NGUYEN MINH TÂM (Tom Premo)
VIETNAM 2007-2008 TRIP

MINH TÂM was to return to VN in Mid-Nov07 to see the Whitehouse East and the flower/orchid garden; however, they might be under water as the NEWS as of 5Nov07 was that there was flooding in the Mekong Delta. Also, there was an epidemic in Vietnam, so his wife says he should not travel to Vietnam until the end of Nov07...:=(

MINH_TÂM will be traveling to Vietnam for the six months, Nov07-Apr08, leaving from San Francisco (SFO) on China (CX) Airlines via Taipei for a direct flight into HoChiMinh City(HCMC)/Saigon TanSonNhàt(TSN) Airport.
