Travel Review: Luxury Tour of Vietnam & Cambodia, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh, hanoi, Angkor Wat, Halong Bay Cruise

There were many highlights of our trip, including:

-- Getting a new perspective on the Vietnam War, through museums and a visit to Khe Sanh and the DMZ.

-- Exploring the streets of Hanoi, especially the old quarter and the amazing street life around the downtown lake during the weekend.

-- Three beautiful days at the resort in Hoi An.  Exploring the city of Hoi An, especially at night when the city is lit with hundreds of lanterns and the river is lit with floating candles.   The resort in Siem reap was our other favorite place to stay.

-- A beautiful day and night on a cruise ship on Halong Bay.   

-- Delicious food in every city we visited, new vegetables we had never tried (Tonkin jasmine flowers, morning glory, banana flower), great salads with pomelo and papaya, having pho for brfeakfast, and great beef, chicken, pork and fish prepared with amazing flavor and spices.   And of course, spring rolls and bahn mi!   Our travel cmopany made some great recommendations regarding restaurants in each city.

-- Visiting the temples around Siem Reap, including a sunrise visit to Angkor Wat.   We found the ruins of Angkor Thom and Ta Prom equally interesting.

-- Visiting the "floating villages" outside of Siem Reap.
