A weekend cruising in the Halong Bay

Had another amazing weekend with Bridget and JR. Brian and Mary joined us too. We went to Vietnam for the weekend and spent the weekend on the Halong Bay on a junk boat. It was awesome! The ship had another group of Americans and  us. We enjoyed the beautiful Halong Bay. Hiked an island, swam in the Bay as much as possible, enjoyed visiting the floating village, hiked through a cave, kayaked to a beach, and enjoyed UNO on the sun deck. Such a great trip! The people and food were wonderful and also the views. Vietnam continues to be a favorite. Here are some pictures from the trip:
