We spent a good few days here with Rik and Rach (who are now engaged, big congratulations there), before heading down to Mui Ne for some much needed "look, I have a drink and a lounger, I'm not moving" time, after some three days of sun, we stayed our final night in Saigon, and will be flying to Bangkok later today.
Fear not, we'll be staying at the Bangkok Cha-Da again, which is out of the way, and therefore no need to worry about the recent problems. The only exception to this is if the airport is closed, and we have to extend our travels for another few weeks... but we have "Pie Night" to look forward to, can't say I won't be sad to see the ugly back of Vietnamese cuisine, give me Thai any day of the week!
Still can't quite compute that we're staring 4 days in the face, as much as i'm looking forward to seeing you all, I'm not sure I'm ready for rip-off Britain and finding a flat, a job and maybe even some new pants. That said, CV is updated, and had a few enquiries from recruiters, hopefully it will be easy.
To aid with the above, we're having some tailor made suits made in Saigon (which will arrive a week after we get home), so we'll both be looking dapper, and sharp.
Anyway, food is on the table, bye for now!

Thought you,d got lost.Can,t believe you,re in your last week.Great news about Rik and Rachel.Enjoy the last few days looking forward to seeing you both on Mon.Love Mumx and Rob
Hey both. Quite poignant to see an end to these very enjoyable posts. I feel that I know much more about all of these countries courtesy of your very able dialogue. Still - it'll be great to see you back, and you'll just LOVE the UK with wall-to-wall media coverage of 'lie through their teeth' scumbag politicians who want your vote in the May election, and - food and petrol prices the like of which you've not seen for months [Unleaded - £1.20 a litre!]. Here's to seeing you both on Monday. Can't wait. Dad
I'm going to miss catching up with your blog! James you should seriously think about a career change, you're a natural at travel writing! Have a safe trip back you two and hope to see you soon! x
It's set to turn cold here this week so have your winter woolies ready. I agree the blogs have been great. maybe you should continue from London! Looking forward to seeing you both on Monday. Lots of love Mum & Dad xxx
