I Saw It First – Adjusting To Life In the Future.
It is 1:53am in Da Nang on November the 14th. It is 1:53 pm on November 13th in Atlanta. I actually tried this time to prepare for jet lag and try and adjust before I arrived. I landed at about 7 am in Da Nang on the 13th and had slept most of both flights.… continue reading Read More

Da Nang: Return to the City of Bridges
It has been a few days since I arrived back in Da Nang and I must say it is a much different place than I left some four months ago. I was fortunate back in January and February to experience Da Nang and most of Vietnam in a mild spell of “winter”, if one can call any place and time in indochina such a word as winter.… continue reading Read More

Blood Makes Noise.
Arriving in Hanoi I was not prepared for the pollution that seemed to smother the city. It was like looking through a gray, dingy pair of goggles. We drove for a while before crossing the Nhật Tân Bridge over the Red River, with its five cable-stayed towers representing the five ancient gates of the fabled city.… continue reading Read More

The Great Escape.

I was pulled back to reality by a gentle hand on my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see Diem’s face as she explained that It was time to check in for our flight. There was no line, and we walked straight up to the counter.… continue reading Read More

To Be or Not to Be.
It was 06:30 when the low light of the jungle sun crept into my hotel window. I rose from the bed, threw some clothes on, and headed downstairs to see if they still had last year’s coffee floating around. I poured two glasses (the first probably wouldn’t make it up the stairs) and ordered two omelets with baguettes to be delivered to my room.… continue reading Read More

Post massage lunch
We headed out of the parlor for a post-massage lunch. Our cab driver navigated the endless honking of the motorbikes and delivery trucks to get us there. We stopped at Bún Chả cá Ba Phien for lunch. It is an open-air local hot spot that specializes in drum roll please, Bún Chả cá.… continue reading Read More

Do I have to? Wait, what did you say?
After coffee and a break, we went back to the hotel. On the ride over, everyone was discussing getting a spa treatment done. Help ease the jet lag was the argument. Full massage, hot stones, feet, scalp, almost two hours of pampering.… continue reading Read More
