That's the ONLY good thing about being here. So close to Asia.
I found tickets for $472 each and then found a nice hostel (has good reviews) for $13/night. Total for 2 tickets and 5 nights (have to pay per person for the hostel) is $1074. Just for the flight to Palau would cost me more than that! Then hotels there are $150+ a night and would also need rental car at $50 day....Palau trip would cost double of Vietnam trip.
Hmm....guess I need to start seeing what the shopping is like there too! I've already checked out the sightseeing....undergrown tunnels, churches, river rides and such, but haven't checked the shopping yet. <gasp!>
