After 27 hours in airports and planes (21 hours in the air, 6 in airports), Laura and I arrived at our hotel in Hanoi at midnight Monday. What a great feeling when we were greeted by name at the Hilton. Tuesday was a light day of visiting some of our best friends, the GVI staff and acclaimed artist Nguyen Minh Son. What a great start to our trip, sharing a meal and fellowship. Last year we took Tan and Minh Son on their first golf outing ever...now Minh Son has a set of golf clubs. He said next trip we need to reserve one day for golf and another for riding motorbikes in the countryside. Easy to see why we are friends isn't it. Time spent with the GVI staff is always inspiring...it is always exciting discussing our shared vision for the future of elderly care in Vietnam. Laura and I just finished a walk in the French quarter of Hanoi... Dinner tonight at the Hanoi Press Club and tomorrow we get to deliver donated gifts to elderly and orphans at SS3.
