Last Words From Vietnam

This will be our last blog until be get home. We talked to Cooper this morning and, as you can imagine, he is extremely excited that we will be home on Thursday morning.

We are scurrying around the apartment trying to figure out how best to pack everything (broken gifts are not much fun). Our cell phones are charging as well as our iPods. Lucy is watching the Discovery Channel and learning how to prepare a Taoist funeral in Hong Kong….you never know when such information will come in handy.

We have been told that we have to be checked out of our apartment by noon and we don’t leave for the airport until 4:00 p.m. Maybe we’ll drag our bags around Ha Noi and look for that vegetarian restaurant we ate at last night…..that should kill enough time (oops, is it okay to kill time when talking about vegetarian stuff?) Maybe we’ll just have some Pringles…you can always find Pringles in Vietnam.

We’ll I must wrap this up and finish packing.

Tricia and I want to express our heart felt thanks for all of the support and prayers we have received during this venture. We ask that you continue your prayers as we transition into all the changes that we will certainly face when we get home…..it will be some journey.

Peace, Kirk

Best of luck on the long flight home! We are thinking of you.

If you don't want to leave by noon you can pay to have the room longer (that is what we did). I think they charge 1/2 of the nightly fee (I can't remember).

We pray that you have a safe and EASY flight home!

Have a great & uneventful flight home! We'll call Lucy the next time we need to attend a funeral in Hong Kong - she's now the resident expert! :)

We hope your trip home was uneventful and that all is well in Muskogee. We look forward to our first visit with Lucy. Love, Uncle Lance and Aunt Jane
