I'm sitting here on the beach in front of Moomba restaurant surveying my surroundings. It's not the prettiest beach in the world but there's hardly other guests around and the sound of the waves are immensely calming. The fog from the mountains overlooking the property mixed with the eery mist from the sea creates a setting so peaceful it's emotional. This resort is just phenomenal.

But more importantly this trip has far exceeded my expectations. It is so true that great company is all you need. The pranks we played on one another, whether it was hiding personal property or dunking a person into the pool, the 冷笑话 worthy of shivers, the delicious Hue food that should be more renowned, the birthday surprises complete with cliché rose petals and tealight candles, the sports competitions we inadvertently set up, the care & concern shown, the generosity and compromise afforded... and so many more moments (forgotten as soon as they happen). If sisterhood can be defined by a shared experience, then it is exemplified by the bonds we build as fellow women over incessant laughter, tears of disappointment and wretched pain.

I am rebirthed, renewed and raring to go.
