Well, being the privileged and impatient people that we are, we decided to ditch Borneo (a same-day decision) and fly to Thailand for a little beach time. This decision happened over the time span of a morning, and by the evening--for a whopping $7 total--we were flying to Thailand. Side note, Malaysia Airlines is AWESOME, and I highly recommend them. We rented ourselves a motto, and for the past few days, we've been just beaching it.
What does it mean for our travel? Well, instead of being in Borneo until today and then flying into Ho Chi Minh, we flew out of Borneo on Saturday and have been in Thailand since then. On Friday, though, we fly to Ho Chi Minh for one night (where our visas are valid to enter through) and then fly to Da Nang the next morning to begin our time in Hoi An for the Vietnamese New Year! Woohoo. We'll be settled in Hoi An for a week, giving us time to catch up on a little work and get prepared to meet mi gals in Hanoi the next week.
The light is ever-so-slight at the end of the tunnel. We can see it, but there is still a long way to go. Keep wishing us well, and we'll see you all soon!!
It is always good to hear from you all and in true Griffin fashion you are always up to something exciting and totally off course!!
ReplyDeleteWhere in Thailand are you beaching it?
ReplyDeletePhuket, Sheila! We skipped it last time we were in Thailand, but honestly, we'd go back: the beaches are amazing and so easily accessible.
