This is my 12 visit to Vietnam My current mission in Vietnam is going to the home villages of all my neices and nephews that have helped me in Vietnam In 2005 I biked from Hanoi to Saigon. Probably the greatest trip I ever experienced. I look forward to returning to Vietnam and enjoying the people and land of Vietnam.

Small villages
Visiting the small villages sounded really special. Nice that you now know the language well enough to communicate. Let us know when you arrive back in Kansas.

smiles and hugs :)
Dear uncle Kent, your tales bring me lots of smiles about this very beautiful memory. I'm on the way to discover other areas of my country, and I bring your Rotaty pen. Still feel safe and warm just like having you around here when carrying it with me. Say hello from me to your whole family and also to your wheat field ^_*. Regards.
