   We just got back from a 2 week trip. Bring a carry on suitcase, minimal clothing. Bring an empty duffle to take other stuff home. Unless you want to buy a bag. Don’t buy the first thing you see. Bargain your way through everything in the markets. If your wanting to see multiple places, stay in a hotel up north and a place in the south so you can travel to different sites

   Apparently Da Nang is vacation land for smokers, you smell cigarettes constantly. You can get your laundry done for you very very cheap.  When crossing the street, cars and motorcycles avoid you but they do not stop if at all possible. Don’t do anything unpredictable when crossing the street. The restaurants are very affordable, you could really save a lot of money if you eat with the locals eat. The locals are so friendly, spend some time outside of the tourist areas

   Don’t bother with Phu Quoc. And bring cash from your own country & exchange in Vietnam for best bang for buck.

   I did it south to north. I think most people wish they had known that it might be better that way. I met a lot of people coming from the south who had such fantastic experiences behind them and regretted doing it N>S.
