@@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.
I am Vietnamese. I have been watching your videos a lot. I'm very happy that you chose to travel to Vietnam for the second time. Wishing you and your dad a happy trip.
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.
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.
Thank you for visiting Vietnam. I live in Waterloo, Ontario, but was born in Vietnam, north of Hanoi. I haven't been back since left my birth place 40+ years ago so I am grateful that you are sharing your travel experience here.
It's always so wholesome to see you travelling around with your dad, whether it's all across Canada or to foreign countries together. Glad to see you arrived safely in Vietnam, here's to an exciting stay for the two of you! :)
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.
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 ✌️❤️🇬🇧
I’m Viet-American and seeing you and your dad traveling to vietnam is a great feeling because it shows that people around the world are intrigued by the Vietnamese people and culture. Hope you and your dad have a memorable experience with your time in Vietnam.
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.
Hi Alina! 😁🙏👋🌟 I hope your having a super marvelous day! This is a fantastic excellent video! Great to see your Dad! 😄👍❤️👏📹🇨🇦🇻🇳✈️🥇💯💫✨🌟 Thank goodness you and your Dad have reached safely to Hanoi, Vietnam. Wow! 30 hour flight to vietnam is really long! The Silk Castle Hotel room suite looks really nice! $25 is a great price! Thank you very much Alina to share with us this marvelous video. You are the best and greatest world traveler adventurer! 😃👍👏✈️🌎📹🥇💯🏆💫🌟 I wish you Alina and your Dad a wonderful excellent magnificent blessed day. Take care Alina. Enjoy your visit in Vietnam! 😊🙏❤️👋🇻🇳👍✨🌟
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.
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.❤
Your dad is a trooper and so are you so happy to see you spend time with him. Have a wonderful experience in Vietnam. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. I miss my father every day so great to see you with him. Cheers.👌💕
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.
@@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.
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. 👍
Your dad is such a sport and so nice to see the two of you travelling together and him having a great time together. I miss my dad and it is so nice to see this. God bless you both 🎉
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.
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.
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! 😊
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!
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.
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.
super cool you brought your dad into the lounge, we have the same cards too and always so happy to see their reaction when we bring a one timer into lounges
I love your dad! (and you too Alina). He is great! And so practical and true! Nothing is ever free...someone pays for it at some point! Keep up the great channel! The longest flight for me was from T.O. to Scotland. About 7-8 hours. That was long enough for me confined in a tube full of people!
15 hours from YVR to AUS on a 787 - tbh it was torture, but worth it in the end. So nice to see you and your Dad traveling together again! You two are delightful❤
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.
I don't know what it is but there's something comforting to me to see you back traveling around in SE Asia. Looking forward to catching some of the vids and following along with you and your dad.
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.
Enjoy your journey. Get there safe and sound. Wishing you a safe journey and a relaxing holiday when you arrive. May your journey be free from stress and bring you home safely.
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.
Very nice to see MATURE/RESPONSIBLE content from Alina Mcleod and her dad who I am deeply in love with! I am deeply in love with maturity, rational mindedness, calmness, cultural sensitivity/etiquette, high intelligence/knowledge!!
@@AlinaMcleod visit Da Dat city or Dak Lak province if you have time. If you love coffee, it 'll be the best destination for you. There are so many coffee shops with incredibly low prices, especially local coffee shops.
Great video Alina! Great to see you with your Dad. Whew that's a long flight. I think the most we have ever done was a 11 hour flight and that was very tiring. Have a great time and looking forward to future videos!
Glad to see you make it to Asia safe and sound. 30 hrs is a long flight. I normally just try to hibernate and hope I would wake up once arrive. Enjoy your adventure...
Just came back from flying "around the world" trip. YYZ to ADD for 13 hrs and layover for 16 hrs before the flight to HKG for 10 hrs. Inbound from HKG to TPE for 2 hours and 14 hrs from TPE back to YYZ. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Such a great thing to do being able and willing to take your dad on the long trip. We recently took my dad back to Vietnam as well since we left 40 years ago. Hard to describe that feeling that he had being back for visit. Your had so funny and cute :)
Wow that's quite the journey. Awesome to do it with your Dad. Reminds me of my Delhi - Toronto flight this year. Delhi to Vancouver 15hr - Didn't leave Delhi until 4:00am - so we were up all day as we had to be at the airport at 1:00 am. Then a 4 hr layover in Vancouver and finally on to Toronto. Something like 38 hours door to door. Yikes. Luv your channel. Looking forward to the next episode. Tom from Toronto
I am glad to see you make it safe to Asia, take good care of your father. My longest flight was from Amsterdam to Miami, I told you about my Canada plans some weeks ago, if I will take a flight it will be Vancouver directly, it is around 9,5 hours. If I go for are more ambitious plan it will be by ship to Halifax and discover parts of Canada from there. Enjoy your stay and I will see your next vid 🙂
It's so wonderful you are taking your father with you on your trip! My father and I are close as well and so I would love to do that with him, however, he wouldn't dare travel internationally nowadays with the craziness this world has to offer. But I WILL do it someday!
Hello, hope you and dad are doing ok after that long flight. The longest flight was when we flew with stops and layovers was to Chengdu , China . It was 32 Hr. Surprisingly , we handled it quite well. Have you been to China ? It's a beautiful country. Enjoy your time in Hanoi, Vietnam. We enjoyed our time there. Sending you much love❤ from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Good morning Vietnam. Glad to learn that you and 'the big cheese' have safely arrived in Hanoi, albeit wearily. Hanoi ? you pick the most unusual places. In the future when you reminisce about your world travels, I am sure that the trips with your Dad (and Mom) will be the most meaningful and memorable. All the best Ms. Mcleod and Mr. Mcleod. Go do Hanoi.
oh wow i'll give Mr Mcleod a big high five for surviving a 14hr flight in the middle seat! 😱I could never do that! One these days I like go to Tokyo but the long haul flights just freak me out.
Alina you are very pleasant and your dad is awesome. Respect you for talking care of your dad and giving him an opportunity to explore. Enjoy and god bless you both.
So cool. My mother turns 60 next month and I am bringing her to Asia for 2 weeks as a gift to Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore. Regarding the flight length I did many 10+ hour ones but one I remember was with Cathai Pacific Chicago- Hong Kong 16 hours.. economy… awful but I survived. Enjoy Vietnam Alina!
My longest single flight was 19 hours. Newark to Singapore. On the Singapore Air A350-900 ULR. It was part of 3 flights to get to Bangkok. YYZ->EWR->SIN->BKK. With connections, it was something like 30 hours +/- an hour. Can't remember.
You may as well take a cruise that starts in The Couver, goes up the coast to Alaska, across the Aleutians, down to Kamchatka/Petropavlovsk, stopping in Japan. Then another cruise from Japan to Nam. You arent in a hurry so may as well be relax and enjoy the trip on a boat.
My longest flight? Vancouver to Melbourne, almost 17 hours non stop. Loved visiting there, hope to see you tour Australia sometime. Look forward to watching your adventures in Asia, besy wishes to you and your Dad.
Alina was my mom's name, I didn't know it can be an english name too. Your videos and relationship with your dad are adorable. Enjoy and God bless you so much 💗 🙏
Hey Alina. Good to see you back in Vietnam, my Asian favorite place. I will be watching your videos for sure. Don't miss Sapa and Hagiang. I'd like so much to see your videos over there. Take care.
Hi Alina, First of all, I concur with so much that has already been said. So I will just comment on that look on your face, at the 6:59min mark, showing your "pleasure" regarding your long flight. CLASSIC! I'm telling you I had tears in my eyes from laughter! 😂There are no words you could have spoken that would have better expressed exactly what you were thinking and feeling. We could feel the agony, exhaustion and the "I'm so done with this." You were like ..."really 🤨" Gotta' love it 😊 Thanks for the unintended levity. That is often the best kind. Here's wishing YOU the very best while there!
Vietnam has always been high on my list of countries I'd love to visit - I'm looking forward to the series! There's something uniquely awful about Air Canada's 777 seating configuration though, I flew from Frankfurt to Calgary on one last year; it was the most cramped and uncomfortable economy class I've ever flown. Never again 😵💫
I once did Frankfurt to San Francisco via Lisbon within 17 hours and almost slept at immigration. Getting up at 3 in the morning, arriving at 5 in the evening in Millbrae.
Hi Alina Hope you have a great trip Your father looks very well after a very long trip The longest trip i took was form Libya to Vancouver B _C via London In one very log day
Great video. Just liked and subscribed 👍🇨🇦 Alina, love you and your dad. Your like the glass is half full. Meanwhile your Dad says Damn glass is only half full! Can’t wait to see upcoming videos
If you have plan to go to Thailand I recommend to go to Loy krathong and Lantern festival in Chiangmai it’ll be hold on Nov 27-29, don’t miss because people from all over the world come to this beautiful festival every year
When I fly long haul, I have a rule that if I am awake, I get up and walk around the aircraft at least once an hour. For this reason, I always prefer wide body aircraft with the two aisles, you can use the galleys to cut through and form a quasi walking path. I have only ever done a 14-hour flight from ICN to JFK and fortunately it was in business class on A380. Even there I had a hard time making 14 hours. It felt so good to get off of the plane. I am not sure I could do 14 hours in an economy cabin, unless maybe it was JAL's roomier economy.

Thank you very much! :)
I'm wondering if the two of them will do a "face time" sort of thing with the mom back in Canada.
My son swears by the Amex card. I just can’t get past the fee. I thought he said his fee was $800.

My longest flight was from Amsterdam to Miami, I told you about my Canada plans some weeks ago, if I will take a flight it will be Vancouver directly, it is around 9,5 hours. If I go for are more ambitious plan it will be by ship to Halifax and discover parts of Canada from there. Enjoy your stay and I will see your next vid 🙂
Can’t wait to follow your adventures!!!
It's so wonderful you are taking your father with you on your trip! My father and I are close as well and so I would love to do that with him, however, he wouldn't dare travel internationally nowadays with the craziness this world has to offer. But I WILL do it someday!
Hello, hope you and dad are doing ok after that long flight. The longest flight was when we flew with stops and layovers was to Chengdu , China . It was 32 Hr. Surprisingly , we handled it quite
well. Have you been to China ? It's a beautiful country. Enjoy your time in Hanoi, Vietnam. We enjoyed our time there. Sending you much love❤ from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki
That is very long! No haven’t been to China yet but would be great to visit.
Your Dad is so cute, hope he will have a good time in Vietnam.
Good morning Vietnam. Glad to learn that you and 'the big cheese' have safely arrived in Hanoi, albeit wearily. Hanoi ? you pick the most unusual places. In the future when you reminisce about your world travels, I am sure that the trips with your Dad (and Mom) will be the most meaningful and memorable. All the best Ms. Mcleod and Mr. Mcleod. Go do Hanoi.
oh wow i'll give Mr Mcleod a big high five for surviving a 14hr flight in the middle seat! 😱I could never do that! One these days I like go to Tokyo but the long haul flights just freak me out.
Alina you are very pleasant and your dad is awesome. Respect you for talking care of your dad and giving him an opportunity to explore. Enjoy and god bless you both.
So cool. My mother turns 60 next month and I am bringing her to Asia for 2 weeks as a gift to Hong Kong, Bangkok and Singapore. Regarding the flight length I did many 10+ hour ones but one I remember was with Cathai Pacific Chicago- Hong Kong 16 hours.. economy… awful but I survived. Enjoy Vietnam Alina!
That’s awesome! Hope you guys have a great time!
My longest single flight was 19 hours. Newark to Singapore. On the Singapore Air A350-900 ULR. It was part of 3 flights to get to Bangkok. YYZ->EWR->SIN->BKK. With connections, it was something like 30 hours +/- an hour. Can't remember.
You may as well take a cruise that starts in The Couver, goes up the coast to Alaska, across the Aleutians, down to Kamchatka/Petropavlovsk, stopping in Japan. Then another cruise from Japan to Nam. You arent in a hurry so may as well be relax and enjoy the trip on a boat.
Nice one
Did a Christchurch to Amsterdam 30 hours trip recently. Never again.... Completely destroyed me.
Watching from London, Ontario, nice VDO!!! Enjoying your time in VN❤
Enjoyed your video and so impressed with you travelling with your Dear Dad. So special.😊
Your dad is so precious ❤
Hey, I used the same sunscreen and I liked it very much. I usually bought it off Amazon and been using it for more than 2 years 😂
My longest flight? Vancouver to Melbourne, almost 17 hours non stop. Loved visiting there, hope to see you tour Australia sometime. Look forward to watching your adventures in Asia, besy wishes to you and your Dad.
Yeah those Australia flights are something else
Alina was my mom's name, I didn't know it can be an english name too. Your videos and relationship with your dad are adorable. Enjoy and God bless you so much 💗 🙏
Love watching you and your dad travel again. You are such a wonderful daughter. Viewer from Australia.
Thank you so much!
Love your thumbnail!! 😂
Have a wonderful time and enjoy your travels in SE Asia. Great to see your Dad with you!! 😊
Hey Alina. Good to see you back in Vietnam, my Asian favorite place. I will be watching your videos for sure. Don't miss Sapa and Hagiang. I'd like so much to see your videos over there. Take care.
Hi Alina, First of all, I concur with so much that has already been said. So I will just comment on that look on your face, at the 6:59min mark, showing your "pleasure" regarding your long flight. CLASSIC! I'm telling you I had tears in my eyes from laughter! 😂There are no words you could have spoken that would have better expressed exactly what you were thinking and feeling. We could feel the agony, exhaustion and the "I'm so done with this." You were like ..."really 🤨" Gotta' love it 😊 Thanks for the unintended levity. That is often the best kind. Here's wishing YOU the very best while there!
Haha thank you very much!
Vietnam has always been high on my list of countries I'd love to visit - I'm looking forward to the series! There's something uniquely awful about Air Canada's 777 seating configuration though, I flew from Frankfurt to Calgary on one last year; it was the most cramped and uncomfortable economy class I've ever flown. Never again 😵💫
Cool start for a cool journey! Keep up keeping up :)
So happy to see you on the road again!
I once did Frankfurt to San Francisco via Lisbon within 17 hours and almost slept at immigration. Getting up at 3 in the morning, arriving at 5 in the evening in Millbrae.
Love to see your dad happy face. Thanks for share
Arrived in Vietnam! Enjoy the warmer temperatures. Had I the opportunity, I would also escape the winter. Hope that the trip will be enjoyable!
So jealous!! Safe travels. Love getting to bring people into the lounge for the first time!!
It’s so lovely 😁
Hi Alina

Can’t wait to see upcoming videos
Thank you!

If you have plan to go to Thailand I recommend to go to Loy krathong and Lantern festival in Chiangmai it’ll be hold on Nov 27-29, don’t miss because people from all over the world come to this beautiful festival every year
Great to see you always. Lots of love from Montreal
When I fly long haul, I have a rule that if I am awake, I get up and walk around the aircraft at least once an hour. For this reason, I always prefer wide body aircraft with the two aisles, you can use the galleys to cut through and form a quasi walking path. I have only ever done a 14-hour flight from ICN to JFK and fortunately it was in business class on A380. Even there I had a hard time making 14 hours. It felt so good to get off of the plane. I am not sure I could do 14 hours in an economy cabin, unless maybe it was JAL's roomier economy.
Make memories as much as you can !
