Still Waiting on Travel Dates

Well, it is early August and we are still waiting for travel dates. When we got our referral we were told more than likely Sept. looks like maybe sometime this month. The wait is hoprrific. We teach school so being out and waiting makes it worse, nothing to keep your mind off of it!. Our agency director left for Vietnam this past weekend for a visit so hopefully good news will come from that.

On a positive note our agency has been great with updates and pics of our little girl. We have essentially gotten a set of pics of her for each month so we are able to see how she has grown. In addition we were lucky enough to get a video of her. That helps with the wait but is not a substitute. We are waiting to post pics until after the trip(sort of being superstitious).

More when we go and once we are in Vietnam we will try and update throughout the trip.

We have been researching airfare as well. Loads of options and we think we may stop over in HongKong or Taipei for a couple of days prior to time to be in Vietnam. Have friends from college in both places. No idea on which airline yet but looking at Cathay Pacific, China Air and EVA. Any input would be appreciated!

More when we know more.

Thanks for the update, I cannot imagine how hard the wait is once you actually get a referral and wait for travel, but I am sure it is nuts! Praying that your travel is soon.

I'm an assistant teacher, and was so hoping the summer would be quick so I would have work again to distract me!

BTW I have heard good things about Cathay, and EVA (Evergreen deluxe), also Thai Airways...

Yep having the summer off has been tough. I just wait and wait. At least when you work it passes by without you thinking about it all the time!LOL

Will let you know more on our airline choice when I know but I have heard good things about all of those as well.

When we went in May we went on Thai, they are good. I have heard good things about Cathay and Eva as well. Good luck and speedy travel to you.
