Since it has been a little while since I have posted any pictures, I thought I would put some u today … for the last time???

On the way up to Hanoi from HCMC, we had the airlines get a wheelchair for Tammy’s mom because she has a bad knee.  While Kelly and Tammy had to go the normal route to get to the airplane, Lynn and I received the custom treatment and were lifted up into the back of the plane on a food service lift!

I thought I would throw in some pictures of our hotel room here in Hanoi.  The problem is, the hotel looks pretty nice in the pictures!  It isn’t bad, it is just a little worn and, as I said before, loud.  They are doing construction next door and they work until almost midnight every night.

Here is where we have breakfast in the mornings.  Today, I’m not feeling very good, so Kelly went solo without me!

As with all of the hotel’s we go to, Mia is adored by all the staff.  These girls just LOVE babies!

We went for a walk yesterday while waiting for our incorrect appointment time at the INS.  The streets here are much wider than HCMC and that makes it feel like it is not quite as congested.

I took a picture of this bus because it was just PACKED with people.  I don’t know if you can see it or not, but it looks like you couldn’t fit another body in there if you tried!

We were desperate to find a restaurant to eat in, so we ended up in an open street place.  This was probably our most ambitious lunch outing yet!  The food was good, but it may have been my demise today!  Everyone else seemed to handle it OK.

We finally found the NICE part of Hanoi last night and were able to have a nice dinner for a change.  There was another beautiful park around the lake in the old district of Hanoi.  However, by the time we got out of dinner, it was too dark to get any decent shots.

Here is a final shot of Mia and I enjoying our night on the town!

I am ready to go.  We leave in just a few minutes to go to the INS office.  The next post should tell you we are coming home!
