Mike's sister Karen and her friend Joe met us in Hanoi for our last 10 days in Vietnam. We had so much fun with them. We spent a few days checking out Hanoi and then traveled to Cat Ba Island which is the best place to explore Halong Bay. Beautiful Karst islands. We took a boat tour on the bay and were able to explore caves and do some kayaking and hiking. The weather was a little gray and drizzly but very cool. We're at the Hanoi airport right now waiting to take off for Vientiane, Laos where we expect it to be very hot and humid so the cool weather was welcome.
