DA NANG – After what seems like ages of lockdown, we’ve been itching to get out on the road again.

Hey… that’s our name, right?

Local travel is starting to open up again in Vietnam and airlines are offering some great deals on flights. So we decided to take a short trip.

With daytime temperatures hovering near 100 degrees F (37 C) during our stay, we didn’t do a lot of outdoor activities. But we did venture outside our beach-view apartment several times to check out some of the local sights.
