      @@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 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.

    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.

    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! 😊

    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.

    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.

    I am just back from travelling to Rome from Comox Vancouver Island to Vancouver to Munich to Rome. The plane was late arriving in Munich & I had to rebook arriving 5 hrs late in Rome, missing my pre-paid pick-up ($50 E no refunds) I never slept and was exhausted. Left Comox 6 am arrived 8 pm the following nite. Jet lag did me in & I ended catching a really bad cold.

    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.

    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 😂

    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.

    Most airlines pad the flight time by about 45 minutes in case they are stuck at the runway at takeoff or landing. The problem with being early or late many times you have to wait for a gate.

    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.

    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 😵‍💫

    Chicago to Warsaw was a long flight and anytime you cross the pacific it is a long flight because it seems they have to go way up north and touch the Aleutian Islands and come south again.
