Hanoi, estimated population nearly 6.5 million (2009), is the capital and second-largest city of Vietnam. From 1010 until 1802, it was the most important political centre of Vietnam. It was eclipsed by Huế during the Nguyễn Dynasty as the capital of Vietnam, but Hanoi served as the capital of French Indochina from 1902 to 1954. From 1954 to 1976, it was the capital of North Vietnam. The city is located on the right bank of the Red River. Hanoi is located at 1,090 miles north of Ho Chi Minh City. October 2010 officially marked 1000 years since the establishment of the city. On this occasion, Hanoi was named by Frommer's travel guide as one of the world's "Top Destinations 2010".
Wonderful St Lucia!
Elizabeth, The island of St. Lucia and the resort were both wonderful! 10 days was perfect. Rendezvous is well maintained, the beach is very walkable, and there is a personal touch from staff from beginning to end. We were upgraded to a seaside suite on the main level, received flowers and champagne on our anniversary (thanks Elizabeth), ate wonderful meals at the buffet and The Trysting Place was excellent. We also had dinner at TAO at the sister resort and it was superb. My only negative feedback is if you are offering day passes and meals at your sister resort, your guests should not have to pay $60 round trip for a taxi to use and enjoy the amenities at The Body Holiday. That was very annoying. I felt like we did not have true exchange privileges. All in all, a great way to celebrate our 35 years together. Thanks for recommending Rendezvous! P.S. I will remember your referral program and again, thank you for professional advice!
