Goodbye Saigon, Hello Hanoi.

Well, we are in Hanoi now. Our trip here was fine, except for two little problems...a 5 hour flight delay and one baby related "incident". The first problem was no biggie after all because we had such a nice lounge to wait in for our flight. But the second problem, well...

We thought we had everything timed just right for Sabian-diaper change, bottles and napping. As soon as we got on the plane and began to taxi for take off, Sabian decided to have diarrhea. We were stuck in our seats until after take off! The flight attendant was very nice, offering to help change him and even bringing paper towels to help contain the mess. Thank heavens nothing got on his clothes! We felt bad involving her so we waited until we were in the air. Then, we ran him to the front restroom where the flight attendant was waiting with the changing table in place. We got him cleaned up and the rest of the flight was fine. We even saw some sort of circular rainbow sun spot in the clouds that was pretty cool. ...but after a day of waiting on our flight and packing/unpacking, we were completely bushed last night and even today. We'll write more about our hotel here in Hanoi later, but we must go down for our naps now. When Sabian sleeps, so do we!!!!

Sabians first plane, it's a big one.


In the lounge waiting.



This is a very nice business class lounge at the Ho Chi Minh airport.


They had a buffet, drinks and Internet.


We found a spot near the fish tank which he loved!



He kept trying to grab the fish as they swam by.







We carved out a nice little area in the lounge.

Now you know why he is upset, we were about to find out.
