Family Trip...

Since my wife and I got married and came to the US to live it has been 14 months and my wife missed her mother and family very much. And since we had navigated the government to get my wife her legal residence we took a trip back to Vietnam. We arrived in HCM on April 8th and went to a new hotel where my long time viet friend is now working. I forgot to tell you that we arrived with 225lbs. of gifts and presents for all family and friends. Lucky my viet friend helped me to truck all that up to the city where my wife is from so we did not have to drag and pay for all that baggage. We only spent 2 days in HCM before flying up to Dalat in the mountains where the weather was awesome. We spent almost 2 weeks up in Dalat with all the family and friends and had a great time. We went into the country side to the house of the brother of my wife for the first time. Before we have always gone to her sisters house because it is closer and easier to get to but we rented a car and finally got to brothers. It is very beautiful in the country side of Vietnam and the life style is very rural. For the last part of our trip I wanted to take my wife to the island of Phu Quoc in the gulf of Thailand off the Cambodian coast. It was not easy but when all was said and done it was cheap. When in Vietnam as many 3rd world countries there is nobody to help you find your way to places so either you get lucky or a friend has been there to help you. We had a cottage on the pool right above the beach as all the beach cottages were full but for $47 a night with a great breakfast it was hard to complain. On our second day on the island we rented a motor bike to travel to the other side of the island to see the sugar sand beaches there and got into an accident. My wife broke her leg and I have 3rd degree burns on my leg. We had a rough time getting home as there was no medical treatment you could trust where we were so it was run for home. My wife and I are now healing and licking our wounds.
