The Vietnam Visa Vortex

I’ve been trying to obtain a visa so I can go to Vietnam next month. The Vietnam visa website’s facial software says Passport Me only looks 41.9% like New Me and I’m staggeringly depressed about it.

It is not an exaggeration to tell you I’ve uploaded dozens of New Me photos and I keep being told (pardon me because I don’t speak Vietnamese)—Nah, you ugly.

Depending on that visa, in a few weeks The Husband and I, along with a squadron of friends from Arizona, are heading to Vietnam and Cambodia. By agreeing to travel with me they have each implicitly agreed to allow me to trash feature them in my upcoming blog posts.

We’re traveling by boat again. I hate boats. I don’t love people. I especially have a low tolerance for people on boats so, fingers crossed on that visa.

Captain (Matt for those who didn’t follow my Egypt posts) has challenged me to a “blog off” this trip. I’m feeling pretty good about my chances (most visitors = winner) since I’m in some kind of bot maelstrom and am currently trending in Singapore.

Sigh. Still no one from Antarctica.

So follow me during the coming weeks and follow Captain, too! I’ll tell you all the cruise gossip and he’ll actually write about these beautiful countries.

P.s. Guess what I got today?

  1. I am also getting a lot of hits from Singapore. I am thinking they may be bots using my site to ping off of. Who knows in today’s world. Too bad we can’t get a percentage.

    Does anyone our age look good in a headshot? I sincerely doubt it. Ignore the pics, enjoy the trip.

    Enjoy the trip.

    I lived in Vietnam for a few months when I was little. Don’t remember a ‘thang’.

    We went (back) to Cambodia last year in february. Just wonderful. Enjoy.

    Be good, Alison.
