We're sort of planning a trip for next March/April (and I only say "sorta" because it's contingent on my boyfriend's company sending him to China - Which most likely will, but may not happen) - I'm pretty excited; it seems to have what I look for in a vacation - History, culture, great food, beaches, temples, and mountains...

We're thinking it'll be a two-week trip with two main destinations, one probably around Hanoi and one probably around Ho Chi Minh - I was just wondering if anyone has been and has any recommendations - I'm excited but overwhelmed at the same time as I'm doing preliminary research...

I'm definitely looking for an affordable beach-front stay for most of the trip, that is close by to cities, markets, etc.

Thanks for your help, in advance!
