I'm dreaming of a hot Chrstmas

We made it! Walking out of the air conditioned airport into a muggy 80 degree evening put a smile on our faces. Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) is about 10 degrees north of the equator so it will be it the 90's while we are down here in the south.

For the first couple of days we are staying in District 2 outside the city. We thought there would be no better way to get over jet lag than spend a day at a swimming pool. The place we are staying has a ferry that will take us along the river into the town center.

It was so much fun driving from the airport last night and being reminded of all the unique sights that Vietnam has to offer...specifically the unbelievable number of motor scooters on the roads. It only took us 5 minutes to find our first sighting of 4 people on a scooter.
