chúc mừng năm mới!!! Happy New Year 2012!!! We just got back from the celebration at the waterfront in Nha Trang and the fireworks were awesome!! We spent the day at Vinpearl Land which is like our Canada's Wonderland only a gazillion times cheaper! (only a slight exaggeration) The cost to ride the cablecar (longest in the world) which was at least a ten minute ride over the ocean to Vinpearl Island, plus the entrance fee to the park including a waterpark and underwater world with a tunnel under a large aquarium and an indoor area with two floors of games that usually require tokens but here are free! Well, not free......included in the $16 fee! Lol The only thing you had to pay for was food and even that was cheap! There was a beautiful beach with the softest sand. Mal prefered to ride the rollercoaster over and over while Em and I had a blast in the water park. It was so much bang for the buck that we decided to take the overnight bus back to Saigon tomorrow night so we can go back and spend the day at Vinpearl. How can we resist!
Anyway, we hope you all have a fantastic New Year celebration when your turn comes and we will see you in 2012!

What memories you will have!! Tamer has been reading it all along and keeping me posted since the beginning...but I much prefer to read it. Love the toilet humour!! Keep it coming! How is the 'tool' working? LOL! The mental images that I conjur up just by reading the blog cracks me up!! Do you have a picture of you towering over a crowd?? Perhaps a mini-film of you walking amongst the crowded city, gesturing like Godzilla? lOL! Take lots of photos for our January monthly dinner!! We want a show! Miss you all, can't wait to see you!

  4. So nice to hear from you Gaelle! Don't worry we have many, many photos to show you. As for the tool, it's still in the bag......at Phil's sister's house where I didn't need to use it. -_- I never seem to have the right things with me when I need them. Oh well.
    Lisa-did you go to Vinpearl while you were in Nha Trang? Is this your mom's home town?
