Well rated on tripadvisor and recommended by a friend, we were excited to spend a day with these amazing animals! What sets this outfit apart from […]

For science. At least that’s what I told Nick. I dreamed up this great idea while we were staying at the Park Hyatt Tokyo. Baller style.

We spent a hot minute in Siem Reap to see the Angkor Wat temples. Since we were only going to be in the area for 2 days, we hired a guide to take us around the temples. From an efficiency standpoint, this is really nice. They can speak to the history – our guide was
We never made it to Halong Bay. It was billed as a solid 4 hour bus ride from Hanoi and not really doable in 1 day. As a result, we decided to pass. Instead, we headed to Trang An. After a decent amount of research, we picked Trang An based off of the reviews –

The Cu Chi tunnels are a short drive from Ho Chi Minh city – a little less than 1 hr. I knew nothing about them, “thankfully” my history buff husband was right on top of it. So we spent the morning of day 2 exploring the tunnels. For anyone planning a trip to the tunnels,
