Hi VJer's!!

Good news everyone! My wife and I are going to VN at the end of Sept thru the first half of Oct and will be in HCMC for some of that. If you're in the South and would like to meet up, drop me a line!

While each VJ experience is unique, we all have common events and anxieties about the process and we'd love to assist any of you in helping make this easier...to understand :D

SO, if you are going to be in HCMC around the same time, let me know and we can share our stories and put faces to the names!

I'm at the South VN, and I like to see your couple. However, we only miss each other one week. I came back to VN on Mid Sep and will return to US at the end of Sep.

So sorry, next time.....
