They arrived in HCMC and took an $8 taxi ride to their beautiful hotel ($40 a night). I sure wish American prices were more like that, we could possibly afford a vacation. They struggled to figure out their AC, but managed to get it up and running. The hotel they are staying at is right next to a shopping center (more like a market) that has plenty of last minute items that they will want such as sodas and water. They leave for Can Tho Saturday morning. They will have had two days of rest and recovery before a 6hr taxi ride through the south end of Vietnam. Thanks for keeping them in your thoughts and prayers. We will keep you all updated on their trip as it unfolds!

Their Journey Continues in HCMC
Sometimes you don't think about what time it is on the other side of the world. I spent most of the day on Wednesday trying to figure out what time it was for the Blackwells as they traveled across the globe. They left from Charlotte on EST to San Fran and gained 3 hrs in the air, only to lose an entire day when they travelled across the International Date line. I spent all of Thursday wanted the Blackwells to wake up, just to report on the sites of Ho Chi Minh City, their hotel, the weather... Finally friends, we have a report.
