Didn't make it to Vietnam

Hello from Singapore!! Yes, we are still in Singapore. So, Drew booked our tickets to Hanoi, Vietnam for an 8:30am flight. We woke up at 4:30am. Got a taxi at 5:30am and drove into the airport. Everything sounds like it's going well, right? Well, this is as close as we ever got to Vietnam:

We are newbie travelers and so we make mistakes along the way. Apparently if you're flying into Vietnam you need to either get your Visa beforehand from the embassy or  you have to apply for a "Visa on arrival" in which case you need to get a letter from a travel agency that says you're legit or something like that, and then you get your Visa when you arrive. It takes money and time to set this all up, so we've delayed the trip for one day. We held our breaths as we set up our Visas on arrival via the super sketchy looking website http://vietnamvisapro.com/. It turned out ok, and the service was very prompt. So hopefully everything will work out when we make attempt #2 to Hanoi. 

Wish us luck!
