Back in Hanoi

We are back in Hanoi. We had to go the long way back to Hanoi, but it only took 4.5 hours this time. The rain is still falling. We got to the hotel around 10:00. We are all tired.



The G&R went off without a hitch. When the ceremony was over, we got back into the van. Well, the driver told Ms. Lam that there was a nail in the tire and he took it out and threw it in the bushes. I think that was the last straw for Ms. Lam. I don't know if she was laughing of crying. We decided to take the van to get the tire checked out. It was quite funny, but not surprising. Ends up the tire was fine so we took off for Hanoi.



The kids did great! Nate had a small stinky diaper, but was much better than the 2 we dealt with earlier in the day. He and Rosemary have had opposite problems today. We got to to the hotel with one wound-up little boy. He was ready to play. We played on the nice soft bed. (The hotel in TH was great, but boy was the bed hard. It was just a box springs. Yes, a box springs.)

We start paper work in the morning and will try to do some shopping. I still can't get video to upload, but will get some pictues when I can. Time for bed!

The flooding was on the NBC national news last night, I normally wouldn't have ever even paid attention to that story, but it sure caught my eye and I said a special prayer for your safe travels

what an adventure for you all as you begin this chapter of your new family
