    Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

    March 11 in Vietnam ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    After our full days in Ho Chi Minh City, the only thing on our schedule today was the included tour scheduled to depart at 7:30 AM. We both were very tired so we opted to cancel our tour.

    We went to lunch. Bob was going to return a shirt to the market at the pier but time got away from him.

If the meeting with her boss does not satisfy our concerns, she could offer to meet with us at her first opportunity.

    But, nope, her response was just that she was too busy. We shook our heads and walked away.

    We went back to the stateroom. I attempted to get some work done.

    We were to have dinner with Dale, Jenni, Bill and Bobbi in Manfredi's but it was announced that the World Cafe was serving Vietnamese food so we opted to reschedule the dinner.
