Summary
Steve has to wait until they've dropped off Hong before he can brief the rest of the team, but the full debrief has to wait until they are on board the flight going home.
Because of the monsoon rains there would have been too much mud in the area for them to do much anyway, and Steve has arranged with Nhu Lap to provide transportation in December. He has also learnt that the way to avoid difficulties with the authorities in Hanoi is to bypass Hanoi completely using a different airline - one that flies straight to Ho Chi Minh City.
