Ho Chi Minh City – Paths of Glory
As you saw in our last, most efficient post ever (less than a hundred words; I think this one will make up for it), we spent a few days at the beach.
Nha Trang – Beach Bums
We left Hoi An and headed straight to the resort town of Nha Trang. As I have said before, I am not really a beach person, but even I will admit that Nha Trang was pretty awesome. Here’s what each of our three days looked like:

Traveling to Hanoi – Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Our time in Chiang Mai and in Thailand was drawing to a close. We were planning our move on to Vietnam, and we reviewed our list of desired Thailand “must do” activities. We decided to see a film.
