The First Time to Vietnam 
Rob and Dan were visiting Vietnam for the first time, and they were 
really having a great time. They started in Saigon, and after three weeks, 
they decided to make Halong Bay the big finish to the trip. But, they 
didn't have a hotel reservation for their last night after they got back from 
Ha Long Bay. While they were driving back to Hanoi, Rob said, "We 
need to get back to the city so we can find a hotel before dark. I wish the 
driver could speed up. At 5pm, the tour company's car dropped them off 
in the middle of rush hour traffic in the busy Old Quarter on Ma May 
street. Dan said, "Ok, so now what do we do? Should we just try that 
hotel over there and see how expensive it is?" So, they walked into the 
hotel, and said hello to the man at the desk. They said ok to the price, and 
they asked if they could check in right away. "It's our last day in 
Vietnam", Dan said, "I'm so sad we have to fly home tomorrow." Then, 
Rob asked, "What is the check out time?" The hotel clerk replied that 
they must check out before 11 o'clock, and asked if they wanted a car to 
pick them up in the morning to take them to the airport. So Rob said, 
"Well, I think we should ask the car to pick us up at 11 since the plane 
will take off at 1pm." and Dan agreed. The clerk gave them their room 
key, and he said they would bring some bottles of drinking water in a few 
minutes because they had just run out. "We just ran out of water this 
morning, so I need to go buy more", said the clerk. "I'll bring them to 
your room, and I'll also be here in the morning to see you off to the 
airport."
