Our schedule in question

It appears that the devastation in Danang , Hoi An, and Hue is significant enough that a major change in our itineray may transpire. Nancy's planned event in DaNang has been cancelled since the hotel has experienced damage. The coastal areas were hit hard and the prospect for a drive to the areas I was located looks slim to none due to flooding and mudslides. We hear Hue is under water and to get to Dong Ha north of Hue where ClearPath is located would entail a possibly dangerous drive through a mountain pass that has been comprimised due to the typhoon...the worst in 46 years. So...time to get something to eat AND DRINK and discuss what our possibilities are. This is travel...to accept the unknowns and devise a new plan. Logistically a challenge now but we know we can at least stay in Saigon one more night if we need to.

Nancy had a fascinating day and even met a Vice Cosul from RI stationed here. He has warned us the travel now to the north may be troublesome...so as I sign off here at 0430 I have no idea what the next 24 hours will bring and where we will be. Carpe diem!
