Awful Flight to Ho Shi Min City
Hey there,
I was unable to post any earlier as we had such an awful flight from Moscow that it really took us quite a while to recover. The point is that we were supposed to take off on December 26 but appolling weather conditions prevented us from this. It was a kind of snowy rain or blizzard that resulted in devastating almost all our airports. Domodedovo airport was cut off electricity, Sheremetievo was stopped for the reasons of black ice on runways and the only airport that remained alive was Vnukovo. Our flight landed there, although it was supposed to do so at Domodedovo and this saved our New Year holiday. We were delayed by 15 hours but eventually took off from Vnukovo and 10 hours later arrived to Ho Shi Min city at 11:30pm. There we stayed at the hotel and at 7am left for Nha Trang by the local aircraft. You can imagine how tired we were at the end. But this is nothing compared with the situation in which thousands of Russian passangers got. I mean those who tried to fly to their destinations from Domodedovo and Sheremetievo. Many of them are still there with their lagguage lost or misdirected. So, our arrival here could have been much worse. Thanks God we managed to avoid such an ordeal.
Well, here in 'Vinpearl' everything is first class, as usual. We'll be celebrating the New Year tomorrow with other guests here. Most of them are Russians with kids. Our room is splendid as it overlooks the sea. I swim every day, though the sun is not shining. Vietnam in December is often like this. Sending you our love and hugs... Happy New Year 2011!!!
P.S. I've just posted some photos made here via posterous as I'm unable to reduce size on this computer.
