Hi Bob,
Best wishes to you for the holidays. Thank you for our Saigon Kids™ newsletter.
I am writing to let you and other Saigon Kids™ know that I spent Christmas in Hoi An, a UNESCO World Heritage Centre. When my family lived in Saigon from 1959-1961, we were not allowed to visit there. Fortunately, the war did not destroy the old city and port, although nearby Danang suffered a somber fate.
Maybe I will finally see Hue too.

Hoi An is a wonderful place! We spent a few days there last summer. Stayed on the beach, but wandered around the charming old town and across the ancient bridge. Highly recommend it.
