hbrand is on a distinguished road
If worst gets to worst and the tix are sold out you can always catch a bus. From Nha Trang to Hanoi this is about 24 hours (if my memory is serving me correctly, I did it in 2001). It's kind of a mad trip, but down a sleeping tablet and you won't remember a thing!
You'll love Vietnam. It is absolutely beautiful. Crawl through the Cu Chi tunnels and ride on the back of a motorbike taxi in Ho Chi Minh City, two experiences I'll never forget. Very true that Halong Bay/Hoi Ann are magnificent as well. Do the Mama Heinz boat trip in Nha Trang - unforgettable, although your head will be sore the next day. Be careful of your stuff in Nha Trang, I was mugged twice and didn't even take my handbag out with me, the guy I was with lost everything. Don't know if it has changed but back then you couldn't walk down the street without a motorbike flying past and someone trying to grab your bag.

Enjoy!
