When sharing our itinerary for the recent trip to Southeast Asia, disclosing a visit to the gorgeous Vietnam beach area of Hoi An universally received lots of “ooohs” and “aaahs.” Including a few days of doing nothing has become a regular part of the trip planning; this respite provides a much-needed opportunity to relax and […]
