Go to Hoi An.
Go to Hanoi, then to Ha Long Bay.

Perfect 10 day trip and one of the coolest places I've been. HCMC is hands down a fantastic city.

If the trip that i am currently looking into doesn't come to fruition then i will definitely look into going to Vietnam further

Re: Fiji

I have a colleague who just returned from Fiji and thought it was fantastic.

July in New Zealand depends on where you are - but yes it can be cold and miserable, and snowy farther south.

Let me throw a destination out for you to consider - the Northern Territory. It does meet most of your criteria in that there are a lot of activities and July weather is pleasant, and as an added bonus, it can also be difficult to get to as I see that is an important factor to you.

Nightlife, no, unless you fancy grubby pubs.
