Back from Halong Bay, Goodbye Vietnam, Hello China

Just got back from 3 days, 2 nights cruising in Halong Bay (about 100 miles east of Hanoi).  There was no Interent service on the boat and thus we were out of touch with you and the world.  On board our junk were 10 Germans, 4 Russians, 3 guides, us and the crew.  We'll send pictures from it and an update on China when we have Internet service in China, hopefully Thursday night or sometime on Friday.  We leave Vietnam real early tomorrow (Thursday) morning to finally get to China.  We've been talking about this for so long that we're glad to be one step away.  We know we'll be met by Professor Zhong and we have "two rooms" to live in.
