<i>Below is our 'ammended' plan. I've taken all your advice on board and have changed/ tweeked a few things. I've left the original plan in black and the changes in blue...........I thought that way you'll see where I've tried to improve things. Let me know what you think. Now I really need to get stuck into the 'nitty gritty' of Siem Reap, HCMC & Hanoi which is much more fun than the logistics.
Thanks as always

Fly Brisbane to Bangkok via Melbourne (Jetstar B/class), where we will meet up with our friends.
<blue>Friends to fly from Melbourne to Siem Reap via KL, we have decided to spend 10 days or so in either China or Thailand and then meet them in Siem Reap.</blue>
2 x nights to explore the area.<blue>We have changed this to 3 nights</blue>
Start our 7 x night Mekong River cruise on either The Ms Amalotus or Ms La Marguerite depending on departure dates. <blue>We have decided on the Jahan cruise, the dates suit better and the boat looks lovely.</blue>
Disembark in HCMC & spend 2 x nights exploring this city. <blue>Also changed to 3 nights.</blue>
Fly to Hanoi with Jetstar. 2 x nights to explore.<blue> Again changed to 3 nights
We may do our overnight Halong Bay cruise after these three nights.</blue>
Overnight train to Sapa for 2 x nights staying at the Chapa garden boutique hotel.
Overnight train to Hanoi. <blue>We’ve all decided that we will make the most of a 2 night stay here, arriving very early am and departing the evening of the 3rd day.</blue>
1 x night Halong Bay Cruise <blue>Moved this to earlier.</blue>
1 x night Hotel (maybe airport hotel) <blue>Probably opt for another night Hanoi to rest up from sapa/train. May even book the hotel for two nights so we can check in early, train arrives into Hanoi at 4.30am.</blue>
Flights home with Singapore airlines on the 12th, all departing on the same flight and separating after our 3.35hours in Singapore.
Thanks as always

Looks much better - the longer stays in each place will enable you to see so much more.
