What a difference a generation makes: I'm excited for my son to go to Vietnam!

Ross leaves this Saturday for three weeks in Vietnam with his Society and Culture class. 25 students will travel to Singapore and then on to Hanoi. They'll train to Sapa and then Mai Chau. They'll see the beaches at Sam Son, then to Danang. They come home via Singapore, spending two days there.

They'll do tai chi in the parks at 6 a.m., ride rickety bikes through the cities, attend cooking school, visit holy places, trek through rice fields and do a home stay.

He's taking his Malaria tablets and has had the appropriate shots (gulp). Camera and bug repellent, check. Money belt and toothbrush, check.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when this trip takes place. I'll wait to see the photos (fit for Mom) when he returns!
