Part of our time in Vietnam we spent road tripping from Biên Hua — near Ho Chi Minh in the south — up to Hội An with Britnee’s father and his girlfriend. Along the way we stopped in the beach/fishing town of Mũi Né, the beautiful hill town of Da Lat and then the border town of Đăk Mil near Cambodia where Tram’s family owns a coffee farm.
