Hello, peeps! How are you?

Recently, BF and I went on an Asia trip covering 4 countries: Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, and South Korea. In this post, I am going to talk about our adventures in Vietnam.

We’ve never thought in our lifetimes that we will travel to Vietnam, especially with the history between Vietnam and the US. However, some of our good friends have traveled there in the past, and have only spoken of how wonderful and enjoyable their vacations were.

Our adventure, and the first leg of our trip, started with an 8-hour flight from Honolulu to Narita. We were excited. We planned this for months, and it’s finally happening!

It was the last leg of our Europe trip in 2018. It was the icing on the cake. If you haven’t read our adventures in Czech Republic, Portugal, and Switzerland, click here, here, and here.

Because we spent most of our vacation time in Portugal and Switzerland, we only had two full days left in Paris. This wasn’t a biggie because this was our second time, and we already explored most of the tourist spots that we wanted to visit back in 2014.
