This was a gift from my boss. I kept it for a few months before I just sold it. It is pretty solid. Made in USA. You can't beat the quality. If I needed a sterling silver money clip I would buy a... -
I just picked this up and I am pretty pleased. Just what I expected. I am pleased with the Bark. However, I wish it was a little darker. A great deal for $35. Comparable to other belts in the... -

nah, September isn't a bad time to come. The south will be still in the wet season, which isn't as scary as it sounds, it just means that it will be hot in the morning, pour with rain for a couple hours in the afternoon, and then be really sticky. It will be late summer in central Vietnam, so should be hot there, get some beach time in. Up north it is warm but drizzly at that time of year. Tiger02 and I did a motorbike trip to Sapa (about 3 days from Hanoi) around Aug or Sep, and were rained on the whole way...never heavy monsoonal stuff, and never cold, just drizzly while still warm. Strange weather. That bike trip, btw, was one of the best things either of us has ever done. Highly recommended. You should find it pretty easy to meet other travelers on your way up, there are lots and lots of people backpacking their way up and down the country. Banging them is just an exercise in fish. barrel. shoot. Maybe even for you. I'll make sure Saigon treats you well. Pulling Vietnam out of it for a minute, I am generally an easy sell for a run over to Phnom Penh. That place is evil, yet it keeps pulling me back. You can take a bus/boat up to Siem Reap and go to Angkor from there. I will skulk back to Saigon and swear never to set foot in the place again. You can also check out Laos (where I have still never been actually). People say it's incredible. Note that if you are going to do Cambo/Laos, then you will need a multiple entry visa for Vietnam. It is much easier to deal with that before you leave than to try and get new visas each time.
