Okay...this is Teri. I feel I need to defend myself since Mommy Melissa disclosed my blowing the hotel fuse. After dinner we stopped by the lobby receptionist and inquired about an adaptor for our computer(we remembered from the last place they sometimes provide them) Well, embarrassingly the non English speaking Vietnamese hostess smiled and said "room 302?" yep, they already know us and our room by sight...guess when you blow fusses within 10 minutes of your stay you get a reputation. So she sent "house keeping" up to "help us" AGAIN. Now, keep in mind the whole reason I(we) blew a fuse was because Mommy Melissa could not get her computer plugged in and she said the outlets did not accept her adaptor....so I was simply trying to find an outlet which worked(so many holes, so little time) which resulted in total power loss and "house keeping" had to come open a hatch in the ceiling to set it back. So once again, "house keeping" came to the room. Smiling at us with that sweet "bless your heart" sort of smile we use in the states to mean"you stupid idiot" and promptly, effortlessly put the computer chord in a very obvious outlet designed to fit numerous plugs. Knowing cracking up at ourselves may be misconstrued as laughing at her, we had to stifle our laughter for what seemed an eternity until the door closed behind our new best friend, the "house Keeping" lady. Yep, 9 days in Ho Chi Minh and no incidents...less than one day in Hanoi and they are probably ready to send us home :) Love ya! Teri
