Passport & immigration visa arrived this morning!! Great news for us. We went to Cathay to try to change our flights to Friday, but no luck, so we are arriving Saturday night. Still haven't been able to get a bassinet or exit row seating, but at least we have flights!
Spent the morning at the Ben Thanh market while Brett went to Cathay Pacific. It's a huge indoor market with everything from flowers to food to Vietnamese souvenirs to designer "Gucci" bags & watches (for cheap of course!). Thought dad would like the size of the shrimp in this picture! Maiya is modeling her new cone hat and seems to like it - we'll see if it makes it back in one piece though! We got a beautiful instrument with mother-of-pearl inlay - it's too big for our suitcase though, so may have to juggle it as a carry-on! It will be a nice addition to my instrument collection from my travels (and now Brett's & Maiya's travels too of course!). Still have a few things to pick up tomorrow as well as a bit of sightseeing perhaps, then the joy of trying to pack everything up!
Maiya continues to do well. Gave us a full night's sleep last night which was great! Brett was in a much better mood after sleeping without any late night interruptions! She's taking longer naps in the day too, which is also good. Hopefully she'll sleep for a good part of the flight, especially if we're in a tight space, as she usually likes to move around & be entertained a lot! She's been enjoying the music on American Idol, as we get a couple of English channels on the TV. She seems to like music (or maybe it's the flashing lights....)!
Not much else today - hung out by the pool and cooled off as it was especially hot & humid here today. Hope the weather's good back home too!

Dad would love a plate of those shrimp! I love the hat - she is adorable. Will confirm the pick up arrangements with Breydon and Ron's tonight - everything looks good. Weather is nice too...so hope you have a good flight and will see you all soon:)
