Hoi An is a very nice place to visit; however, this month is the midst of heavy rain and possible flood. Check the weather first. I will also travel to VN this month. Will spend Christmas & New year with Thuy. I can't wait.

My round trip ticket is $1800. :-(

Are you flying from the West Coast? Seems like it's always more expensive from the East Coast where I live. Just a couple days difference in departure made big difference too. If I could leave a week earlier, would have saved $100's. Oh well, all paid for and started packing already! Wooooo!

My wife and I are also heading back for the holidays. I lucked out by using my mileage for the tickets. However, the wife has spent plenty on all the ####### we have to lug back to VN with us. I'm sure we will be over the weight limit on our suitcases.

Have a good trip.

Yes I fly from West Coast. I think you guys (east coast) will have to fly across the U.S to Asia, which is why it cost more.
