Story of Sapa.

I wanted only to go to Sapa in the mountains of northern vietnam. I tried for hours in Saigon calling and emailing to get a train ticket but they were always full. But when I came to Ha Noi I came directly from the airport and spent a couple hours trying to find the tickets. At my last ditch effort, I got what I wanted. Its saturday morning 09 aug 08 and In just few minutes i will be on a boat in Ha Long bay. Im really excitied. I want to swim, lay on the boat, and sleep in my room on a near by island.
