Up early, around 5:15 Saigon time. Breakfast, fuss and bother with packing and leaving hotel at 7:00.
We were at the airport by 7:15 and then went to the Business Lounge where we chilled until time to board the flight to Hong Kong, a two hour journey. Remarkably uneventful it was.
We were about the first off in Hong Kong and onto a bus in the rain. Our luggage was checked through to Vancouver so we ended up in the 'Transfer Area' as we had our boarding pass for the second flight. That went swift, then a quick security check and walked the half Kilometre to Gate 34. A half hour wait and soon in a big wide, lay-flat seat to begin the 11 hour flight to Beautiful BC.
The clearance was a breeze and Jeanette and Robert were there to greet us and soon on the way home where light snow was falling.
They dropped us off around 1:30 and continued on their busy day.
We had a cup of tea and sorted out the suitcases, checked the mail and got ourselves together before we both crashed around 2:45.
Dinner was a great bowl of turkey soup after which my much younger wife went to Choir practise in the snow.
To bed early for no doubt a somewhat mixed up sleep!
It was one of our better River Cruises, to two countries that were not on our Bucket List but were very glad to have done it. More Culture than Vacation.
I hope to see you on another travel later in the year, Thanks For Joining Us Folks!
At Hong Kong this afternoon, waiting to board.
On board.
Reception Committee, Jeanette and Robert.
At 2:30, light snow continued till evening. Still nice to be home.
