I would get sick my last days on vacation. The night we left Nha Trang I somehow caught the Plague. Fever, shakes, sweating, nausea, the whole shebang. Don't worry, the sleeping bus was extra luxurious...NOT. A sleeping bus just has a bunch of little compartments way too small for anyone to cram themselves into. Not to mention we were at the back of the bus so it was a very bouncy ride.
Needless to say, my last day in Saigon was kind of a drag. I couldn't leave the hotel room. I couldn't even stand up for 5 minutes without feeling like I was gonna pass out. Even today, I left the room just long enough to get my last minute souvenirs and I still almost passed out in an intersection. Its great to travel sick...
The flight from Saigon was also horrible. With every foot we gained in altitude, my headache got worse. Oh by the way, I have a 15 hour layover in Hong Kong. If there is anywhere I don't want to spend more time, its in Hong Kong. I asked the Cathay Pacific lady if there was a hotel nearby that could stay at (it was about 11pm when I landed). She gave me a flier for the airport pay-lounge. I had to pay the rest of my trip spending money (950 HKD) and STILL had to put 114 HKD on my credit card. For what? A special one night deal. I can use the sitting area, get food and drinks, use the internet, AND I get my very own sleeping cubicle for 6 hours. Ooooh boy. Here I thought I was going to come back to Korea and be able to have extra money...nope. I had to use it all and then some.
I just want to be back in Yeosu in my own bed.
sorry 2 hear you were sick. was it something you ate? anyways, safe travels back to Korea
