After an unavoidable and unplanned overnight in Hong Kong, I arrived in Saigon yesterday late AM, spent an hour waiting for my visa processing, then taxied to my downtown hotel. I was greeted by Thong aka Damn Guide and Bee, the hotel manager. Thong and I walked to the bus ticketing office, purchasing two tickets for today's 0800 departure for Nha Trang. We will meet with Thong's niece in Nha Trang upon arrival today. Tomorrow will be the third meeting with Col. Tha, who you'll remember as my former enemy.
Realize that there is a significant time difference between Vietnam and U.S. points. For example, at this writing, it's 1100 hrs in Alaska and 1500 in my home state of Ohio...April 4. Here, we're talking 0200 April 5.
After so many hours in the air, coupled with the unexpected Hong Kong delay, my biological clock is all out of whack. With it going on 0200, though, I must try for sleep in order to make the 0630 opening bell for the hotel's breakfast buffet. Being bright-eyed and bushy-tailed probably isn't going to happen. Dragging butt is more likely.
Later....

ReplyDeleteYep, it's going on 0600 April 6, but I've been awake for several hours. If a decent sleep cycle doesn't kick in, this boy is going to be dragging butt.I'll be trying to produce daily posts. Bye for now, Johna. Neil
