Cool Beans!

I just learned that we will be housed in a hotel "around the corner" from the university and that--this is the Cool Beans! part--if we want to go somewhere on the weekend, the university furnishes a car and a driver. Let's see. I know of a nice beach and a nice fabric store (think silk here) down the road from Hue, so I already know of a couple road trips we'll be taking. It looks as though the first day of classes will be February 16 since they usually start a week after Tet. Now the question is do we want to be there for Tet? Off to the guidebooks!
