I did a tour in Vietnam in 1969 and often thought of going back.

Daniel Dybsetter traveled to Vietnam for 25 days in January 2017, organized by Jack

I did a tour in Vietnam in 1969, serving as an infantryman with the 9th Infantry Division in the Mekong Delta. Over the years I had thought often of going back. I think I felt it would be good for me to see the country and the people without the effect of a war going on. This past winter my wife and I traveled to Thailand and took an extra week to go back to Vietnam. I had done some research about returning veterans and found Audley Travel on the internet. Jack was our country specialist and after several e-mail and phone conversations he designed an itinerary just for us. I was very pleased with our experience. Our personal guides and driver made every effort to make our stay enjoyable and stress free. Vietnamese people are very welcoming and I found no animosity toward Americans. The country has changed so much since my first trip. I enjoyed our trip very much and I was happy that my wife could accompany me this time.

Borneo

I recommend visiting - Places to visit in Borneo

Borneo

Lankayan Island is a great destination and your typical 'Robinson Crusoe' island situated about one and a half hours of the coast of Sandakan in the Sulu Sea.

Due to its close proximity to Turtle Island you are likely to see many turtles when you are snorkelling or diving on the house reef and the resort also has a small hatchery where you can see hatchlings being released into the sea.

This small idyllic island is a great place to spend a few days relaxing before continuing your wildlife experience.

Myanmar (Burma)

I recommend staying at - Sandoway Resort

Myanmar (Burma)

Sandoway Resort located on Ngapali beach in the Bay of Bengal, Myanmar, is arguably one of the best resorts in the area with miles of pristine sand and very few tourists in comparison to the more developed beach destinations of Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. The resort is the ideal place to end your trip with a few days rest and relaxation in this intriguing and colourful country.

Bako National Park covers 2,742 hectares of a rugged sand stone peninsula to the east of the Bako River near Kuching, the capital of Sarawak. Millions of years of erosion have created an impressive and breathtaking coastline of steep cliffs, rocky headlands and stretches of white, sandy bays. Wave erosion at the base of the cliffs has carved many of the rocks into fantastically shaped sea arches and seastacks.

The coastline is also dotted by a sandstone cliff vegetation characteristic of Bako. Other major vegetation types include the mangrove forest, mixed dipterocarp forest, peat swamp forest, kerangas (heath) forest, and kerangas scrub on the plateau; it's possible to see just about every type of vegetation found on Borneo at Bako National Park.

Well worth a visit even to experience the novel way to enter the park- from the sea.
