We arrived in Phu Quoc by plane from Ho Chi Minh City on November     18th and checked into a lovely small hotel called “Paris Beach Hotel”. It is located right on the beach and we managed to get a room for $38.00 US per night with free breakfast and wifi. After a short […]

We took a day trip from Hoi An to My Son by private car leaving at 6 am to be there by 7 am. It is extremely hot anytime later and we have heard that crowds of tourists show up by 9 am. It is located in a lush narrow valley with many springs flowing […]

Ho Chi Minh City (alias Saigon) Nov 15-18

November 21, 2015November 21, 2015 millerpp 2 Comments Places

November 15-18 We have spent a few days in the hustle bustle of Saigon now known officially as Ho Chi Minh City, although the locals often use the older name because it is easier to say. The flight from Danang was very short (an hour) and very comfortable. We have been getting in ins and […]

Here is all of my artwork as of December 25th. I often paint before going to bed and first thing in the morning.  I sometimes paint in the lobby or looking out of a window in our room. I have enjoyed teaching the hotel staff to draw on occasion. Typically people work from sun up […]

We took Hoi An private car to our next destination {Hoi An}.  On our way,  we stopped at a lovely place called Marble Mountain that is famous for their many marble carvings. According to a few people that we ran into, most of the marble is imported in order to preserve the mountain. There are […]

Danang: November 6-8

We left Hue by train to go to Danang on November 6. The rain let up for most of the trip and we had an amazing view of the coastline all the way. We understand that the Hue-to-Danang stretch of the rail line is the most scenic of the entire Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh City line. […]

Hue: Nov 1-5, 2015

November 14, 2015May 19, 2017 millerpp 3 Comments Places

We took a small bus from Phong Nha to Hue via TNT (Tan Nhat Travel). It was a fairly pleasant four hour trip, most of it through heavy rain. We booked a room at the Jade Hotel ($20/night including breakfast). It is a nice hotel, and to our great joy we found an Indian restaurant […]

Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park area: Oct 26-Nov 1, 2015

November 10, 2015May 19, 2017 millerpp 2 Comments Places

We stayed at Phong Nha Farmstay the first three nights, about $44/night including breakfast. They were fully booked on what would have been our fourth night so we needed to move somewhere else after three days. The place was very nice, great food, and located in a very rural area about 9 km outside of […]

Ninh Binh: Oct 19-25, 2015

November 5, 2015May 19, 2017 millerpp 7 Comments Places

We travelled from Cat Ba Island to Haiphong via bus/boat/bus, then a small bus/large van from Haiphong to Ninh Binh. The bus horn was set up to sound for about 4 seconds each time driver hit it, which was about every 4 seconds in Haiphong, somewhat less on the main road. This probably saved the […]
