Waiting at the gate for our flight to Hanoi. We lined up a hotel in the old quarter, equidistant from the major market (three stories high we've heard) and the lake. It's a great spot for walking around and the hotel came recommended out of the Lonely Planet guide. We'll be three nights in Hanoi and then we'll see where we're off to next.

Our travel plans were reversed when we decided to fly back home through Hong Kong, so we're going north to south in Vietnam instead of south to north.

Apropos of nothing, we're sitting in a new terminal in Bangkok and it's spectacular, one of the best airports I've ever seen. It looks like it's from the future. After I post pictures when we get back, just wait for this location to appear in some big-budget summer film in the next year.

We'll talk to you all again from Hanoi, Vietnam!
