Now that you all are experienced with Hong Kong's Ocean Terminal, does anyone know an easier way to board than to lug luggage through whole mall? Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

No, not obviously. Even tour busses only got a little closer. A driver service may be able to get you closer, but not taxis. Plan on hiking or getting a porter - in advance.

Vietnam visa and entry stamp. Ship got this for us, but this is individual visa only required for overnights. Group visa different.

As we did a b2b of the same cruise we needed a multiple entry so got it before we left. Very easy if you live near a consulate. We got off in ha long and did a 2 night cruise. Then drove to Hanoi for 3 nights and flew to Saigon. To rejoin the ship.

Visas are so much nicer then in the past. Love my passports.

Have a great time in Vietnam.

We get MSNBC and FOXNEWS, plus NYT website is free. People can stay as informed as they choose. But doing a lot of online reading is harder.

 

People make passing references to elections as you would expect but that is about it.

 

The comedian will have a hay day.

If your wife wears ethnic clothing, (and doesn't already have one), she might be interested in getting an Ao Dai.

They are really comfortable, the pants can be used with other tops, and they weigh almost nothing.:D. Mine fits flat in a gallon sized ziplock bag, and I get tons of complements.

Pretty nice. Fast wifi...good air cond...

Thanks for the tip!

Have a great time in Hoi an (it's not flood season is it? All the families move to the upper levels and then clean the floors as the water levels drop - amazing resilience) hope they still have all the lanterns at night

Walls I meant but presumably floors too

O.K. But what is an Ao Dai??? Sounds like it might be good for Florida.

It probably would be. Google it for a better idea. It's like a light jacket or shirt style at the top but flows down into panels to your heels or ankles. This can go over breezy pants or skirts. Take a look; you'll love them!

We are still catching up after 2 long days in port. On our way to Phu My where we start our overland to Angor Wat.

[jig]

Are you doing it on your own or an organized trip. Pretty easy to do it on you own. Done it twice.

[jig]

New road from port to Saigon. Cut down the time quite a bit.

[chefestelle]

I'm thinking more like these for Florida

If you google it look for MODERN ones and there are 2 or three patterns available as well if you sew
