Last Day

We left Da Nang in the morning to get to Ho Chi Minh, everything went smoothly. (Here more information about the flight for Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh). As we were landing, Alexis prepared himself for his interview. It was a stressful process to pass an interview through webcam but he did an amazing job (and also got the job hehehe)

For our last day of our trip we decided to go shopping in a huge market. And for once we were not hunted by the fact that we would have to transport everything for a long period so we bought a few things! I treated myself with a new purse, the old one was in a pretty bad shape. Alexis also got a bag and we bought a vietnamiens tea set. We have a small collection of tea set so why not one more… After one last Pho it was time to leave vietnam and to begging the next step in our lives back home.

But first we need to get home! This time it was an 24h trip, we had 3 flight and pass through Korea and the United State. We left Ho Chi Minh early in the morning, surprisingly there was a pretty long queue at the counter. A lot of people seems to travel with a lot of package like if they were bringing back stuff to sell. We took some extra steps for the two first flight and reserved seat with extra leg room for alexis. All the flight went very well (here’s the details about the flights), the first one we event get smoked salmon during the meal. I got to say, Qatar airway was nice but Delta wasn’t far behind. After the first one we landed in korea and met a pretty nice robot. Yes, Robot, he was roaming the airport and take picture with tourist. After a quick meal and 4 hours of wait we were back in a plan to Minneapolis

Once we landed in the USA we went through immigration in the line we learned the amazing news that alexis got the job he passed an interview for. Side immigration story, a woman decided that it was a good idea to skip the line, go under the rope and skip the scanning. So as you can guess, that wasn’t a good idea and a butch of us custom officer started yelling at the lady and they froze the entire custom until the women was controlled. So she tried to skip waiting and lines and she probably go stock over there for a few hours… Don’t go under the ropes at airport… it won’t be shorter.

Once we got to our gate we start receiving a lot of message from friends in canada asking if our flight was delayed and if we were going to be able to get back to night. We king of didn’t understand. The flight was not delayed and the weather seem fine until they send us picture of the weather in Montréal…. So they had a pretty bad storm and part of the province lost electricity for days! A few minutes later we received a series a picture of tree that had fled of in the street in Alexis hometown…. We made a few call and my parents where we were going still had electricity and the flight wasn’t delay so we were able to get back home that night with no problem.

Around midnight we finally landed in Montréal, back home at last. But that’s not the end of our trip yet, we still had to get to my parents house. So first we went to pick up our car that was park at my grandparents house 30 minutes away from the airport. Then we headed for my parents house. Of course as good canadien we stopped on the way for some Tim horton…. Well, actually we stopped 3 times, not because we needed a indecent amount of coffee but just because the first 2 place didn’t had electricity…. 3h later we were at my parents house. A quick shower (god i missed Canadian warm water stability) we were in our own bed! Well actually more like mattress but still that was an incredible feeling. We never fell asleep that fast.
