Hi there,

My wife and myself are heading to the area in February for our annual winter vacation. Not going to Mexico or Caribbean for a change! Can't wait.
Just a few questions if anybody can chime in?
- Landing in HCMC later on a Saturday and staying at the Sheraton. Next morning wanting to walk to the War Remnants Museum then work our way back. Is this walk doable and safe?
We want to experience the culture and are not worried about fancy restaurants and stuff. We can do that at home. Looking for recommendations finding simple eateries that we can watch the world go buy enjoying cheap bear and decent local food. Anything in the Sheraton area that we should be aware of or we can find? We are flying out then on Monday morning to Nha Trang for 11 nights.
- Coming back through HCMC we are trying out the Le Meridien - Any recommendations for those type of places also in that area? The next day we are then taking a Mekong Delta tour then coming home the next day.

I think I will reserve a private pick up when we first land just to get our bearings straight as this is our first time here. I would rather book something from a company on line rather than the hotel as they seem quite expensive in comparison. Any recommendations?

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated for our short time in the city.
Feedback on the hotels we are staying at?

.......oh and also...... I assume it will be easy to exchange CDN dollars when we land at the airport to start us off. We land around 10:00 p.m.
