Vietnam Itinerary

Day 11: MONDAY January 31st- Depart Phnom Penh around 7am by bus

It'll be an interesting ride across the border!  Will definitely keep you updated on that.
                Arrive HCMC around 1pm
                War Remnants Museum (75 cents; 7:30am-noon and 1:30-5pm)
                Reunification Palace (75 cents; 7:30am-11am and 1-4pm)
                Night: Outdoor markets and Dong Khoi Street (prices are cheaper than during the day)
Day 12: TUESDAY February 1st- HCMC
                Mekong Delta day trip
Markets of the Mekong Delta


This area inhabits some of the country's poorest residents.
Day 13: WEDNESDAY February 2nd- HCMC
                Cu Chi Tunnels (Ad $3.50; 30 km from HCMC; find tour)
And this is how North Vietnam out-witted the U.S.

I will undoubtedly come back with the same picture.


And we will hopefully come back with this one too! 
For only a couple extra bucks, you can shoot some high
powered weapons.  And if you're willing to dish out $300,
you can get some live cattle too!

                Can Gio Mangrove Forest (Time permitting) 40 km SE of HCMC
When you think of the U.S. destroying Vietnam, this area is
what you think of.
