Singapore & Vietnam

Once again, I had the privilege of joining Jeff on one of his business trips to Asia. While I have visited Singapore before, Vietnam was high on my list of places to see and this was my chance.

I met Jeff in Singapore for a few days, where I strolled the streets of Chinatown, Arab and Orchard Street and took advantage of the sales at Raffles City Centre. We then flew to Da Nang, Vietnam, where we had the good fortune of staying at an amazing resort, the Nam Hai. I was to travel on to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) for 2-nights on my own, however Jeff's schedule was changed at last minute, which required him to meet with some colleagues there as well.

While Jeff was quite busy with work, we managed to find some time together and I finally got to see Vietnam. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Our villa was amazing...the photos don't do it justice.

The bed was raised above the living room to provide unobstructed views of the beach.

I got caught in a downpour, which had all the guests of the museum huddled undercover for a good 30 mins.
