Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)




Well, living in luxury has been no easy task. The Rex Hotel is a 4 star hotel with a huge buffet style continental breakfast and lots of extras available upon request. A full body massage, Dead Sea Salt body scrub, and a facial...for 90 minutes of deluxe treatment...was a good time of relaxation to equip for the stresses of the hussle and bussle of big city living! (all for only $20 no less!) Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) has been an adventure. We've enjoyed lots of shopping and dodging of motorbikes, cars, and buses to cross major intersections with the help of a tourist traffic guard. Larry says that the traffic guards slogan is, "Keeping our tourism alive...literally!" We are leaving today to travel up to Hanoi. Please pray for safe travels and for Eli's first time in an airplane!
