Dear Friends,
I can't believe it's Monday already. This time next week, I will be sitting on a plane on my way to Hong Kong.
I still have so much to do. I bought a new camcorder, just for this adventure. I've never owned a camcorder before, so this will be yet another first. I simply must test it out before I go to make sure I know how to operate it...one of these days, I will get to it.
Did you know that one of the things they recommended we bring to Vietnam is reading glasses? Apparently, a lot of people in the villages can really use reading glasses, because of the handicraft work they do, but reading glasses in Hanoi cost about $3 whereas I was able to pick up reading glasses at Dollarama for $1 each. My suitcases are almost all packed now...not too many clothes, mostly giveaways for the people in Vietnam and some favorite packages snack foods for me (cereal bars, instant oatmeal, crackers, etc.). I'm anticipating some challenges with being a vegetarian in Vietnam!
Almost all my immunization shots are done...one more final Hepatitis B shot on Friday morning left..just in the nick of time. I thought I would have a ton of shots, but I guess with all the travelling I've done in the recent past, I'm pretty well immunized. But I do have a small bag full of my vitamins, malaria pills and emergency medication.
Once I get my camera going, I'll test out the features on this blog that allow sharing of images...for now, bear with the boring text!
