I've been shopping and packing for a trip to Vietnam on Wednesday. I haven't been together with my wife in over a year and I can't take it anymore. I'm going to try to talk some sense into the Consulate, and if that doesn't work, I'll go shopping for a Palestinian vest to wear when I visit the next time.
Seriously though I'm going to travel around Vietnam. I chose a great time too. It's the rainy season. It's going to rain constantly until October. At least it won't be
AS hot, though there might be even
MORE mosquitos!!
I'll only be there for 2 and a half weeks. It was nice of my new job to let me go on this trip. They really like me.
I picked up some shorts, t-shirts, and a ton of gifts for my in-laws. They were sad when I couldn't make it for Tet this year so they are thrilled that I can come now.
I am just now noticing how controlling my wife is. She's telling me who I can drink with, how much I can drink, who to buy gifts for, what to buy, etc. I need to nip this in the bud right now before it gets out of hand. I realize she's looking out for me and she's worried about me. But I'm a grown man and an Irish man at that. I know all about drinking.
Anyway, I leave Wednesday night (technically Thursday morning at 1:30am) and I'll try to check in when I can.
