Marc, Yes to everything. The ride to Hanoi was an hour shorter by private car, we saw the Hanoi Hilton only on the outside. Hoi An was fabulous. We took a cyclo for an hour and we were able to see everything. I have some great pictures but we are having trouble posting them on our journal. The internet has been out so much of thye time that I'll fix the journal when we return home and I'll keep trying to post a little on it each day of the trip. So glad that your posting again,
