Flying over south east Vietnam it looked like there were miles upon miles of Christmas lights. It was a really amazing site. Looked it up later and it’s from the Dragon Fruit farms. Each plant in the field gets its own light to keep it growing round the clock, and makes for a magical view when flying over in the dark.

After a redeye flight, landing in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

After some flight delays, finally boarding for Da Nang

On the bus to get out to the tarmac and our plane. SGN isn’t big enough to handle all the flights, so you board most of them via air-stairs far away from the terminal.

Ocean view from our Da Nang hotel. Time for some much needed sleep

Shawn has platinum hotel status, so they had a delicious tray of Christmas goodies set up in our room when we checked in.

Vietnamese version of White Claw (left) is terrible, but the beer is good and washing down the lobster chips

Spicy Lobster chips, not horrible…
