Singapore, Diamond Princess, Ho Chi Minh

Travis & I made it safely to Singapore, where incredibly I was able to catch up with a wonderful old friend from my McGill days, Steve Dufresne, who is married to my Kappa sister Sally! He generously treated us to Singapore Slings at the place they were invented at the historic Raffles Hotel. It was like time had not passed and if I were to tell you how long it actually was it may give away the fact that I am no longer in my twenties! The next morning we met up with Don, so fun to be with family in exotic locations, and played tourist on the Singapore Flyer and HoHo bus. We thoroughly enjoyed authentic food at the East Coast Lagoon food hawker. Mom & Dad arrived safely and we are now having an awesome time on the ship. Writing this from Ho Chi Minh, where we've had Phõ at the local market, unbelievably delicious, and have had our adrenaline rush crossing the street!

Love that photo of you three - it's like Travis travelled back in time: you and Steve haven't changed a bit! So nostalgic! Cheersing you from -- and missing you in -- New Orleans with such fond memories of toga parties* and fondue and all the great Kappa/Phi Sig adventures.

Enjoy those blue skies! Big love to ALL the Sharmans xxoo

*yup, for everyone who's curious, toga parties really happened, a fabulous Greek Life cliché!

Glad to hear everyone has arrived safe and sound. Please say hi to your family for me! I hope you have a great cruise. Sounds like you're off to a good start. As usual, your blog has my mouth watering thinking of the delicious food/drinks you're enjoying. xoxo

ps: Heather- must see some pics of the toga days ;)
