What's the net ionic equation of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide?

It starts off as HCH3COO + NaOH ---> H20 + NaCH3COO
Correct?
And furthermore,
What about Calcium Hydroxide and Acetic Acid?
Ca(OH)2(aq) + HCH3COO(aq) --> CaCH3COO(aq) + H2O(l) is the balanced right??

I'm using + for positive charged ions and & for the plus in reactions.

It's CH3COO- & H+ & Na+ & OH- -> CH3COO- & Na+ & H+ & OH-

Ca2+ & 2 OH- & 2 CH3COO- & 2 H+ -> 2 H+ & 2 OH- & 2 CH3COO- & Ca2+

So, the balanced form is: Ca(OH)2 + 2 CH3COOH -> 2 H2O + Ca(CH3COO)2

They're both H+ + OH- ---> H2O
