Since we can't update the "About me" field, I thought I'd put some information here. I'm a retired electrical engineer, having spent the majority of my career in communications. I hold 32 US patents, mostly on communications subjects. Although it was not the focus of my career work, I have a decent knowledge of power distribution, both in the US and internationally, especially for residential service. I also have some knowledge of three-phase and single-phase electric motors and their control systems, but mostly only smaller motors maybe up to 10HP. After I retired, I took classes in woodworking and developed some level of skill. I've taught woodworking classes, short courses, in veneering, carving, dovetails, and box-making. I’ve built a lot of furniture for our home, to the point where my wife told me she doesn’t have room for any more in our house😊 My wife, Judy, and I travel a couple of times a year and I document our trips on our blog, www.mikeandjudytravel.com

  I have a lot of stories from my time in Vietnam. I recently wrote my life story for my family, which included many stories from that time. But I don't think they were very interested.

  You might also try to contact any other people on that particular tour to see if they want to do the Ha Long Bay Junk. If it's a small number, you could get a private junk for just your group. I…

  Noreen - I don't think it would be appropriate to discuss another company's tours/cruises on the forum. I'll send you a private message.
