One lesson we've learned over the years is that we have to be flexible in our travel plans. Even after a year of planning things do sometimes go sideways. As is the case with our time here in Vietnam.
Our plans were to fly from Hanoi to Hue for a few days and then onto Da Nang for some golf. Mother Nature had other ideas. Torrential rains have hit central Vietnam (Hue & Da Nang) and this is following typhoons a few weeks ago.
The result:
The Imperial City is under water.
We spent a few hours last night cancelling hotels and flights. Then rebooking everything to head back to Chiang Mai Thailand. We spent 2 weeks in Chiang Mai last year and Sonja had a great time. Papa, not so much. Chiang Mai is where he drank the water and got ill. We're heading back so that Papa can enjoy this northern Thailand city.
We'll be there for 6 nights and fly from there to resume our original itinerary in Bangkok.
Like Woody Allen said, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him how well you've planned."
