My Travels Through Vietnam Over the Past 7 Years
I've traveled to Vietnam 7 times in the last 7 years. I've been from Sapa and Halong Bay in the north to Saigon, Vung Tau and Dalat in the south. Vietnam is a great place to travel and once you get there it costs next to nothing to have an awesome time. The people are great and the scenery magnificent.

Vietnam Travel and Tourism
Lying on the eastern part of the Indochinese peninsula, Vietnam is a strip of land shaped like the letter S. China borders it to the north, Laos and Cambodia to the west, the East Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the east and south.

Welcome To Vietnam - Budget Travel Paradise
Welcome To Vietnam - Budget Travel Paradise
By Dwight Zimpel
Vietnam is becoming a very popular travel destination. People have put Vietnam on their itinerary for 2 main reasons: Vietnam travel is a great bargain for the budget minded tourist and when they arrive in Vietnam they are greeted by great hosts.
Airfares to Vietnam are bargains if you shop. You can be in Ho Chi Minh City (known as Saigon to the Vietnamese in the south) from the west coast of the United States in less than 19 hours and this includes a 1 ½ hour layover.
Domestic transportation is cheap! An open tour bus ticket from Saigon to Hanoi costs less than $30.00 and your get to see some of the greatest scenery imaginable. Don't want to take the bus? Comfortable trains and fast planes are available. A two hour flight from Saigon to Hanoi is about $100.00.
Tourist hotels are cheap and inviting. The staffs are helpful and courteous. You can travel from town to town with out a reservation and always find suitable lodging.
As mentioned earlier the scenery is fabulous - misty mountains to lush green rice paddies to sunny beaches. Vietnam is home to 5 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Halong Bay. Bring 2 cameras - you'll probably wear one out.
I have saved the best for last. The Vietnamese cuisine is awesome. Most restaurants still get their daily fares fresh from the local market. Fresh herbs, spices, vegetables and local meat make for great meals. Seafood and chicken dishes are specialties, together with those made from pork and beef. Vietnamese food is light and flavorful at the same time. Oriental and a bit of French influence create the right mixture for the Western palate.
Don't hesitate to put Vietnam in your travel plans. You won't be sorry. And you won't forget.

- I just can't believe how Vietnan transformed itself from a war-torn country into one of the most beautiful tourist spot, not only in Asia, but all throughout the world! I've heard from relatives and friends how they have enjoyed their vacation in Ho Chi Minh & next year, I'll be going there, too! I'll take some pictures of the beautiful scenery there & maybe I can put some of these pictures on my personalized checks!
