We took a one hour flight north out of HCMC and landed at Cam Rahn Bay (an American Naval Base during the Vietnam War). Next came a 1/2 hour bus ride to a local restaurant for great food and a little karaoke (even Jake joined in on Dancing Queen). From there, we took a speed boat ride (very Fantasy Island-like 'the plane, the plane') to our resort.
This place is absolutely beautiful... a little slice of heaven on earth. Clear ocean, rocky shorelines, islands covered in mountains -- stunning. Pretty soon the world will be in on the secret -- the Miss Universe Pageant will take place here in August, and the city is working hard to prepare themselves for the influx of people. The attention is bringing tourist dollars into the area -- which has its pro's and con's. In general, we are enjoying the time (a mini vacation inside the larger trip) swimming, sand castle making, water-parking etc.
