Ok, well I've decided to head off to Nam for a trip.
couple of questions
1) Visa, where can I apply or what's the best way?
2) good hotels in HCM and Hanoi, not 5 star, ok with what I call business type hotels
3) what should I must see
4) Any recommended places to eat
i do have some friends there, but I like to get a bit of an idea

Halong Bay near Hanoi is not to be missed. Hoi An as well is good for a few days...Hue is a good stop off for a day... The north gets chilly by November so if going there do it around now is best. Hotels...well I only know the $10 places or the 5* ones ....let you guess which of us chooses which! Best eateries in HCMC are the Bahn Mi or Pho places at the markets....simply delicious! I got my visa online....plenty of them do it...just remember to print everything off....you won't get on the plane without those documents which you sort out at the visa counter at the airport. Alternatively you can go to the office on Wireless road in the morning...hand in your passport and get it back in the afternoon.

Ditto to what Smokie said.
In Saigon the Rex Hotel & Continental are great. So are the Majestic & the Caravelle...all four are my old stomping grounds. Check with Agoda.com for latest prices & bookings. I'm there often & have been for 45 years...great place. Sometimes I wonder why I settled in LOS....but that's another story.
Have a great trip!
