We have arrived at Binh Chau, Ho Coc. This is a ecotourist resort that is amazing!!!! This is our little bungalow!

We did a mud bath! This resort sits on hot springs with theraputic mud! We sat in a giant tub of really hot water, got out smeared our selves with the "mud" and baked in the sun. Then we got back in the fiant tub to rinse off! We had such a blast!!

This place is beautiful. The gardens are amazing. There are acres and acres of green space and gardens, a far cry from all of the other places we have been!
The entire team has arrived at the resort. This is our last day and night all together. we are having a big cook out tonight as a farewell. Everyone will go their seperate ways tomorrow. Maya and I will be heading to Saigon for 1 and a half more days. We plan to shop, shop, shop!!!! Afew other families are heading there as well. We leave Vietnam at 10 pm Wednesday night. We fly to Singapore and have a 12 hour lay over, then we ly straight from Singapore to Newark, 22 hours on the plane non-stop!!! While we are in Singapore we will get a Transit hotel room in the airport. In the moring we will take a 2 hour tour of Singapore and then head back to the airport. We should arrive in Newark at about 6 pm!
We will be glad to get home, but sad to say good-bye to so many new friends! This has been a fabulous experience! We have seen sooooooo much and really experienced Vietnam in a way we never could have on our own!!!!
