My perfect homebody day

Yesterday I found the perfect antidote to the "traveled-out" feeling I mentioned earlier this week.

Earlier this week I had arranged a hotel in Hoi An based on the stellar reviews given to the Ha An Hotel on TripAdvisor. At US $45, it's a lot more expensive than your average hotel in Vietnam, but of course still quite cheap compared to US hotels.

Upon checking in, I was delighted to learn what $45 gets you in Vietnam. I was greeted with delicious ginger tea, as well as fresh flowers and a fruit basket in my room. The room is beautifully decorated, with high-quality bedding, fluffy towels, a TV with DVD player and a selection of DVDs, free wi-fi, and even flower petals on the bed! I can see why past guests said their stay here was the highlight of their Vietnam trip.

With rain pouring down outside, and a days-old desire to be a homebody, I gave myself permission to do nothing for the rest of the day. I lazed around in bed, took a hot bath, watched mindless TV, surfed the Internet, and eventually tracked down a bottle of wine and got a little drunk while watching a movie.

Ah, to do nothing...

Sounds like a day well spent.
