We're Here!!

We are officially on Vietnamese soil- our plane landed right before midnight local time. The streets were still pretty crazy with motorcycles! These people really have no fear! We're in the Rex- which is really nice for history nerds like me. They couldn't find our reservation for the longest time- it was under the travel agency that Holt used to book it. What was amazing was all the reservation information was on paper and crossed out with highlighter, not a computer. The lady that had picked us up at the airport was so sweet and stayed to be sure it was straightened out- I understand very few Vietnamese words it turns out! The clerk kept asking something about mats- I think he was saying draps because we found a card with that word in a mostly correct english sentence that makes sense if drap=bed. It all worked out somehow, because we got the right size room! We are so excited it's going to be hard to sleep- even for me, which is saying something!- but I'd like to get on the right time before we get Isaac Tuesday. I can't wait!! And for those in my family who hate to do the math- we'll get him at 8pm Monday night your time- the Giving and Receiving is around 9:30. On the plane in we were looking at all the rooftops wondering if any of those were his roof- We are so close now!!!!!
