The Itinerary:

Hanoi

Arrange to leave the United States December 9th. Arrive in Hanoi late evening December 10th- Early morning December 11th. We'll take a car to our Halong Bay accommodations (a UNESCO world heritage site). You'll have 3 days to relax, visit popular tourist destinations, and/or partake in water excursions.

Hue

December 14th we'll fly to Hue to begin our mountain yoga retreat. Accommodations include complimentary breakfast, a daily on sen and reflexology treatment, and unlimited access to outdoor natural hot springs, hiking, biking, and wellness classes. You might also choose to partake in optional cooking or art classes.

Hanoi

​December 18th we'll return to Hanoi. December 19 those wishing to extend their trip and travel to Thailand will board a flight with me to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Chiang Mai, Thailand

December 19-22: In Chiang Mai we'll visit the elephant sanctuary, temples, and night markets with the option to take a Thai cooking class, explore nature parks, or extend your yoga retreat with additional rest.

December 22, you have the option to fly from Chiang Mai to Hanoi or BKK and depending on your flight, fly home the same day, or stay in a hotel and fly out December 23rd. Some of you might plan to arrive at differing locations for the holiday season. If you fly home December 23rd, you'll gain a day and arrive home December 23rd. I'm happy to help each participant figure out the best option for their travel needs. 

Side Note:
If there are interested persons not going home for Christmas that may want to extend their trip to explore one of Thailand's serene beaches and nature preserves, I could potentially be persuaded to add one more extension to this travel experience.

Spending Money: Shopping, massages (avg $8-$12), food (a filling meal can range from $3-$10 USD while some eat for $6/day). 

Airfare:  Prices since COVID have ranged from $900-2400 depending on flight preferences.  Skyscanner is a great site to track flight prices. I have found the best flight prices are 6 to 4 months before scheduled travel. Less than 4 months and prices begin to rise. While there is less predictability, great deals do still come and go up until a month prior to travel.  
Travel Insurance: Optional but recommended in light of COVID pandemic and instability in national and international politics.
