The stay broke the ice between Hyatt and the Happy Hippie and How! The dominance of ‘H’ is screaming ‘happiness’ here because it was in beautiful beyond words Vietnam. Delay in flights between Cambodia and Vietnam is as common as my craving for coffee, so checking into Hyatt Da Nang was the best part of…
