We spent six days with Oliver and Meagan and our little grandson Noah who had just turned two. We fell in love with him even more. He knows us now and ran into our arms without any shyness and is the apple of our eye. He’s speaking in full sentences and has the delightful habit of saying ‘maybe not’ instead of no. He’s busy exploring his world and is the most cheerful little fellow.
We rented a car to drive Victoria airport very early in the morning to make the connecting flight in Vancouver with Korean Air. What an incredible airline. Tons of attendants to meet your every need. Three gorgeous meals either western or Korean. Lots of cool snacks like bananas and juice and drinks or ramen on demand. Pillows, blankets, slippers, great headphones and reclining seats. We messed up on booking seats because it was 48 hours before and not 28. Had middle section back seats but it was no problem. The seats still reclined and they made the isles on either side wider so nobody was holding onto your seat while waiting for washroom. Only hitch was we were a little late arriving in Seoul and they rushed us through security and we literally had to run to our gate which was at least a km. We were overdressed and hot but had no time to shed layers.
When we arrived in Hanoi it was chaotic. Philip’s bag didn’t arrive till the next day but they gave us some compensation. Outside our hotel had arranged a driver who was holding a sign with our name. After such a long travel day, nearly 24 hours, it was a relief to be met.
We loved our hotel immediately. It was in the middle of the old quarter but quiet.
