Planning a trip to Vietnam.<BR>1. If I have to choose between Hanoi or Ho Chi Min, which should I go for? <BR>2. How many days should I spend in each?<BR>3. Which hotel should I stay at? Looking at 4 to 5 stars.<BR>4. Thinking of visiting in May - is that ok weather wise?

1. Hanoi<BR>2. It really depends on how long you have.<BR>3. Sofitel Metropole in Hanoi<BR>4. It will be hot. More than that, I really don't know but that shouldn't be too hard to research.<BR>Have a great trip.

A second vote for Hanoi, especially if you plan to go in May, which is getting VERY warm.

1. Hanoi<BR>2. Depends on your time available.<BR>3. Horison (funny...that's how they spell it...a palace, immaculate, superb service, central)<BR>4. Steambath

Take the Hilton in Hanoi, <BR>It's a five star hotel with <BR>an exelent service and a Japanese restaurant (there is an European restaurant too)<BR>take 4 to 5 days, You wil enjoy it!<BR>Also take a look at the artist Nguen<BR>he is specialized in charcoal drawings, so lifelike that I'ts like you are seeing an Photograph, A must see!<BR><BR>_David

Topping for Michael.<BR><BR>And... HCMC first and then Hanoi.
