Hanoi, Hue, Danang, HoiAn, MySon, NhaTrang,DaLat, HoChiMinhCity
| Vietnam was the
major stop on my 2007 trip to Asia. I have met with John and Stana who were
on their 12-month trip around the world and we traveled from Hanoi to
HoChiMinhCity. (During our trip around the world, we managed to visit
the south and the north, so this nicely completed it.) |
