WELCOME TO DRAGONFLY NEWS

WELCOME !

Welcome to the official opening of this Blog... Dragonfly News is a collection of ramblings, ruminations and reminiscences (plus some important up-to-date field reports and useful information) from the team behind Dragonfly Travel.

"So- who are Dragonfly Travel?' you may well ask!

Well... at the heart of our company - we are a small and close-knit family... Ms Thu, Robert,, and little Thien.

· Ms Thu (Mrs Trinh Thi Thu) is the Director and founder of Dragonfly Travel. She is the real brains and the driving force behind the business. She uses her strong experience of over twelve years in the Vietnamese travel industry to design and deliver tailor-made travel programs for all our guests and can offer all sorts of travel solutions.

· Robert is actually "Dr Robert"... oh yeah, well...umm... with a PhD and all that. He used to be a UN advisor in Vietnam and worked in many other countries around the world. But then he fell in love with Vietnam and... so as they say,... "....the rest is history"

· Thien is 5 years old. He seems to survive by eating air and watching 'Shaun the Sheep' and "Scooby Doo" DVDs. He has no respect at all for the company business nor the office and is fond of putting all sorts of strange sticky objects into places that they don't really belong. He loves to meet our new travel guests in our home and is fascinated by people's different voices and faces. Despite his sad look in this photo, he actually giggles a lot. He is adorable.

So that is it.... yep... that is all you get for now for the first blog-log for Dragonfly News

We will upload new blog posts as soon as possible...but be patient

I hope that was okay?

And be kind eh?

A solid foundation

A solid foundation DoD 23 may 2015 The building is progressing quickly. In the end, Mr Long put in a quote that was about 20% higher than all other bidders. When questioned he couldn’t explain his justification for this price. Mr Khai simply remarked quietly that he had already visited the land and seen that the site was clay and laterite… hence he knew it would required strong foundations. In the end we went with Mr Khai. Actually he is an ‘architect’ not an engineer. He will build the concrete box, install the windows and doors, put the pipes, wiring, drainage and sewerage in the walls and floors…and that is it. The rest I will do myself or sub-contract. Steel reinforcing bar, gravel. Sand, cement, and cheap wooden planks for the formwork have been delivered to the site and themen spent a couple of days bending, cutting and shaping the steel reinforcement for the foundations The foundations will have 30 cubi...

All in all…just another Brick in the Wall

All in all…just another Brick in the Wall 1 June 2015 The weather is getting hotter. The middle of summer in DaNang is hot…hot with clear skies and a biting sun. Often the midday heat climbs to 37 or 38 Celsius. Our rental house has proven to be advantageous. Obviously it gives us an affordable home with an opportunity for Thu to have a small, elegant showroom and a home office to run our businesses http://chuonchuonboutique.com or Fanpage: https://www.facebook.com/tuixachoppo But also it turns out that a quick check of the compass (I rarely travel without a compass and a tape measure these days… when you are building a house it becomes habitual to whip out the trusty Stanley 5metre tape and check the dimensions on something you like the look of… be it a room dimension or a small sink for under the stairs toilet etcetc)…anyway… a quick check of the compass shows that our rental house is aligned in exactly the same direction as the house we are buildin...

HOLIDAY IN PHU QUOC - Part 2

HOLIDAY IN PHU QUOC EPISODE TWO AUSTRALIAN HOLIDAY FOOT WEAR We woke early to the sound of a tropical rainstorm about 6am. It was brief but wonderfully cooling and filled the air with that unique 'just after the rain' smell. All three of us had slept well and were already feeling in relaxed holiday mode. So it was into the holiday uniform of shorts and tee-shirts all round. I glanced under the side table and noticed that there were two new pairs of thongs - not the nasty little bits of fabric that wedge up between yer bottom cheeks - the rubber footwear that we Aussies call 'thongs', Kiwis call 'Jandals and the Poms call 'flip-flops'. Normally hotels here have either nasty little plastic sandal or cheap slippers that seem to be made out of cotton and cardboard but these babies were the genuine rubber article and brand new. Now I haven't worn thongs for years but they were an essential part of summer life and the de riguer uniform fo...
