Today is go. We finished packing and enjoyed breakfast before 10am massages. Our driver came at 11:45 to drive us to the airport in De Nang. We were early and I’d much prefer that to being late. It was a new experience for me to be told that we were too early to check in however. Yes, it was more than three hours. At first she said we were too early, then she said our flight would be delayed for three hours. Three hours! Wait. We can’t check in because we are too early but then, the flight will be delayed three hours!?!? There has to be an earlier flight I ask. Well, we needed to go wait in another line and yes, eventually they did get us on another flight that left earlier than our original flight. Yes, today it paid off to get to the airport way too early.
Easy cab ride to our hotel, Harmony Saigon Hotel and Spa. Checked in and out to explore. We can unpack later. All in all, it was a pretty easy travel day.
Everywhere, everyone is getting ready for Tet and the new Year. Flowers everywhere. It really is beautiful. We will be leaving right before the official celebration but already many places are closed and people are traveling to get home to be with their families. We had looked forward to visiting our favorite vegetarian restaurant one more time but I’m glad they are allowing the workers to enjoy their holiday.
Justin and I like the vibe of Saigon so much more than Hanoi. It’s funny how cities have their own personality.
