Last Day in Vietnam


11/15/2008
Where did the last 2 weeks go??? Waking up this morning was a little difficult for 2 reasons. First I caught the flu (not bird flu) and was nauseous all day with a huge migraine and second our vacation was coming to an end and the thought of sitting on a plane for 17 hours with an 8 hour layover in Korea did not sound all that pleasing.

We spent the afternoon hitting up the open markets and then decided to go to the mall because it was super hot and humid and we needed somewhere with air conditioning. From my observations this mall was super expensive, looks like everything is imported so the price was the same as back in the states. (NO DEALS!)

After arriving back to my uncle's house we started packing for our departure and Sarah wanted to try a few other native fruits.



Off to the airport we go... When we got to the International Terminal, I found out that this was brand new and has only been open in the past year. It was very nice none the least. Once in the air I pretty much passed out until we arrived in Seoul, Korea. We flew on Asiana Airlines and I must say they are top notched in their customer service. When we arrived in Korea we had an eight hour layover. What is cool is when you fly Asiana and have an extended layover what they will do is either offer you a guided tour around the city or give you a room at a nearby hotel. We opted for the room because I was still feeling under the weather. Anyways the rest of the flights were uneventful (which is what you expect when you fly) and glad to be back in 60 degree weather.
