The internet has been up and down and I keep missing it, so here is a short reveiw so far. Hanoi was wonderful, colonial architecture, tree lined streets, parks and lakes. Visited all the sights and enjoyed a little shopping. The ride there and back was 21/2 hours each way through rice patties where the women were bent over for hours planting the new crop, conical hats on their heads. The farmland was green and fertile. Beautiful children lined the road on their way to and from school. The Voyager is as fabulous as always. La veranda is now Casa de Angelo, a Ft. Lauderdale rest. that we are familiar with so we plan on trying it Monady. The seas have been rough last two evening with the waves breaking over the windows in Compass Rose as we sat and had dinner with 6 friends the first night. We were very comfortable. Last night we were in Signatures in the heavy seas and didn't feel a thing. The captain was two tables away from us having a great time. The food has been great in all the restaurants. There have been a few docking problems but we don't mind missing the second day in Hanoi due to the tides. We enjoyed the day at anchor with all the activities on board. Yesterday we had to change docking because of the rough seas and the captain did a fabulous job of docking us in Da Nang, it was very windy and took a few tries. We spent the day in Hoi An, charming untouched town, friendly people etc...This morning the sun is out for the first time in over a week so I'm headed to the pool, more later
