Video has the Sora watermark, which means it is probably AI. Don’t shoot the messenger.

That’s crazy. Sounds like it was a hodgepodge of groups that operated loosely under the title of the Dixie Mafia. I need to read a book on them. Can’t imagine they’re as relevant today as they once were.

The Dixie Mafia robbed my granddad and some others while they were playing cards at a country club in southwest Georgia. Cleaned them pretty good. Couldn’t call the sheriff because he was playing cards too haha

Hanoi is our last stretch that we haven't booked anything for yet. Halong Bay looks awesome and it sounds like the junk boat tours are good. We're looking at visiting La Han Bay which is near that area. From the sound of it, there are less tourists and the views are great like Halong Bay.

Yeah, after reading more about Da Nang versus Hoi An, we've decided to stay in Hoi An rather than Da Nang.
Booked 3 days in Hoi An at a highly-rated hotel for only $132 total - crazy how inexpensive these hotels are. I've read where you can rent bikes (sometimes free) at the hotels, so I imagine that will be how we get around Hoi An.
Some things we're planning on doing in Hoi An:
- visit old town
- food tour
- suit/dress shop (their shops are custom-made, affordable, and can have it ready within a day)
- see the lanterns on the river
- visit An Bang Beach
- kayak to some caves
- take a cooking class
Not sure if we'll have time to do the Hai Van Pass but will keep that in mind for our next trip.

We'll set aside at least two days and one night for Ho Chi Minh, maybe squeeze in three days. A moped food tour sounds awesome.
We did a walking food tour in Tokyo one time and that was by far my favorite experience - people from all nationalities laughing and drinking with each other (plus our guide reminded me of Mr. Chow from the Hangover and he carried plum sake in his man purse). If I can find the name of his business, I'll post it - can't recommend it enough.
From your trip, it sounds like you did several types of tours. I really want to do a boat tour overnight, so I'll look into Indochina Junk.
How was your experience in terms of transportation? I'm so used to renting a car when I travel in the States or catching an Uber in the city, but I imagine we'll hire vans to get us to and from.
Also, how was the language barrier? Are there any words or phrases you'd recommend knowing before arriving?

Upcoming Honeymoon in Vietnam
Posted by olehickory1767 on 12/25/24 at 10:24 am
My soon-to-be wife and I are going to Vietnam for our honeymoon in mid-January.
Apparently Vietnam is a popular spot for Europeans and Australians/New Zealanders to vacation at. Beautiful scenery, relatively safe, and very affordable once in country.
So far, our trip looks like this:
On 1/16, we'll land in Ho Chi Minh City late in the evening. The next morning we'll fly to Phu Quoc Island where we'll stay a beach resort until 1/21 when we fly to Da Nang. After we spend a couple of days in Da Nang, our schedule is wide open. I'm hoping to iron out the rest of our schedule between now and the time we fly out on 1/31.
We're looking to rent a motorbike for a day and we'd like to hike some while there.
Have any of you been to Vietnam? Would love to hear some of your favorite places to visit and experiences that you've had. I plan on updating the post with some of the things we did after we get back and settled in to the married-life.
