Email sent to A. from Thailand, November 27, 2006:
It is very hard to think the holidays are around the corner at home. No Christmas music here. It is also in the 90’s. We are greeted at each arrival back at the hotel with cold lemony cloths. Each time we get back on the bus we are given a bottle of cold water and an face and hand cloth. the hotels are super luxurious…old ones from the 1900’s that have been restored, staff falling all over us, terrific breakfasts with dim sum every morning and a huge asortment of fruit and French pastries, left from French occupation of Cambodia and Vietnam.
Going to Saigon or Ho Chi Minh city this afternoon. Took a boat ride on a large lake to visit a fishing village, alligator farm and more. A very National Geographic morning.
We are following the footsteps of Somerset Maugham as he traveled from Thailand to Burma, Cambodia and Vietnam. Lots to learn, questions. The arrangements are seamless.
Remember to check your auto insurance policy.
So excited that you are going to see the Roches.
See you next Wednesday early afternoon.
Heaps of love, my darling girl!
