SURPRISING MY DAD WITH A TRIP TO VIETNAM (his first impressions)

[@justinj9444]

Kevin’s style is awesome, dude’s like an all-American dad. Full of energy, doesn’t mind a little sweat, will try just about anything, has an interest in everything, and always down for a beer!

[@Markevans63]

Kevin is the star of this Vietnam series. I get where Kara gets her unlimited positivity, humour and open mind from now. Kevin is a hilarious, wonderfully accepting and kind man. Please feature him more in your travels and videos. So heartwarming to see the strong bond between daddy and daughter! Loved this series!! 🤣😄😊💞❤

I’ve watch every video of your travels and I think I can safely say this series with your dad will be one of my all time favorites. He exudes joy. And, y’all’s excitement for him is endearing.

[@LyraCestlavie]

I hear Kara's Southern accent more prevalent when she talks to her daddy😀 I'm sure you greatly enjoyed such lovely bonding time. Last October we took my dad and mom to join us for an anniversary getaway to Portugal and Spain, my dad's first time to Europe. He enjoyed it thoroughly!

Your Dad’s positivity is AMAZING! Even walking around in the crazy streets while getting rained on, his attitude was joyful.

We have lived in Asia for 10 years. We go back to the U.S. every summer. However, it was super important to us that we share this part of our lives with our parents (we have two kids). Honestly the best thing you can do with your family is travel and share adventures together. This video just makes me so happy! ❤️

I've been to Nashville. I love the food and the hospitality down there. I hope my home country was able to reciprocate in kind to your dad. And judging by this video, it looks like it has and he had a great time. Thank you

There is nothing like sharing amazing travel experiences with the people we love most... those moments are PRICELESS! We left our first car ride in Vietnam just as amazed as Kevin was that we made it in one piece... Hanoi - and Vietnam in general - is such a beautiful, albeit crazy country. Amazing video!

[@johntrau9627]

Never have been more enamored with your travel vlogs than this particular episode! I love all the other ones, but this one struck a chord. Visiting Vietnam with my dad was his longstanding--and perhaps--dying wish. Unfortunately, he passed last year before we could take him back to the motherland. Watching this vlog and experienced your trek with Kevin vicariously to this jewel of the orient was utterly moving and heart-warming. I have the tears to prove it. Thanks most kindly for bringing me the sights, sounds and mouth-watering aroma (from the imagination of my palette)!!! Safe travels and Godspeed to the most exotic and exquisite destinations that awaits you!

[@johntrau9627]

@kevin weaver Utmost THANKS, Kevin--very kind of you!

[@johntrau9627]

@Tuan Thai So classy and brilliant of you to lop ad-hominem attacks at me to say nothing but that you have a different point of view and express your disagreement about how i felt about my home country. Perhaps it was your home country as well, but you'd willingly disavowed it, fine by me, but i did not asked for nor need your vitriol. Your assertions are so utterly and ludicrously ignorant and entirely lacking in understanding of history and economic developments in the country that i pondered where to begin. For the record, Vietnam has slumps, but the country is not a slump. Like many developing countries, many of which are it's neighbors, it has serious problems with poverty, public corruptions, education, crimes (mostly petty; e.g., pick-pocketing, tourist scams, general social ills, lower standard of living, wealth disparities, etc.). This is hardly unique to Vietnam. Heck, America has plenty of slumps, or just take your pick of any country, whether developed, developing, underdeveloped on any continent anywhere. The one thing that are not unique to most, if not all, of these other countries is that they did not have to endure and suffer a long painful war with the most powerful country in the world. The decades following the War, the country was reeling, struggling, and limping along from the after effects. My family was subsisting off food rations regularly in the eighties. My mom stood in breadlines along with everyone in town for hours for a few teeny baguettes at a time, few times a week so my brothers and I would have food in our stomachs. On a good day we might have sweet potatoes or cassava porridge. Our most basic living needs were incessantly called into question--prolong power outages--no running water--what little stores existed with conspicuously emptied shelves--medical cares, forget about it. Yet, the country had emerged from the depth of war ravages and economic depression to undergo economic, political, and social reforms since the early 90's. Admittedly, it's not as fast as anyone would like, myself including, nevertheless, real and tangible progress are being made. When i went back, i saw random Vietnamese hipsters sporting iPhones, readily available wifi and internet services blanket the country. Many expats are moving back to start businesses. There is a burgeoning tourist industry, many Americans tourists have made it their vacation destinations, not to mention every American President since Clinton had paid state visits to the country and relations between the two countries couldn't be warmer. In fact, surveys in both countries rated in the high 40%--as high as any 2 countries can get! Yet, you discounted all these FACTS and chose to be myopic. No one should and can make you take the long trip back, especially if you see the country so decrepit, worthless and irredeemable--4 TIME OVER!!! It's your prerogative to self inflict unwarranted miseries. DON'T TAKE IT OUT ON OTHERS!
