Nonetheless, really looking forward to this trip! As long as the weather holds up we will make the best of it!
I don't think you will have problem changing CND into VND at one of the exchange booths at Tan Son Nhut Airport.
Backup plan is to withdraw some money from an ATM machine at the airport to cover the taxi cost. Across from the Sheraton, on the corner of Dong Khoi and Nguyen Thiep St, there is a ForEx shop with better rates than hotels that I used all the times when I am in town. They will accept CND there I am sure.
