Da plane boss...da plane!

No pictures again today...something like 180mm of rain while we were in Hue...that's just 2 days folks!  Anyway, we decided to get outta Dodge...heading for Hanoi by plane.  That failed when they closed the airport...cancelled our flight.  The weather forecast says rain for 40 days and 40 nights...that sounded way too familiar!  We got a cab to the train station, and got a sleeper, overnight to Hanoi...well, Cassandra did...I wanted to go to the bar!  We got a "Hard Sleeper"
(yes, Cassandra and Johnny!)...that means there's no real mattress...just sort of a cotton covered mat.  NO PROBLEMO!  We carry backpackers air mattresses(see the yellow thing under Cassandra and Johnny)...roll up into a little tootsie roll kind of thing...we brought them because the beds are sooo hard over here.  Well now, Mr. Corona isn't used to blowing anything but birthday candles...and there's too many of those these days, so those days are gone!  Amigos, I gladly blow my little air mattress...with a little help from my new buddy... Johnny Walker! So we're on an ancient train, fueled by Johnny, rocketing through the Vietnamese countryside... did I mention fueled by MY NEW BUDDY JOHNNY F'n WALKER...am I at the rodeo?...the train is buckin' like a...Cassandra sez I can't say that...hmmmmmmmm...ok, a Saigon Ho on meth and steroids!  MR. CORONA WINS!!!! ...ummmmmm...feelin' kinda strange...I think I know what the bucket is for under the birth...this is like being inside a paint shaker...the people on either side of us seem to be hosting their own NFL game...so I'm a little crabby...I GOT 47 SECONDS OF SLEEP LAST NIGHT! When I wasn't doing the shake, rattle, and roll...I was off peeing...ya, seems simple enough doesn't it...try spitting through the eye of a needle!  I had to take a pic because I know you would think I was exaggerating!
Just try to hit that little hole when yer half in the bag, and inside a running paint shaker...HA!!!  The next time you are on the road and pull off into one of the rest stop places, and the bathroom looks like someone blew up...NO, they blew up in Vietnam FIRST!...and worse, THEY DID IT ON THE TRAIN, AND IN THE TRAIN STATION!  Oh, and another thing...ya know that guy that invented the Kazoo...well, he went on to sell the Vietnamese PA systems for the whole country!
