Group in Saigon March 22nd

Upon arrival at the Majestic Hotel in Saigon, we gathered around to visit and better get to know new travelers.

Nice picture of Gary and Brandon, who is the son of a Vietnam Veteran.  Brandon and his mother, Karen are on the trip to dedicate a newly built school in honor of father/husband who died just 4 months ago.  Lanny Saumer was very active in the D.O.V.E. Fund and is really missed by all who knew him.

Picture of Gary and an elder Vietnamese man sitting together on the airport shuttle at Tan Son Nhat Airport.  The elder initially gave up his seat to Gary but later they decided they could both sit there.  They were chattering away together...neither one know the other's language!  Pretty special!

Gary and I both visited with our new friend, Karen Saumer...P.S. that's what I look like after 18 hours on planes and being up for about 40 hours!

Traditional Vietnamese dance and song over dinner at the Saigon Morin hotel, Hue.
