Checking in From Hanoi - Feb 5, 2010

Finally got here this morning - kind of crazy to get on the airplane Thurs night and have it be dark for 16hrs + then once it gets light, it's Saturday! I read about the first 200 pages of time traveller's wife (excellent book so far, very capturing, helped pass the time great) and I felt like I was time travelling too! No hiccups with the flight or anything, although there was no tv or movies really - one really big screen toward the front that I couldn't see - but I did sleep some off and on, did some crossword puzzles, read and read some magazines.

Am checked into the hostel now, the room is very bare bones, but good for the price! M and I are going to venture out and go exploring around the area as we are staying in a part of town that is "old town" - lots of little markets and shops and restaurants. We are going to go have some beef noodle soup, see what else we find, and try to stay awake at least until a decent time to go to bed to try to adjust.

Will be exploring more museums around the city tomorrow, then Monday night is our Ha Long bay overnight trip.
