We're staying at safari lodges and villas: Galapagos, Ecuadorian rain forest (viz. Sacha Lodge) for Easter and then South Africa, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, and Uganda over the summer. Except for a few Wilderness places, we're staying away from big-box companies to mix up our travel experiences. Probably renting some sort of villa with friends in the Caribbean too in the summer.
May stay at the Four Seasons or Saxon though for a night in Jbourg, but does anyone have advice? We'll be in the bush for 3 weeks before Jbourg OTW to Uganda, so somewhere where we can walk around a little and listen to live music would be nice for the evening. We may just use AirBnb if there is something nice.

Looking at a Nha Trang weekend getaway in April/May. Will definitely be going - just deciding on property.
But of course will be visiting Amanoi and SS Ninh Van Bay at the very least.
Anyone done An Lam Villas and Fusion Nha Trang there?

Everywhere is pretty full because of CNY .
My parents booked without considering the crowds , which I do not fancy even at Puri .
So may places to go to in the region !
May do day boat trip like with mini Amanjunkies FTers DO
Let you know when things hopefully pan out
Trying to sort if HK is on next week or not !

Both is correct. Give it a try I cross my fingers. A colleague stayed after my Desaster and said it was not as good as it was during his former stays but still a pleasant experience.
