Arriving in Saigon

32 hours door-to-door from SF to the Park Hyatt Saigon. Not as bad as it might seem because at least 8 of those were sleep and 5 were a layover in Singapore. Managed to squeeze most of a fantasy football draft in at 6:00 during a 90 min stop in HKG on the way.

Singapore Airlines is pretty good. Decent drinks selection and the food ranged from pretty good (glutenous rice with shrimp, chicken, and chili HKG-SIN and indian for breakfast SFO-HKG) to very meh (chicken and rice for dinner SFO-HKG). Completely worth the $50 for an exit row seat SFO-HKG-SIN, although it is next to the four middle seats that have bassinets on the bulkhead and that means screaming babies on and off for 13 hours.

The Park Hyatt is everything that a hotel should be. Over-the-top service, fantastic beds, quiet, great food at the restaurants, free wifi with good connectivity, 42" flat screens, ESPN Vietnam.
