A Once-in-a-Lifetime Trip

We just got back from the most amazing vacation I've ever been on (Sorry Kyle, getting head-butted at Disney World has been knocked from its perch). We an 9 other friends went backpacking through Vietnam. What an place. The country and the people are arguably the most beautiful in the world. I loved every minute of it (Well, almost - for a not-so-loved minute, check out Michael's blog). As promised, I have returned with pictures. There are far to many to put all of them, but I'll try to give you a nice timeline of our adventures.



We started with a 30 hour train ride.


This is how much room we had. I was on the top of 3 bunks.





Finally in Vietnam. Michael loved that we were millionaires. Exchange rate is awful.



Hanoi. Capitol city. I love it there.


One of many sleeper buses we had to take as we went stop to stop through Vietnam.


Finally to the beach. Mui Ne=most amazing beach ever. This is how life should be.


Our resort. Pretty incredible for $20/room/night.



Mui Ne is a big kite surfing beach. It was really cool watching them all.

Me & my sweet husband - sunset on the beach.



Never thought I'd try surfing in my life, but I did and I loved it!



All of us at our favorite restaurant. We ate here at least 7 times.


Here it is. Good Morning Vietnam. They serve Italian. Amazing brick oven pizzas.



The only picture I got of Saigon. Notre Dam of the East or something like that. Our last day in Vietnam :(
