Our Ducks ended up and lost, but we were happy to have watched the game.

A view from our hotel in Saigon

We are staying in an old hotel in District 1 by the name of Empress Hotel. It is a scale down from the places we have been staying at, but a good location for seeing the historical sites of downtown.

Lots of fishing boats on Phu Quac Island

Our little bungalow... our hotel in Honoi helped us book our time on Phu Quac Island. We moved shortly after our arrival.

Words to the Wise: do your own research on places to stay and book well in advance during peak season. There are many places that are not very good, as we found out.
