Good advice, guys. Finalized most of the hotels with the following itinerary. Decided to shorten Vietnam by a few days(skipping the beach part) and do a bit more in Bali. Also doing 2 nights on a private boat in Halong Bay
Day 1 - leave IAH for Hanoi
Day 3 - 9 Hanoi, private boat for 3 days/2 nights at Halong Bay (staying at Hanoi Sofitel)
Day 10 -14 Hoi An/Hue/Danang
Day 15 - 16 .Ho Chi Minh City
Day 17 - Fly to Bali; no direct flights so it takes most of the day to get there. Will crash at the airport Novotel to save some cash
Day 18 - 21 Ubud (staying at Ritz Carlton Mandapa)
Day 22 - 23 Canggu (staying at Hotel Tugu)
Day 24- 27 Jimbaran (staying at Kayamunis)
Day 28 - Fly home....
Thanks for all the recs. The itinerary is starting to come together, but really need to get focused on it. The current plan is to start in Hanoi and work our way down the coast to HCM before flying to Bali.
Day 1 - leave IAH for Hanoi
Day 3 - 7 Hanoi, private boat for 2 days at Halong Bay (staying at Hanoi Sofitel)
Day 8 -13 Hoi An/Hue/Danang
Day 14 - 16 TBD; probably something like Nha Trang, or maybe a beach town with less tourists near it
Day 17 - 19 .Ho Chi Minh City
Day 20 - 23 . Ubud (staying at Ritz Carlton Mandapa)
Day 24- 27 TBD; looking at Jimbaran bay and also considering the eastern part of Bali
Day 28 - Fly home....
Let me know if anyone sees any big holes in this itinerary.
About time we threw at someone. We’ve taken our lumps all year, guys throwing inside on us more, and that’s the first time we’ve struck back. Well done Charlie.
Anybody have experience doing this trip and some can’t miss recs? I’m going to do a 3-4 week trip in June/July and right now this looks the most appealing. The main downside looks to be the heat and risk of.monsoon season but our dates aren’t that flexible. Thinking about spending more time in the southern part of Vietnam because of the weather.
Let’s keep the mono going through tomorrow. Chicago’s bullpen is spent and will need rest even after a day off tomorrow. That series is ripe for the picking.
I am sitting on flights, hotel and tickets to the GGG v Canelo fight....guess I will wait out the final ruling before asking for the refund on the tickets.
