We’ll be on the road again today, heading to Da Lat. In case I don’t get connected in the next day or two, I’ll take this opportunity to say Merry Christmas to all!

We left Ho Chi Minh City on Monday. Spent the first night at a beautiful beach resort in Mui Ne. Tuesday saw us arrive in Nha Trang. Spent much of Wednesday on the ocean–boating, a little SCUBA, fresh seafood. Christmas in a beach resort is a difficult thing to endure, but I’m taking one for the team.

I hope all my friends have a remarkable and joyous holiday!

I have a surefire way of determining if traffic is going to be totally nuts on any given day:

My phone has a GPS. In the morning, I fire up Google Maps. If I’m still in Ho Chi Minh City, I know the traffic it going to suck.
