Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

Just a day prior, we had been caught in the hustle and bustle of Saigon; dodging motorcycles, squeezing our way through markets, making our way past vendors touting their homemade cobra wine. Our senses were being assaulted at every turn. Fast forward a day and we find ourselves in total relaxation. It's no wonder soldiers used to come to China Beach for a little rest and relaxation. We stayed at a beautiful resort right on the beach, where we could sit by the infinity pool and stare at the ocean. From where we were sitting, we could watch fishermen pass in their basket boats, collecting jellyfish for their evening meal. As the day turned to evening, a calmness fell. It was a perfect respite from an otherwise fast paced trip.
