of our optional trip extension to Vietnam and Cambodia. Here, you'll enjoy an additional six days and nights of spectacular scenery ...
exciting adventures ... and incredible cuisine.
Hanoi, Vietnam
 Hanoi is one of the most beautiful cities in all of Asia ... and one of the oldest. Nestled
among wooded boulevards and some of the cities many lakes can be found architectural souvenirs left from many who have
conquered this valley ... from the Chinese who first came over a thousand years ago ... to the French, who were forced out
of the country within the last century.
Hanoi is a dichotomy in every sense of the word. Travel around the city and you'll see poignant glimpses of farmers tending
their fields amidst modern highways that abruptly become bumpy roads. Modern buildings seem to appear out of nowhere,
looking so out of place that one would have to wonder whether they were mysteriously dropped from the sky.
 The luxurious Melia Hanoi is located in the city center, the diplomatic and financial district of Hanoi. Opened within the
past four years, this 5-star hotel is a frequent host to celebrities as well as heads of state. It offers 306 deluxe rooms,
all of which have air-conditioning, direct dial telephone with voicemail, in-room power point for laptops, satellite TV,
mini-bar, coffee/tea making facilities and safety deposit box. In addition, your private bath is equipped with hair-dryer,
bathrobe, slippers and telephone.
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam
Sitting regally on a giant bend in the Saigon River you'll find Ho Chi Minh City, with a
population of about 7 million, Vietnam's largest. While Hanoi is the seat of government, this city ... formerly known as
Saigon ... is Vietnam's economic heart, and money is on everyone's mind here. You'll hear taxi drivers talk about the latest
joint venture regulations ... and shirtmakers discuss financial information with bankers in a "small-town" tone at the
local sidewalk cafes.
Well before traffic choked it's center, this city was christened as the "Paris of Asia" ...
a title earned by its wide boulevards lined with stately French villas and magnificent trees.
Voted the best all-around and business hotel by the Vietnam Economic Times for three years running, you'll
enter a new world of hospitality when you arrive at your accomodations ... the
Legend Hotel Saigon. Located in the city center, in the heart of Ho Chi
Minh City on Ton Duc Thang Street fronting the scenic Saigon River.

Seam Reap, Cambodia
 The world-famous temples of Angkor, constitute one of humanity's most magnificent architectural
achievements. From Angkor, the kings of the Khmer Empire ruled over a vast territory that extended from the tip of what
is now southern Vietnam northward to Yunnan in China, and from Vietnam westward to the Bay of Bengal.
A few kilometers from these temples lies your final stop on this adventure ... Seam Reap! This
small but rapidly growing town serves as the primary base for visits to the monuments. Its character, romance and
isolation leaves a strong and lasting impression, and is a fitting end to this marvelous trip.
