Hepatitis, Malaria and Typhoid, Oh My!


If you can't read the invitation it's because it's in Vietnamese... for a wedding in Vietnam... which Pete is going to. He's going with his mom who is related to the bride and is close friends with the family of the groom. His mom hasn't been back to Vietnam since she moved here over 35 years ago so it's going to be quite an experience for both them. They will be gone for three weeks (no, that is not typo) to attend the wedding and to travel throughout the country visiting family. Pete doesn't speak Vietnamese but he has traveled a lot and he can sleep anywhere and is willing to eat anything. He leaves right after Easter so for now he is busy getting ready which includes visiting the travel doctor and getting shots and taking pills. They also bought a water purifier so hopefully they can avoid any illnesses while they are there and just enjoy this once in a lifetime trip.

Apparently the wedding is at 4 a.m. (still not a typo). Apparently that is the hour at which one gets married in Vietnam. We finally bought a new camera and we also bought a camcorder so that Pete can capture all of the amazing sites.

  1. The trip of a lifetime, for sure! Wishing Pete and his mom safe travels, and we can't wait to see snapshots and hear stories of their adventures.
