"Goooood-morning Vietnam!! "

Okay, so that quote was going to pop up somewhere in this post, I figured I'd just get it out of the way in the title. But it is a great morning, and I am in Vietnam. We made it through Customs and got our entry visas with a quick $25 in US cash on the way in... about 45 minutes after landing in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam we were on our way to our hotel in District 1. It's been a crazy couple of days trying to figure out our itinerary now that a Katrina-esque storm has taken out most of central Vietnam... but the country is amazing and beautiful and very, very cheap. Great food too. I'm off to the bank to exchange some travelers checks before we hop a train up to Nha Trang at 1:00. More updates when we get settled there and I track down an Internet-cafe.
