Promised the kids we’d go somewhere different for the school holidays. Vietnam won because flights from Sydney were reasonable and everyone wanted to see Ha Long Bay. Four visas to organize for the whole family.Applied for all of us on the same night. Kids’ applications came through in two days. Mine and my wife’s took three. No idea why the difference but we had them all before the flight so it didn’t matter.Ha Long Bay was worth every bit of the planning stress. The kids still talk about the caves and the boat ride. Wife found a tailor in Hoi An and came home with a new wardrobe. Already planning to go back next year.
