Travel Tips for Vietnam


There are millions maybe of travel blogs and vlogs with lots of information for travelers for anywhere in the world you wish to go. I am not a travel blog although I share my travels here. These opinions and tips are from a lady who is lucky enough to go someplace very special one or two times a year.

Today I have a couple tips for traveling in Vietnam. 

The first one is of a personal nature, and I also found this on our tour company's website. It is this: stock up on travel packets of tissues and hand sanitizer that easily fit in your purse or backpack. You may and we did a couple times, find yourself in a restroom that has no toilet paper and if they don't have that then they don't have paper towels for drying your hands either. 

My second tip is to buy a couple fans from a street vendor. I did and when you find yourself in a very warm crowded market or anywhere on a warm day a bit of fresh breeze you can do for yourself can make it more comfortable. We bought two and I am glad we did. Jim was not a fan of them like I was, so I found myself with one to share with someone who was struggling with the heat and needed some water and to cool off a bit more than once. I was happy to be able to help.


Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!

Summertime

To me the best part of summer is the long evenings. The light fades gently and the heat of the day begins to fade. The activities that keep you busy during the day slow down. The perfect way to spend the warm end of day for me would be on a big front porch with a cool drink watching fireflies come out and children playing. Of course I don't live in a place where that happens but maybe I will some day. When I do I will need one of these beautiful fans to help cool me off. One of them is handmade and the other vintage and both are available on Artfire.

The fan above is from the shop Vintage Intent.
I remember getting fans like this when I was a kid.
The paper always seemed to tear after a few uses.
It is amazing to me that it is all in one piece.

The fan below is from Southern Charm Soap Company.
I love the colors in this piece.
The tassel with the charms is a lovely way to complete the fan.
