Hi Carl,
You can arrange a visa yourself quite easily through any embassy for
around the US$40 mark. However, check with you TA as the ship may
handle everything for you.
Also, ignore most of the posts from disgruntled vets - the place is
interesting to visit some 30 odd years after the it was carpet bombed,
phosphored and deforested. I guess they (the vets) can't get over the
fact that the most powerful nation on earth with all of the latest gear
got totally screwed by a bunch of rice farmers. I especially liked the
comment by one respondant regarding the attrocities committed by the
Vietnamese - he should take a look in his own back yard with the secret
CIA torture camps and the concentration camp in Cuba.
Have a good trip
Joe
