	Anonymous says: 08/11/2007	Thank you very much for making our trip to Vietnam http://www.vietnamtripadvisor.com so very memorable. We had heard that Halong Bay was beautiful but nothing prepared us for the magnificent experience in such an unique location. Absolutely breathtaking! Particular thanks to you the staff for your exceptional hospitality and care for us. Nothing was too much trouble for you in ensuring that our experience was first class from picking-up to seeing-off. They couldn’t be better! We will definitely be back and we will tell our friends in Australia that Indochina Sails in Halong Bay is an experience not to be missed.

	susiew says: 02/06/2006	I am tying together my goal to run in a Team in Training marathon in Alaska (June 17 2006) with this goal to see the aurora borealis. In fact I am dying to see flying squirrels as well and hopefully will see them in Alaska too! http://www.teamintraining.org/all_page?item_id=64346 - However darn, "In the northern hemisphere, the best time to view an aurora is during the winter. At latitudes where auroras are common, it is typically light all night in the summer—so you rarely have warm weather and a good aurora. Furthermore, in most polar regions, the weather tends to be clear during the middle of winter—so often the best time to see an aurora is also the coldest." http://www.noaa.gov/questions/question_030502.html

	susiew says: 09/24/2006	Since it was summer there weren't any lights!
	brainchild says: 09/22/2006	Hey, what's about publishing a few photos of it?
	susiew says: 02/06/2006	Kevin, are there "re-enact the movie Fargo tours" that are also available during a winter visit?
