Free Day and Farewell Dinner
While many students went to the Chu Chi tunnels on the free day, Kristyn and I spent the day at a local Vietnamese spa. We decided to spend some down time taking advantage of the inexpensive spa prices. Hard to beat a $3 manicure and $40 2 hour hot stone massage!
Our last night in Ho Chi Minh City was spent at Nam Kha Restaurant for our Farewell Dinner. We all enjoyed the food, drinks, and company. Dr. Jacobina had each team give a toast and it was nice to hear what the different teams had to say about the EMBA experience and the international residency. Most importantly, each and every team talked about the relationships we've formed with our cohort members over the past 18 months and how we've learned so much from each other. Everyone felt fortunate to have good teams, professors, and cohort members. Personally, I felt the residency offered the opportunity to get to know classmates outside of our teams. I really enjoyed getting to know more about my classmates and forming friendships with other cohort members.

Very early the next morning (4am!) we checked out of the hotel and headed to the airport for out trip home. Some of us decided to stay awake the entire night in hopes of resetting our internal clocks during the plane ride back to the U.S. It was an exhausting trip home but we were all very excited to be heading home to our family and friends.
