I just put Mary Ellen and Tony in a taxi to the airport.  Both of their flights leave Vietnam at around midnight, with Mary Ellen flying through Seoul and Tony flying through Tokyo.  Tony gets back to Atlanta about 2:00pm on Sunday, and Mary Ellen gets back at about 6:00pm on Sunday due to a long layover in Seoul.

They got back from their trip to Cambodia about 1:00pm today.  They said they really enjoyed seeing Angkor Wat, had a great guide, took a ton of pictures, etc., and are glad they made the side trip to Cambodia.

Today we had a nice lunch at the “31″ barbecue joint – which is the place I took the photos of the menu boards featuring field rats, snakes, etc., back when I first started blogging.  Then Mary Ellen and Tony went to the War Remnants Museum, which I went to back in 2001 and didn’t want to go to again because it’s pretty depressing.  We met back up around 5:00pm, did some last-minute shopping, then met my friend Thao for dinner at a nice restaurant called the Temple Club.

After that, we came back to my office where they had left their luggage, they repacked their bags to make room for the stuff they bought, and I put them in a cab about 15 minutes ago.  Again, I was sad to see them go – it really was a lot of fun having them here and they are certainly welcome back anytime!

My plan for the evening is to sleep at the office so I can watch the Tennessee vs. Kentucky football game at 1:30am and then the UGA vs. GA Tech game at 3:30am.  I have threatened to do this all season, and am finally going to do it tonight if I can get the games to come in over the internet properly.  If Kentucky beats Tennessee, Georgia gets to play for the SEC Championship.  I bet that in reality I will be asleep by midnight and will have made it through an entire college football regular season without watching one single game, but I have good intentions!
