We have been in HCM City now for two days......but I must tell you about our last day in Hoi An. Firstly, part of the package was beauty treatment.....I need much, Helen needs little. However, I agreed to follow Helen wherever she dared her body to go. I was massage by a lady that had muscles like Arnie but the size of his twin, Danny Devito, ....... no pain, no gain attitude, had my body scrubbed with salt which felt like being rubbed down with cruchy peanut pas...

Where do I begin after our staggered start with Helen laid low. By the afternoon of that first day, Helen managed to staggeer down for A/tea and then a head, hand and foot massage which lifted the mograine fog.

I was even dragged into the situation and have had two pairs of shoes made.The travel agent in the hotel, Hoi An Express have been the best. We have spent time on threee half day tou...

It would be nice to stay there longer as we really enjoy this small place as a place of R&R. Hopefully tonight(October 3rd) we will have our case...

Well after about two hours sleep at Rebecca and Roh's it was off to the airport where we struck gold with their new check in and were in and "coffeing' within 30 mins. We have never had problems with Singapore Airlines and just love Singapore Airport. It is so interesting and the food selections are really diverse. Silk Air followed........ I wish they would speak slowly.......and knew how to use microphones. Service is great but somtimes hard to understa...
