I posted this on the Far East board and thought I'd put it here for comments as well.

Thanks


A fellow I flew with 33 years ago and I are considering returning to Vietnam for a week or ten days. A Vet return. No healing required, we simply want to see where we grew up one year, and a beautiful country.

I am thinking about arriving in HCMC and traveling up the coast to highway 19 and from there to Pleiku. Maybe into Kon Tum and Dak To.

I would appreciate some opinions on:
organized tours Vs. self tour
safety of self tour
If I coud find a SEL plane to rent would I be able to fly in country on an FAA certificate.

Other insights and opinions appreciated.

Thanks again for the information.

The train info is especially welcome. Hadn’t heard that yet.
