Hanoi To Hoi An

What are the best cities/areas to visit in Vietnam?

I will be spending about 8-11 days in Vietnam, flying into Hanoi and leaving from Saigon. I'm looking for suggestions on where I should concentrate my time? Was thinking Hanoi/Halong Bay, then go by train to Hoi An. I've already spend 3 days in the Saigon area but don't mind spending 1 or 2 days there again. I'll either fly out of Saigon, or take a river cruise/bus into Cambodia for 4 days, then fly out of Siem Riep.


good itinerary as it stands, try to do an over night train to da nang [ hoi an does not have a station] motor bike or cab to hoi an [ $3-$7] 2 nights in hoi an, take a late afternoon boat ride on the river [ you can meet woman down at the cam nam bridge by the market who will take you out on the river]. take the plane [ or over night train]to nha trang [ book flight as soon as possible] 4-5 nights in nha trang, 2 in sai gon, and that would give you time in ha noi to either go up to sa pa or mai chau or take other day trips out of ha noi. phu quoc island in the south and phong nha caves in the north are very nice but defiantly out of the way and would cost you time you don t have on an 11 day trip. 2-4 days around ha noi , 2 nights in hoi an, 4 nights in nha trang [ there is plenty to do in and around nha trang] 2 nights in sai gon and 2 nights traveling between places.that's already a tight squeeze..be flexible in your plans AND ALWAYS HAVE A BACK-UP PLAN ! and if you go anywhere by bus [ especially cambodia] take Imodium and dramamine with you.
