Sometimes when traveling you need time to just chill and take a vacation from your vacation. I found my "weekend" in Hoi An, Vietnam. Everything I desired was before me. A fantastic beach was a motorcycle ride away and I was keen on some much needed beach time. A quick change of words with a local rental guy (sans the endless paperwork and expenses I'm accustomed to) was enough to get me on my journey. As the wind hit my face and I revved my bike past local villages and rice paddies, trading waves and smiles, I couldn't help but feel euphoric. When else would I get the chance to do something like this? Surely not at home.

After a fantastic day at the beach. I was content and ready to pick up the custom-made suits, shirts, and shoes I had fitted day before...all for laughable prices. I finished the night with a fresh seafood dinner with some friends, a booze cruise around the marina, and lounged in the cabanas at my new favorite bar. REPEAT x 4 days and that was my Hoi An vacation :-).
