  • Vietnam Itinerary
    VIETNAM: A CULINARY AND CULTURE TOUR Program Leader: Author and Vietnamese food expert Mai Pham itinerary: ERICA ® THE CULINARY INSTITUTE OF AM FEBRUARY Presentedby Travel Programs 19-29 ® 2008 vietnam itinerary “Let me take you to the parts of Asia that I love, and share all the delectable flavors that I have been so fortunate to experience. Along the way, I’ll share glimpses of the culture and introduce you to some of the folks that I met, those who enchanted me with the idea that love, life and food – when woven together against the backdrop of family and tradition – is the most beautiful form of human civilization….” “Everywhere I go, people celebrate and engage in food in every way you can imagine. No matter what time of day, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, people crowd out on the sidewalks, sitting in front of billowing soup pots and sizzling woks, slurping and chewing endlessly. At the markets, the food stalls are packed as shoppers and workers stop for a bite to eat before facing the day. Out on the streets, food vendors – some pushing carts, others balancing pots across their shoulders – roam the neighborhoods, delivering food right to the doorstep. At weddings and other festivities – many of which are held at home – families and relatives joyously gather to cook and eat for days. How lucky I am, to have picked food as the window from which to gaze.” -Excerpted from Pleasures of the Vietnamese Table by Mai Pham Day 1: Tuesday, February 19 (Ho Chi Minh City) You will be welcomed to Ton Son Nhat Airport and taken individually to the hotel based on the flight information given to us.

  • Vietnam Detailed Itinerary
    This journey takes us from the stunning mountains of Northern Vietnam, home to many colorful hill tribe minorities, along the coast lining the Gulf of Tonkin and the South China Sea with !unspoiled beaches and blue lagoons, to the fertile rice paddies of the Mekong Delta in the South. ! !Day 1 | Hanoi !Upon arrival in Hanoi you will be met and transferred to the Metropole Hotel. !Accommodations: Metropole Hotel ! !Day 2 | Hanoi Hanoi is a charming city with pleasant lakes, shaded boulevards, and verdant public parks. The city center is an architectural museum piece, its blocks of ochre buildings retaining the air of a !provincial French town of the 1930s. We will spend the morning exploring Hanoi’s Old Quarter with over 1000 years of history packed into the maze of streets, alleys, and shops where you can find everything from local food to antiques. During the 13th century Hanoi’s 36 guilds of craftsmen and artisans established themselves in the Old Quarter. Subsequently each street has been named after the specific product, which was produced and sold here. Even to this day, this area retains the !essence of life from centuries. From here we continue on to visit Ho Chi Minh; Mausoleum, a large memorial to the Vietnamese leader. Ho Chi Minh’s body is preserved here and the mausoleum is open for people to come and pay their respects. The mausoleum’s design is similar to Lenin’s mausoleum in Moscow. Rows of visitors can be seen on any given day. It is said that Ho Chi Minh stated in his will that he wished to be cremated and to have his ashes buried in the hills of the north, center, and south of Vietnam.
