where we'll stay

After our very (very) long day of travel -- New York to Hong Kong to Hanoi, then a cab to Ninh Binh -- we'll be staying here for three nights, at Tam Coc Garden:

Then we'll cab it back to Hanoi for a couple of nights at Golden Sun:

After Hanoi, we're headed back to the Mekong Delta, one of our favorite places, where we'll stay in Can Tho, the biggest city in the delta.

After our three nights in Can Tho, we take a circuitous route over to Thailand, where we'll spend six nights in a tiny little fishing village, at the Mairood Resort:

we'll be staying in the big house, not in a cabin -- Mairood Resort / TripAdvisor link

To make our return trip home as easy as possible, we're heading to Bangkok the day before the flight, and we'll stay near the airport:

We'll have enough time to get some dinner in Bangkok, which will be enough time in Bangkok to satisfy me.
