Vietnam Trip 2023 - Da Lat Days

On Friday (3/10), we arrived at Da Lat and went to our hotel Mai Xanh. Got rental bikes and went to Banh Can Hieu. We visited Hagrid's house, an ice cave, the shire and drank nuoc Mia at Fresh Dalat Gardens. We walked across rope bridges, saw horses and searched for koalas in the native village at La Cu Lan. They apparently let the koalas loose. Had lunch at Nem Nuong Ba Hung. We went sightseeing at the sunflower building in Da Lat and bought dried fruit at Cho Dem. Then met up with friends Dung and her husband at Lau Ga La E and Banh Trang Be Lun. 

Met Khoa & Phuong Saturday (3/11) morning and went to eat Quan Hen Banh Uot Long Ga. Took pictures at Cho Da Lat and had drinks at Binh Minh Oi. There was some biking event on the way home that halted all traffic. Then took Vy to the Opera House so she could take pictures with the dogs. Visited Mai Anh church, got gifts at Cho Dem, then picked strawberries at the Vuon Dau Nhat. Ended the day with hot pot at Quan Din Lau Bo Ba Toa and dessert at Kem Thanh Thao. 

Went to Sunday (3/12) mass at Mai Anh church in Dalat. Got sweaters at the gift shop. Then we ate at Bun Thai Hai San Hong. Got a microUSB cable then got on a limo van to Cam Ranh. We ate noodles and I got a big bottle of 7Up.

Miami, Florida Trip 2022

On 8/3, Octavius the Uber’d us to the airport. This one family cut us in the security check line. We got our rental car from Ace. We took some pics behind FTX Arena then had lunch at Pho 79. Thao closed her account at Citibank. Shopped for ramen at Asian Market. Checked into our AirBnB and napped. We shopped at Publix. Visited Lummus Park and swam at South Beach. Ate Ramen before bed. 

We had eggs and sausage for breakfast on 8/4  then drove to Bayside Marketplace. We got on the cruise ship at 11:30 to see the celebrity mansions. We got a pina colada onboard. Then we had Chili’s. Our waitress Erica ignored us and was very slow! We bought some items at Publix then rested back at our AirBnB. We hid our wallets in the coffee container. Thao’s dad told stories of people they know hiding precious items in odd places. We were going to swim at Eden Roc but the beach was dirty so we went to South Beach. We spent $40 on parking. Then we had instant pho. Thao’s parents told the story of how they met. We prayed then went to Walmart. A creepy woman snuck up to our car! 

We had eggs with stir fry cauliflower for breakfast on Friday (8/5). Then we drove an hour to Vuon Trai Cay Trinh but they were on vacation so we went to Uyen Fruits for Guava and Sugar Apples. We ran into another family from Texas! The Fairchild Gardens looked closed so we ignored it and went home. While Ba Ma stayed in the AirBnB, Thảo and I went to Trader Joe’s and Target. We hung out in midtown Miami and ate at Thai Express. Ba Ma and us went around the neighborhood taking picture until it stopped raining. We returned to the Bayside Marketplace to go on the Ferris Wheel. I ran back to get Ba’s phone and shared my location with Thảo. Nearly got into a car accident! We went back to midtown and had a delicious meal at Crab Du Jour. 

I’m amazed we finished all the groceries from the week this morning (8/6). We checked out of the AirBnB around 10:30 and walked around Maurice A. Ferre Park next to the Frost Museum of Science. The aquarium and all the exhibits at the museum itself was underwhelming. Ba Ma stayed on the 5th floor while Thảo and I explored. We chilled at the Gulf Stream Oculus until the boring Liam Neeson documentary at the Planetarium. Shell was so busy that we filled up across the street. Thao is an expert in bringing down the weight of our luggage. We drank so much water! The plane had to return to the gate for a medical emergency. Our Uber driver had Cane’s boxes all over the floor. 

Went to mass at La Vang on (8/7). One man was so mad about people recording the fruit sellers. We ate at Bang Cuon Hoa then rested at Thao’s house. We dropped some stuff off and had some exercise at the new house, returned a Lancôme box to Macys then had rice brick at my parents’ house. Then the four of us visited the new house to fix the garage (which is just dirty) then my parents had a talk with Thao’s about Ma going to Indiana to help Lyn with her new shop.
