We arrived Friday and we are having a fabulous time, our phones lit up Saturday evening as you can imagine but it doesn’t bother us at all.
A few observations so far,
Give yourself more time at the airport, there are heavy queues
Definitely get your bar code before you arrive, I would say 90% of our flight ( which was full ) had not got it. Whilst they were held back until completion we breezed through
We are finding the restaurants and bars very busy ( San An ), you will need a reservation, they are turning people away
The beaches are extremely clean and they are spraying the walkways. The water is a beautiful blue colour and warm
There are Villa parties ...
We are finding the mask law very easy to comply with, just use the cheap thin ones as it’s to hot for the cloth ones
It’s nice not seeing the dark side of the island in your face, those women who scam the newbies for a bracelet in San An for an example are not here
There are a lot of police checks, my friend runs a chauffeur business and was stopped 3 times Saturday and avoided a lot more. However I am finding their presence on the ground very inconspicuous
It’s very very hot ...
