Got any good SGN intel? (I don't think I'm interested in the tunnels) Ferd [/quote]

No need to do the tours first few times. I do lots of walking on most layovers and the hotel in SGN is very close to much of what you can do in a layover or two. Last month I made it downstream a bit to far and have no need to do that again walking.

Since you are not going this month, I will collect up some stuff(maps) on the trip and get them your way.

I do have a 53hr+ this month and plan to go south to the beach and overnight if I can figure out the path. I will let you know.
