Glad you enjoyed itThis one is for you @VPS
Thanks for the tip
Lovely coffee and cake today. Loved the Picasso Museum with a private guide and learnt even more about him. Did nor realise the Parisian Museum was established so that his family paid their death duties in paintings.
Depending what time.e you arrive SGN, no doubt you are aware how chaotic the formalities are - might be worth a fast track service - wish we had in July 9pm arrival @jase05So a slight alteration to our Vietnam plans.... and I’ve booked Cathay PVG-HKG-SGN to get us back to HCMC the day before we fly home
Yeah, we are at about 50/50 success rate at SGN but when it’s bad, it’s bad. I’m yet to work out a pattern for it either. We have allowed ourselves a full night before coming back into SGN but on the way over we only have 195 minutes between arriving in SGN and transferring to our domestic flight to PQC so I reckon I’ll go the Fastrack option there just in caseDepending what time.e you arrive SGN, no doubt you are aware how chaotic the formalities are - might be worth a fast track service - wish we had in July 9pm arrival @jase05

Especially now that the domestic terminal is a bus ride away @jase05Yeah, we are at about 50/50 success rate at SGN but when it’s bad, it’s bad....

The plans for this getaway have been tinkered with a bit since last update, but I can now confirm my leave is officially approved as of this morning.
Don't leave it too late, Vietnamese visas can be a bit of a PITA.T - 2 months to departure.
There have been some complications to our planning for this trip,. The most significant of which being MrsGM has recently lost her primary source of income.
Coming almost concurrently with the expensive and time consuming confirmation of our second child's autism diagnosis, and the ongoing cost of OT without NDIS support, we have been put quite significantly on the financial backfoot.
Nevertheless we've put to much time and too many dollars into this idea and we're not going to recoup it by backing out.
Today we've ticked off another couple important tasks. Booked a hotel in Singapore via Luxury Escapes to cover our O/N between flights, and locked in TI through Qantas for the entire trip.
By my calculations that leaves us with visas only to arrange and pay, which we have plenty of time to sort out now.
Never had one take more than 3-4 days but always do them about 2 weeks out just in caseDon't leave it too late, Vietnamese visas can be a bit of a PITA.
And add a few days either side to allow for last minute flight changes/delays or woe betide something crops up @GarrettM ( catastrophiser hat off now)Never had one take more than 3-4 days but always do them about 2 weeks out just in case
