Hoi An✈️Ho Chi Minh•day 10

We didn't have to leave Hoi An until 1:00 which was nice because we had the whole morning to relax and take care of our last minute errands. We had to go back to the dress shop at 9:00 to try on our dresses. We were all extremely nervous and stressed out about it...would they be finished...would they fit...all of that jazz. We got up and moving, had breakfast and checked out of the hostel. We walked over to the dress shop and got there around 9:20. A couple of my dressss were already there but the other 5 were on there way apparently. Right off the bat we were like oh great, the dresses aren't even here yet! 😬 Two of mine were already there so I tried them on. I was so nervous to even put them on because I had no idea what the outcome was going to be. Dress one was Perfect! 

It was a looser fitting style and everything fit really well! I was so happy! One down, two more to go! The second dress was the long dress. 

 

When she was measuring me I wanted to make sure it was long enough. I was afraid it would come back and be up to my ankles (or even higher) so I really stressed the length when she was measuring. When I tried that one on it fit great as well!! Everything fell into place as it should! The only thing that needed to be fix was the length. She made it pretty long so that I could decide how long to make it! The third dress got there shortly after and I tried that one on. This one was my least favorite out of the 3 when I tried it on. I just didn't love the way it fit on me...the straps did something funky that made the whole dress look weird in the front. I was kind of bummed until the seamstress came right over, tugged and pulled at the straps a little and then had me look in the mirror...fixed! Exactly how it should look! The girls tried their dresses on and loved them too! Gabby needed all 3 of hers taken in a bit and Lindsay's was fine! They told us to come back in about an hour and they'd be finished...okkkkkk. So we left to grab coffee and kill an hour. On the way to the coffee shop we passed a tailor shop with a sale on pre-made dresses. We stopped to take a peak and I ended up with 4 new things! I hate shopping so this was a big deal for me! But I needed some new clothes and I was really happy with what I got! 

We went and grabbed our last Vietnamese coffee in Hoi An at this super cute cafe and then headed back to the dress shop. 

 

All of our dresses were there and ready! We tried them on one last time and were super happy! I couldn't stop smiling! Again I never buy ANYTHING so having SEVEN new pieces of clothing in one day is a big deal! 

 

We had one last Banh mi place to check out that was highly recommended multiple places! This lady is called 'The Banh Mi Queen'. She is probably 70 years old and has been running this shop for a long long time! Her sandwiches were by far the BEST Lindsay and I had so far! 

 

Gabby couldn't eat here because they only had one option...pork. So after we finished we walked back over to Phi Banh Mi, Gabby's favorite spot, so she could get a sandwich. We all ended up getting one to go for the airport later! It was almost 1 so we headed back to the hostel and got a grab taxi to head to the airport. The drive was about an hour to Danang, putting us there around 2. We all ended up having to pay to check a bag because we bought so much stuff in Hoi An. That was instantly frustrating so we went through security and grabbed a beer. Our flight was delayed about 30 minutes so we just hung out reading our books. We got to the Ho Chi Minh and jumped on the city bus. We were staying at the same place we stayed at when we arrived so we knew exactly where to go. We got checked into the hostel and chilled for a little bit. We had talked about going out tonight but by the time we got to the hostel we all seemed pretty exhausted. We got downstairs and realized we had no idea where we were heading for dinner and there was 10 minutes left on the buy 1 get 1 free hostel happy hour so we ordered margaritas before we left for dinner. 

 

We decided on Royal Saigon, which Gabby and I came to when we were here before. The food was so amazing! 

 

We were all so happy with everything!! 

Although we had no intentions of going out when we left the hostel earlier this evening, by the time we were done with dinner we decided on staying out and just grabbing a couple more drinks and maybe some hookah. This ended up turning into a 3am night. We laughed and danced so much all night! Such a fun last night in Ho Chi Minh! Can't believe tomorrow is our last day in Vietnam!
