We are here

We are here... but are having a real diddy with the time change. We made it through Japan and into Ho Chi Minh City without issue... scoring Business Class the whole way... Thanks Delta! Once we made it to the hotel, of course, we were just too excited to sleep. So we went on a pho run and had some of the best food ever. Of course, we were starving, so shoe leather on a stick would have been great at that point.

Long story short, we didn't get back to our room until 3 am (shhhhh don't tell Ashton's daddy that I kept him out that late), and didn't go to bed until 4 am. At 6 am, we were wide awake and ready to hunt down some breakfast. (Catching the theme here? We are all about feeding our bellies). After breakfast this morning, we jumped on motorbikes and headed off to the central post office to mail out postcards to the girls and my wonderful husband that is home with them ;-) After that we went on a run to Ben Thanh market and got us some really cool Smorth... uhm, North Face backpacks. After teaching Ashton the fine art of negotiations, we tried his skills for some Lychees. After getting the price knocked down in half, we took his loot to the park and enjoyed Lychees with the locals.

Ashton is doing great. He is enjoying the motorbikes and shopping, the sun and heat, the sights and sounds and the excitment that is Ho Chi Minh City. We came back to the room at 2 pm to "take a little rest"... well, it is now 1 am Friday night and I just woke up. Apparently a little nap equals a 10 plus hour slump into a coma. And Ashton is STILL sleeping. I don't know whether to wake him up or let him sleep into tomorrow. Either way, our internal clocks are clearly off kilter.

More to come... and perhaps I will even manage to upload a picture or two...

Peace,

Kristi and Ashton
