We just booked the SE Asia trip for February. Are you stopping anywhere before you get to Saigon? Just Curious, since we were thinking on Thailand maybe. Any suggestions are welcome!My husband and I are booked on the Aug 3-14, 2015 trip. Super excited!

For anyone who has done the December or January itineraries, how was the weather? Was it warm enough for the beach? Were any of the outdoor activities modified? Do you have any packing advice? I am getting excited for December!

I am new to this board. We are going on our 9th ABD trip in February 2016 to Southeast Asia. Trying to figure out to stop in Thailand or somewhere else before we get to Saigon? Any suggestions or recommendations. Thanks
You'll be fine! This is definitely one of the things that drive me crazy about international travel, but just be sure you have your medications and a camera, and the rest can be worked out! I haven't had Dusty yet, either, but I've also heard he's wonderful!We are leaving on Monday. I am having the last minute panics. I have packed too much and am worried I don't have enough! And, I am dreading that long flight! Anyone leaving with us on the 12/23 trip? I saw that Adventure Guide Dusty is headed to Vietnam so it looks like he'll be guiding one of the Christmas trips. We have not had him before but heard he was terrific.
I am just back from this trip. Loved, loved, loved it! Thanks so much to Cousin Orville for all of his wisdom in his trip report. There is invaluable information in there! I don't think I have the stamina to write an actual report but I will try to go back through Cousin O's and highlight any changes to the trip. Also, feel free to message me if you have any questions. Here's some brief advice:
...
If this trip is not on your list, it should be. It is really outstanding! It may be our new favorite (competing with Greece).
Weather was ideal! I highly recommend the December trip. It was hot in Saigon and Siem Reap (but Henry and Chris said it was cooler than the summer months). Hanoi was chilly and we had rain one day. Hoi An and Luang Prabang were gorgeous 75-85 degrees. You could swim everywhere but Hanoi.Thanks for the kind words! So you went in December. How was the weather? I was actually thinking about doing this trip again some day. Maybe in a few years. I always thought December would be ideal.
