Going down to Vietnam, gonna have myself a time!
Ana, be sure to let us know how your trip goes, what kind of food you ate, as well as any other details you think are fit to print.
I am hoping to someday put together an anti-war anthology. When I was getting my MFA in Creative Writing, I put together an Introduction and story list with descriptions of each story, several of them were from the point of view of the Vietnamese soldier. At that time, I discovered that THEY called the Viet Nam War, the “American War.” Makes sense once you think about it.
Anyway, I hope every part of your trip is great!
Peace, love & harmony,
Sherrie

By the time you read this here stream of consciousness, I will be on a plane or perhaps already in the exotic far-away lands. Vietnam feels like an odd choice for our pre-honeymoon, at least for me – having spent half of my life in the Soviet Union, and the other half in the US, I’m used to the stories about Vietnam being all about “smell of napalm in the morning” and “Charlies in the trees”. That was half a century ago, though, so things have changed – I’m going to spend two-and-a-half weeks in the lap of luxury, eating awesome cheap food and getting awesome cheap massages.
I’m hoping for an easy trip with aghm, a very budget airline…and that I don’t freak out the way I sometimes do, when it suddenly occurs to me just how ridiculous it is to be hurtling through the air in a sardine can…
