Hello everyone

This is my first post on travelfish. Great forum. Thanks for keeping a resource like this alive.

Well I have booked a flight into Saigon on Oct 25 and a flight out of Hanoi on Dec 24. My itinerary vaguely looks like this at the moment:

Week 1-Saigon/ possibly another area to the east/north
Week 2- Mekong delta
Week 3- Angkor/ possibly somewhere else in Cambodia along the way
Week 4- Thailand( thinking national park/relaxed Buddhist town)
Week 5- meet a friend in Bangkok and get out fairly quickly heading north
Week 6&7-Laos
Week 8- Hanoi for flight home

Does this look like a reasonable itinerary. I like to leave things pretty vague( more plans more problems is my philosophy)

My friend will arrive on the 4th(?) of December and fly out with me from Hanoi on the 24th. Is that too much to cram in during those three weeks?

Also my budget is about 1600$US. reasonable right? I figured it would be fine especially because I am traveling with another person for the last stretch.

Please and thankyou everyone.
