From Hanoi you could go to Ha Long Bay or SaPa/Hai Giang or Ninh Binh, depending on how long you plan on staying in the area.
Domestic flights are cheap so you could be flexible with your itinerary. I saw this deal as well, was tempted on going back again next year. Hmm.....
Where to stop between HCM And Hanoi? Tons of great places,
Da lat (coffee/tea plantations, waterfalls, hikes),
Hoi An (Tons of tourists, make yourself a nice suit) and nice night market festivals of sorts. Also Hoi An had awesome food.
Hue - Original Capital city, so tons of citadels and monuments and great different variation of food.
Mui Ne (South of HCM) - for a more beach like.
Ca Ba Island (I read people preferred this over Ha long bay).
SaPa (over night train and 1 hr bus) from HaNoi - for a country like setting.
Hai Giang (Just past SaPa) - Also Country like and less tourists.
Dong Hoi/Phong Nha Park - for Caves. I found the city of Dong Hoi very quiet/not many tourists, nice quiet environment. About a 1 hr bus ride from Phong Nha caves/park.
