Well we aren't on the flight we thought we would be on and we are paying a little bit more but we have our tickets!!! We are flying with Cathay Pacific which is a really nice airline.
We leave Vancouver International Airport on June 15th at 2:45a.m. <---This is actually a really good thing. The flight we had thought we might catch was going to leave at noon which meant either coming over on the 5:45 a.m. ferry or coming over the night before. This way we can catch an afternoon ferry and meander our way to the airport.
We arrive at Hong Kong 13 hours and 10 minutes later. We will have a two hour stop-over which is perfect. The flight we thought we would be catching had a nearly seven hour long stop over.
We then leave Hong Kong and arrive at Ho Chi Minh City around 10:20 a.m. which is not so ideal. The other flight came in at 10:45 p.m. which meant Valerie could come and get us. At 10:20 in the morning she will be at work. This isn't a really big problem, I can get directions from Valerie that will get us to where we need to be. There are 2 or 3 really well regarded taxi companies in Ho Chi Minh City and several not-so-well regarded companies, it is just a matter of getting the right company names from Valerie.
We both bought health insurance. We are now just waiting on our visa paperwork from the school.
Phew! I can't tell you what a relief it is to know this is taken care of now.
