Have you ever wanted to live overseas? Jim and I have done it for years, but this time it's different. We used to move around the world teaching military children, and living and working on US military bases around the world.
Now, we've taken it a step further and followed our daughter's family to Vietnam! It's completely different than anything we're used to. Come along with us as we recount what it's been like settling in this new country.
