The last flight into Hanoi was a doozy. When we arrived we were met by Allie and Ninh. We found out that we JUST missed most of the Oct 13th group but we did meet Pat T, & the Freeman's once we got to the hotel. On the way to the hotel our van brokedown. There we were along with Allie, Ninh, Carol & Steve, Marsha, Tom, and her adorable little girl Karley standing on the side of the road watching the ugh..traffic (lol).
The traffic flow is everything you've heard about and then some. It's amazing how much stuff they get packed on the back of these mopeds. Or not. We saw one poor guy who lost his stuff all over. There's NO WAY he was going to get all that back on there by himself. We alternated between laughing hysterically at all the mopeds cutting in and out of traffic and gasping when it looked as if we may hit one of them. No rules of the road here just do what you want and blow your horn.
We had good intentions of going out to eat tonight with the other families but when we got to the hotel Carl crashed.
