Tonight I'll be leaving Vietnam for the second time to return home, but on much better terms this time. I'll never view this country with the same eyes again. I was fascinated by the beauty of the countryside and the joyful friendliness of the children. I suppose that is the way kids are everywhere, even in Vietnam. Saigon is a little too active and busy for an old person like me, but it has a certain appeal, with its throbbing activity and commerce.
This trip was a gift from Wini, my wife of nearly 40 years. It was an awesome gift. Sometimes I think she knows me better than I know myself.
See you in Spokane!

So....welcome home Joel. WOW what a trip! Your characterizations and descriptions were really good....I could almost visualize the sights...although 92 degree humidity does not appeal to me. You probably came home to snow...that will require an adjustment! We are leaving Sandy May 30 for Medaline Falls. We can drop by either that evening or the next day....I'll call. Really anxious to see some photos, and hear more stories. Les
Hi Joel,
I just discovered your blog about our trip.It is interesting to read, how you experienced the time we shared. You never talked about your time in Vietnam during war a lot. Thanks for sharing this very personal memory.
I created a group on flickr.com to share our photos. You can contact me, if you want to contribute your photos to the group.
Best wishes
Robert
