Yep, it's early Saturday evening and we are trying to unpack and settle ourselves into what will be our temporary home for the next few months. We had a great time last week enjoying Vietnam and then we spent one night in Hong Kong before we hopped on the long flight back to Chicago. We had a quick layover in Tokyo and Skip and Holly brought their kids out to the airport to visit with us and to help us pass the time.
The struggles of dealing with picking up 8 checked items of luggage once landed, and finding a taxi that can hold all, seemed easily manageable - I'm guessing that's because here everyone speaks fairly fluent English. Now we are dealing with the fun of unpacking and organizing these belongings so that tomorrow we are fresh and ready to run all of the other errands that need to be completed when one returns.
So sometime next week, as we get the time, we will go back into our Vietnam trip and share our thoughts and photos...

I can't believe you two are back in Chicago! It's the ending of an era... I hope you are feeling happy and comfy back home.
WELCOME HOME!!!
Glad to see you made it home safely. Looking forward to reading about Vietnam--we are trying to book a visit there over CNY and found a promising-looking B&B that we might try. Any advice? ps--the sun came out after 4 days of gloom and we are using the deck chairs! So much better than the cruddy kitchen chairs we dragged out to the balcony!
