We're in Hanoi now. Bennett did great on the flight. He only fussed when we landed and that's because he was asleep. We were thrilled. Hopefully he does well on the flights home.
The Somerset is great. Nice little apartment. Wonderful to have a couch to sit on instead of a bed. Of course the minute we entered Chris and I started moving everything around. The kitchen chairs are in the second bedroom. Bennett took one look at those and thought they would be great to climb on. Last thing we need at this point is a trip to the emergency room. And who in the world thought it would be great idea to put switches for the outlets on the floor. Bennett made a bee line for those. Basically we've shut every door in here to keep him out of everything. He's such a little stinker.
Room service was wonderful tonight but we were so hungry and tired I think we would have both ate a roll of paper towels. We also hit the little grocery store that is on the first floor now that we have a fridge.
Tomorrow our paperwork is submitted to the US Embassy. We are hoping for a Wednesday appointment so we can try and get out of here on Thursday. We're ready to come home. We have loved our time in Vietnam but just need to get on some sort of normal schedule.
I'll post pictures tomorrow. Too tired to dig the camera out tonight.
And I have to wish my friend Rachael a Happy Birthday. Can't wait for you to meet Bennett. Hope you have a great birthday!!!

Glad you're in Hanoi. One last little bit of stuff and then you'll be headed home. It's a whirlwind trip and by the time you get to Hanoi, you're so ready to go home.
I suppose we'll forgive you for not posting pictures. But...you know...that means you have to post double tomorrow. :)
So glad to here you are in Hanoi now and things are progressing.
The apartment is nice....but not very child proof as you say. Watch out for the very hot,scalding water in the kitchen too!
I know you are ready to get home.Hoping you'll have your appt quick and be on that plane soon.

Funny that you are toddler-proofing already! I remember having a "melt down" over the windows...no screens...and a little latch...I made John Booth tie them all shut because I was terrified that WB would try to open one and fall out.
Enjoy the Somerset. We LOVED having the w/d in the kitchen and decent TV.
Can't wait for more pictures!!
Julie,
You are too funny, half way around the world and you wish me a happy birthday!
Sounds like everything is going well, and that Bennett is going to keep you two on your toes!
Enjoy the warm weather while you can.
Happy 13th Anniversary! Couldn't think of a better way to celebrate!
Obviously if I'm going to be watching the little munchkin I need to rechildproof my house! Drew has long since taken all that stuff apart. =P
If you could bottle up a bit of that warm weather while you're there that would be great! It's freezing here!!
