Thanks for all the comments, fellas. We are absolutely loving it here. Phong Nha was really special. We arrived to Ninh Binh Trang An a few days ago. Another epic slice of beauty in this place!!
Our favorite dog friend. He led us on a hike around the countryside and chilled with us while around our homestay.
Some of my fave shots from the area:

We’ve been in Vietnam a little over two weeks at this point. We landed in Da Nang way back at the beginning of this trip. At the end of the Da Nang leg we wanted to ride over the Hai Van Pass by motorbike. We found a place to rent the bikes, jumped in the Grab car and headed to start our moto journey. When we arrived to the bike rental place we jumped out super excited. Once inside we started filling out the paperwork for the bike and the horrific realization came crashing down on me…my cherished 33B had been left in the car, which had already left!!
This was my very first IH piece and had traveled all over the world with me ever since. My heart sank and a crushing feeling of sadness flooded over me. My shirt just drove off in the back of the car into the chaotic city of Vietnam. I literally almost started crying.
Morgan tried calling the Grab company to connect with the driver. The features on the app weren’t working. Our bike was ready and we had to leave asap. I was once so excited for this part of the trip and now I was just pissed at myself for not double checking the seat before we got out.
The owner of the rental company said he would try and get ahold of the company and asked what time we’d be back. Sadly I said, we won’t be back. We are moving on to another city.
Fast forward two weeks and we arrived to Hanoi at the end of our trip. So many wonderful things had happened and the people of this country have treated us like royalty. But I was still carrying around the feeling of sadness and loss from my 33B. We arrived to our final hotel of the trip and upon checking in this is waiting for me….
I couldn’t freaking believe it!!! The owner of the rental company had tracked down the driver and recovered my shirt!!! He sent it to my hotel for me and when I arrived….BOOM!!!
He saw how distraught I was and I conveyed how special this shirt was to me and he made sure I got it back!!! I freaking LOVE the people of this country!!!

@Mizmazzle great story. I wonder what comes next: shirt monogamy or locking up the 33B so it can never escape again?

@Mizmazzle what a story and adds another incredible memory to this trip. Thanks for letting us travel with you guys!
-
@Mizmazzle amazing. A less cool version of this happened to my treasured belt from @seawolf many years ago when I left it at airport security in Minneapolis and thankfully was able to later retrieve from lost and found. And then there are the items that I wasn’t so lucky about. I try to forget about those.
-
Glad to hear Vietnam has treated you so well!
Now, I remember you talking about getting a tattoo … any updates?
-
@Mizmazzle Great story and ending.
