Weeks ago I lost my subway card and finally got a replacement. This morning when I went to put money onto it I discovered that the money on the lost card had been transferred to the new one. It was a happy little moment to start us on the trip.
We are get-there-early travelers and always allow extra travel time. Around here, however, that sometimes means we get places too early. But today the ticket counter opened at 11:25 and we arrived at 11:26. And the ticket counter personnel were friendly and helpful too.
The airport had a very nice display of orchids, always a plus in my opinion.
The plane was ready and the passengers were all loaded so we left ten minutes early. Who does that? Then, when we arrived in Vietnam we sped through the airport faster than any flight I can remember. From landing to taxi took us 30 minutes, including passport check, luggage retrieval, customs and a stop at the ATM.
To finish the travel day we took a taxi through the most congested, lawless traffic I have ever seen. We were greeted at our little hotel by an incredibly friendly host and shown to our room where there were flower petals strewn across the bed and water on the bedside table dressed up in a coolie hat.
