Vietnam The Getting there.....

Pond & Garden inside Singapore

Playground is always a good option

Wanting for my Mums passing to be marked with something special, the girls & I decided to book ourselves a holiday in Vietnam......

I decided to be prepared as I was taking my first-time traveler daughters & my 2year old granddaughter, I didn't want to leave too much to chance so I organised as much as I possibly could before leaving, including travel visas which are required for Vietnam,  all accommodation, some tours & all transfers. I opted to fly at night so that Granddaughter Charlie Rose would hopefully sleep through the journey. 

After 7 hours in the air we changed planes for our connecting flight at the Singapore airport. For  those of you who have never been there Singapore airport is huge! You have to get an air train to get you from one terminal to another, however it is easy to navigate around. 

I had to laugh because when we landed & told Charlie we were in Singapore, she starting singing in the terminal...... "Singing Paw, Singing Paw...!!!" 

Stop over in 'Singing Paw' really not a problem!

It's just under a two hour flight from Singapore to Ho Chi Min. (or Saigon as he locals seem to prefer to call it)  

Getting through Saigon airport is easy, you don't even have to fill out an arrival card!  As expected Buffalo Tours were waiting for us to take us to our hotel. We have used Buffalo Tours once before & cannot fault them. 

We were lucky with the weather as they had a typhoon just finish the day before our arrival. 

Time to get settled & let the exploring begin...... Translated - lets go find shoes & handbags......!!!
