wrap, eh? I say visit alot and we can practice a little mot,hai, ba, yo together.

Thanks for sharing your trip....M/P
