We have arrrived


(Marshall and Lily looking at the BIG plane we were flying from Atlanta to Seoul, Lily crashed on the last leg from Seoul to HCMC)

About 30 hours of traveling and we are in the hotel room, in Ho Chi Mihn city - in VIETNAM!!! the flights were uneventful. Lily and Marshall were great travelers. Our pick up person was ecactly where she was supposed to be. Customs was a breeze. Korean Air was fabulous. The traffic, even at 11 at night is unbelievable here. Can't wait to explore tomorrow. Wendi - I'll be finding some bun xeo for you!! Love, the Duda family! :)
