Vietnam is such a beautiful country and was probably my favourite out of the 6 countries I've been to. The highlight of Vietnam was renting a scooter in Hue and taking a 9 hour ride with stops through the Hai Van Pass to Hoi An.

nice! Im planning to do something similar in a few months. Starting from Saigon then head south all the way to Can Tho, then making my way back up North via train or bus and go all the way up to Sapa then back to Saigon. gonna be making a ton of stops of different citys and tourist spots along the way.
Hope I can do lots within the 3 weeks lol. The new Lonely Planet Vietnam guide just came out a few weeks ago. still waiting for mine in the mail before I plan my trip.
open to suggestions on city/places/things to do/see/eat/stay if any of you guys got any suggestions
