Preparing for Vietnam!

June 22nd, 2009 by Danielle Faletra

Well here I am with only 5 days left before I start my 2.5 days of flying to Vietnam!  I have to admit, I am no where near done preparing and packing but at least I have done all the essentials and paperwork.  I’ll make it there I swear!
 
I am so excited to get over there, just hope I can make some kind of difference in the short 2 month period I am staying!
