I learned my lesson from last week. No more early flights. Getting up at 4 is too difficult. I am not in a rush. I might as well take a flight where I can get a good night's sleep the night before.

So here we are. Finally on the 3 week tour of vietnam. I am flying into hanoi and exploring all the major cities and tourist spots in January 2026. I will get to experience the coldest part (northern mountains) in their winter and travel southward on bus, train, boat and any local transport. I expect to see many new and exciting things, experience new foods and meet new people.
