What a nice and gracious thing to do, taking your dad with you on a trip to Southeast Asia. You are a fantastic daughter and person.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Thank you very much! :)

[@JimMork]

I'm wondering if the two of them will do a "face time" sort of thing with the mom back in Canada.

[@ddixalot]

My son swears by the Amex card. I just can’t get past the fee. I thought he said his fee was $800.

[@JimMork]

@@ddixalot Alina has dealt with travel costs for years. I haven't at all. One trip finished it for me. But that blocks me from perspective for what "value" is for the digital nomad. The only "value" for me was a better exchange rate in ATMs in foreign countries. I can't really recall paying for ordinary things abroad.

[@jadhavmahesh8010]

@jweek12 hello

Your dad can be a real hoot!!! “No, I’ve never been to a lounge. I’m just an old farm boy!” 😆. “This Alina girls knows all the ins and outs.” 😃 of course!!!! Love you guys! Hope your trip is nicely memorable! Take good care! DJ in Texas.

[@JimMork]

He is a comic. Always wondering what his comeback will be.

[@Steve-xf4uv]

You made me remember when I visited my daughter in Japan in 2018, she lives there and I visited 3 weeks. She took care of me( her 72 year old Dad) just like I notice you looked after your Dad. We never forget things like this you know.

[@MrStan0630]

It’s great to see you traveling again. When I was in the Army I flew from New Jersey to Vietnam. I don’t remember how long the flight was, but it was brutal! I’m about your father’s age, so I have to give him a tip of the cap, undertaking such a long journey flight.

[@michaelatopalov1990]

Your dad is a real trooper! Treasure your time together! I lost my dad earlier this year and I wish I could have taken him to Sicily.

[@christommo4402]

I just flew back from Ho Chi Minh city to London. Luckily a direct flight, however it was over 13 hours. I find aisle seats the best, you can get up without bothering other passengers and you can occasionally stretch your legs out in to the aisle from time to time. Luckily my flight was a night time flight too, so I managed to sleep the best part of 7 hours out of 13. Agree though long haul flights like that are never easy especially in economy.

[@dattat12]

Welcome back to Vietnam! I wish that you and your dad will have a good time there

[@phon8491]

i am asian and i wouldnt go to vietnam. those people drive like ants. no one stops everyone honking and cutting each other off. and vietnamese dude got temper that always trying fight someone. vietnamese women are loud and sound like Skeletor is yeling at you. vietnamd and china two country i wont visit.

[@maxplanck9055]

I like alina’s awkward embarrassment when she speaks to her father, things that are normal to her and a strange new experience to Gordon like airport lounges, there’s always a nervous chuckling from Alina, touring with an old farmer across Asia is a fun experience,two different worlds in a different world from Canada, they get along well, looking forward to Asia tour 2 the sequel! Much love ✌️❤️🇬🇧

[@ladeanexploringgrandparent5485]

As fellow traveling Canadians, we just finished a flight from Vancouver to Johannesburg South Africa via Bangkok. To be fair we took a four day break in Bangkok between those flights, but that was the longest distance we’ve flown. The Vancouver Bangkok leg was 18 hours and the Bangkok to Johannesburg leg was about 18 hours, including a eight hour layover in Addis Ababa Ethiopia.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Still very long!

[@Nordlys1966]

There's a Bangkok to Vancouver non-stop flight now? 😳

[@pcmacintyre]

@@Nordlys1966 Air Canada began seasonal nonstop flights from Vancouver to Bangkok in December 2022. I wish there were nonstop flights from the US to Thailand.

I love airport videos because I love civil aviation. Amazing hotel deal. Your dad is an inspiration. He is so down to earth 👍😊🇮🇪🇨🇦🇻🇳

[@Busybeeee]

Wow! What a long journey to Vietnam. Hats off to both you and your dad for toughing it out. And congrats for escaping Canadian winters. I’m thinking of escaping to the Maldives, but the 26 hour flight is really discouraging me. Have a wonderful trip Alina. Ps . Your father is the most adorable person. I work in Saskatchewan, and I love the people of Saskatchewan, especially the farmers. But it’s especially touching for me to see father and daughter travelling together. I would do anything to travel with my dad who has unfortunately passed away many years ago. I hope you both cherish these moments together.❤

[@gediminasmurauskas7817]

Hi Alina! Welcome back to Vietnam! I'm looking forward to some new travel adventures with you and your dad! Enjoy the winter warmth of SE Asia, hoping that our North American winter is not super cold. The coldest winters of my life were spent in Saskatoon.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Of course they would be lol

[@leah436]

I live in NZ now and my family is still in Alberta, so every time I want to visit it's at least a 13 to 14 hour flight (to Vancouver).But my longest flight was from New Zealand to Spain which was 24 hours in the air, stopping in Doha. Have fun in asia!

[@AlinaMcleod]

Oh wow, that’s LONG

[@tridentyyz1031]

You flew 30hrs for a $25 hotel? What dedication! I hope you enjoy your escape from our Canadian winter.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Oh I will

[@tridentyyz1031]

@@AlinaMcleod I forgot my longest flight, Toronto to Athens.

[@highway2heaven91]

14 hours is quite unimaginable for me since I’ve never flown overseas. My longest flight is only 6 hours but even that seemed like a long time! Flights longer than 2-3 hours feel like an eternity, imo.

[@NormanF62]

Glad to see your dad could join you! When you age, there’s no reason to sit around and wait to die when you can go out and enjoy life and your dad is also escaping the brutal Canadian winter. You guys couldn’t have picked a better time to travel to Hanoi and the cost of living in Asia is lower than its in Canada and many people have given up immigrating to the West or are returning home because its very tough to live comfortably in Canada. Nice hotel with the daily breakfast perk and you could unwind after that long flight and extended layover in Tokyo. Thanks for the video and looking forward to more during your stay abroad. Take care and stay blessed! 😊

[@AlinaMcleod]

Yeah Canada with its weather and prices isn't super appealing right now lol

[@patrickwalsh8997]

Your Dad is a winner and AND He's lucky to have you

[@mozar5175]

Longest flight I did was Montreal to Aman, Jordan, about 11 hours. We switch plane and did 7 hours to Calcutta, then we did 3 hours to Bangkok. I thought it was not so bad. 5 years ago, we did 14 hours from Montreal to Shanghai, that was not so bad. The worst flight was flying back from Beijing, a 9 hour flight to Vancouver and then 5 hours to Montreal. I5 was so hot in the plane coming back to Vancouver, I had to get up and stretch my legs a dozen times. I now try to go to places that offer a direct flight of less than 6 hours.

[@aurinocastro]

This video is interesting. Now, I'm curious about two generations interacting about tourism. And I'm also practicing my English, because the sound of the video and the spoken fluency is very clear and audible.

[@hilsa68]

it is so nice to take your dad along and wish you both had a wonderful trip

[@cathygillies7271]

Hope all your travels go well Alina. Yes, the airlines are squeezing the seats closer together to fit in more passengers. Recently we flew the red eye from Vancouver to Halifax non-stop on our return from the Yukon. Very uncomfortable. My longest flight was 14 1/2 hours to Sydney, Australia from San Francisco in 2012 which went well. But I am getting older and don't enjoy that kind of travel as much. Your Dad is a great sport to be on these adventures.

[@AlinaMcleod]

Oh yeah, the flights to/from Canada-Australia are some of the toughest!

[@tringo999]

Wow welcome back to Hanoi Alina, I'm excited for you, been there in 2019 planning for another trip in Saigon myself. Your dad is still in great shape enduring 30 hrs flight, hats off to him. 👍

[@winstonw2020]

Thanks for the video Ms. Mcleod, I really enjoyed it and glad you and your father made it. Longest flight for me was 12 hours from China to Toronto, it really sucked cause every time I got up to stretch my legs the flight host told me to sit down. And it was freezing in the plane. Thanks again and I look forward to your work.

[@mattlawrence7130]

My last trip was over 36 hours with two connections and waiting a couple of hours for the plane to actually pull up to terminal because of the weather. Several years ago I flew to Odesa, Ukraine and had booked a room with no windows at Hotel Mozart. It was wonderful for dealing with jet lag after an 8 hour time zone change.
