If you enjoy listening to the Amateur Traveler, wouldn’t it be fun to be on the show instead? The Amateur Traveler is hitting the road. The plan for the first trip is for 10 days in Vietnam starting March 15th, 2010. The tour is organized by iExplore.

The tour will visit:

  • Cu Chi
  • the Mekong Delta
  • Danang
  • Hoi An

Just a quick question.. is this tour for 2010? Maybe I’m reading it wrong but it says 2009?

This sort of thing is too expensive for me, sorry

Though airfare would be cheaper for me since I live in Singapore

Wow. I would love to go and think it is great that you are offering an AT trip. We have two kids in college so I can’t manage it this go around. I would like to travel to Asia doing exactly this sort of small group coordinated by an experienced traveler (you). Thanks for your podcasts…they have enlarged my travel worldview.

Did you get enough people to make the trip a go? Just curious. Jennine has work commitments in March that she can’t miss. Maybe next time!

No, it looks like the tour is not going to happen. I think it was too last minute.
