Thanks for sharing your experience so far! It sounds like an exciting trip despite the luggage hiccup and schedule changes due to Tết.
I *just* noticed this myself last Friday. That is a big change! Had I not gone on the old trip I would have probably pushed it out tbh, but I feel like I loved the trip I went on so much as is...! I'm glad it worked out this way. I'm worried we would have skipped some things that are now marked as 'optional' and not had the time to have some of the free time and meals we did which I very much enjoyed. I'm conflicted... and hope if no one makes it on one before you that you come back and spill the tea!Patiently waiting for moreThis trip has always been on my list, and I am thrilled to see (I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet) that they are now going to Ha Long Bay in 2026! That was one of the reasons I had lowered this on my mental list
Wonder if the guides mentioned anything about the change?
LOL, I will indeed, but with life changes travel still seems pretty far away. It's very weird that no one has mentioned it--I wonder if they are trying to keep it on the low down to not discourage people from booking 2025? Who knows, but weird that it wasn't called out. I noticed a pretty significant change in the Switzerland/italy trip as well--they no longer go to Lake Lucerne. Strange change to make. Anyway, looking forward to more of your report.I *just* noticed this myself last Friday. That is a big change!

It really was! The Vietnam portion had some hiccups in the beginning logistics wise, and a few other snafus but Laos and Cambodia more than made up for any mishap. I'm glad I'm going back through all the pics again now months later. I need to do this more often after trips. We're always bustling onto the next thing... aside from some smaller trips closer to home we're supposed to be headed to Egypt and Jordan in November which has me stressed out as you can imagine! Its nice going back to a tranquil trip like this to remind myself to breathe and that its all worth it!Love all the pics--looks like a great trip!
