In Ho Chi Minh City,you should spend two days.What to see : The war museum,the Notre Dame Cathedral square,the old Post Office,the central market of Saigon,Cholon - the chinese quarter,pagodas eat vietnamese food at Vietnam House on Dong Khoi Street or An Vien on Hai Ba Trung street.
Two more days to spend in Mui Ne beach,Phan Thiet province 190 km from Saigon,a leisure resorts beach and eat seafood there.
Two more days in Can Tho - The Mekong Delta to eat river food (fish)
You should do this : once in Ho Chi Minh City flight to Can tho.then fly back to Ho Chi Minh.Go to Mui Ne and then back to Ho Chi Minh to fly home
Have a good stay in Vietnam

Since you are going to be in SaiGon first I would also go shopping. Some of the best prices in the world for clothes ready made or you can have made for you. There are many great cafe's, restaurants and street food to taste too. The sea food is so fresh and yummy.

I agee with JD and take the hydrofoil to Vung Tau. Also an easy side trip to Nah Trang, and they do have a good beach, could be made.

You will have a great time. I would check with the trip advisor web site and read some of their forums for more good ideas and address of many different things to do.

Cheers

1. The American War Museum
2. Take a tour of the Viet Cong tunnels used during the war
3. Tour the Imperial Palace
4. Take the Hydrofoil boat to Vung Tau Beach...Not its best beach but the boat is a blast to ride
5. Ignore the 1st A-holes answer, who appears about 40 years behind. The Viet people in the south remain quite appreciative to USA, VN is one of the fastest growing tourism locations on the planet and has several US based 5 star hotels: Renaissance by Marriott, Hyatt, etc

Definitely head to Saigon. Notice I'm not using Ho Chi Minh City. Those Hanoi bastards shall pay...with their heads...

MUON DOI VIET NAM CONG HOA!

Go see the "Hanoi Hilton" The place where those zipperheads abused so many US fighting men.... then spend the other five days thanking them for the freedom you have to travel there.
