Last day

We had an early breakfast and then had a car and driver take us to the airport.  The hotel staff and Little Hanoi Deluxe hotel were so great. They had only been open 2 weeks so were trying so hard to get everything right. This picture is Henry , the hotel manager and Na, whose calls herself Daisy. She was training to be assistant manager. She said she would remember us because we were the first people she dealt with at the hotel. We really loved our stay there.  Off to the airport in the rain but it's warm and humid  We hope this will help our long trip We can't believe how quickly this trip has gone...hard to believe it has been 32 days. We have seen incredible places and experienced so many new things. The people in both Cambodia and Vietnam have been friendly and full of smiles even in harsh conditions. We have been acutely aware of how fortunate we are. The noise, dirt and smog will not be soon forgotten. But more the will and drive of the people. And of course the traffic....motorcycles, scooters in Vietnam and tuk tuks in Cambodia. We loved the Khmer food in Cambodia and some of the Vietnamese food....coffee, croissants, spring rolls and fruit. But not so much the every day fare as it was not as spiced as we like and much cooked in oil. The weather was somewhat disappointing. We had 2 weeks of extreme heat and humidity then 2 weeks of drizzle. The wet weather had us change our plans at the end....only 2 days in Sapa and no 3 day beach at Cat Be island. Although it wasn't quite as planned we didn't let it stop us from continuing to explore and enjoy.  Home safe and sound now.... 20 1/2 hrs. door to door. Already talking about what will be our next adventure 😍 ????
