I had problems with loading the images in original post, so I hope I can get this to work.
Ah hah! I just saw the setting on my SmugMug gallery about linking to forums. So, hopefully this is ready to go! :thumb

My wife, Christina and I, together with old friend, Todd visited Vietnam for two weeks during Dec/Jan. We had a wonderful time and are definitely coming back for more!!

    Wow, these bring back some memories of long ago. I was in Phu Bai (South of Hue) in 1966 and 1967. I was in Hue several times during better times. It WAS a beautiful city at one time. Thanks for the memories. Great photos.

    Thanks, Jester.

    My wife was originally from Vietnam. It was her first time back since her family escaped on a boat, in the middle of the night, leaving everything behind. So, the trip was an emotional home-coming for Christina, whereas I was a bit more detached from it all.

    We had a wonderful time, though and fell in love with Vietnam. The country is beautiful, still relatively untouched by tourism/development, and everyone we encountered were so warm and friendly. We hope to be back before too long.
