    One of the things I love about you and your lovely family's content is how real and raw y'all are esp Mom and Dad with your emotions. Thank you for being human and real and for taking us along in your journey. I relate to the emotions and the stress of non-reving as an airline retiree myself and it just makes me appreciate and enjoy your videos even more. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and the Family. Much Alofa!!!

    Absolutely fantastic. What an amazing pillar of strength and an example of a father husband and human being you are. Just because you are a man doesn’t mean that you can’t show your feeling. It also shows your family that emotions are normal and not to hide them. My 14 year old son is wanting to start a career as a pilot. What a role model. Beautiful family!!

    Paul, don’t ever change anything about how you edit and produce your videos. So genuine and exciting to see the adventure. Congrats on the success of the channel. Merry Christmas!

    I'm getting old. When I saw Paul get emotional I also got emotional. "I'm not crying you're crying". I love the vulnerability shown by Paul. It made the video more moving.

    @rugger8136 Před 8 měsíci +16

    I don’t know why you getting emotional when you got your seats made me emotional! Such a feel good video, your kids are so lucky to have such an awesome dad. Thank you for sharing!

    @maryblue75 Před 5 měsíci +7

    My dad was a pilot. I miss him. We flew standby everytime, and i miss it so much, and i miss my dad. He was a lucky guy he flew military and commercial 40 years. Flew from doubledecker spitfire f84g then 727 747 airbuses and all.
    He was very silent though, and i see those videos to feel closer to those times.
    I am not entitled to flying standby anymore, company of dad closed, so that s cks completely.
    My dad didnt feel like taking us journeys though he wanted to just be at home, he played violin amazingly.
    You are doing a great job showing your kids the world.
    Later on there will be no time.
    I remember flying in cockpit on my moms lap me and my sister all 3 on the jump seat for a 30‘ flight where dad was flying .(city to island).

    As a member of an airline family trips like these are never forgotten. Personally it was trips like these that taught me exactly how small our planet really is, it opened up my eyes to different people, cultures, and ways of life. Thank you for using your benefits, and sharing them in such a meaningful way with your family. Safe travels!

    I think it is impossible not to shed a tear or two in this video, I know I did! Paul...Amazing content as always! I am a Dentist whose childhood dream and passion was to become a pilot. Regardless of my current occupation which I absolutely love, I have always known I would end up in the skies someday and not just as a passenger. You have inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a pilot which I will soon see it through. As I soar the skies, there will always be a cloud or a star with your name on it for inspiration. God bless you and your wonderful family Paul, thank you for the genuine heartfelt content!

  • @julianbog1
    @julianbog1 Před 8 měsíci +10

    So many great moments, feelings and emotions in this video. Everyone being themselves, kids being kids, adults valuing a true friendship, celebrating love and you capturing it all. Your content is always such a pick me up moment for me. Thanks for keeping it up!

  • @ruthnoronha8206
    @ruthnoronha8206 Před 3 dny

    Your trips solo or with family are full of wonder. I feel I’m right there seeing these places too. When I was young travel in my family together was not affordable. My dad later in his career travelled a lot. He’d come home with stories and experiences we could only dream about. My mom made the biggest sacrifice. She was home with us knowing fully well she might have wanted this adventure too.
    I married a super adventurous guy and we have 2 , 13 yr olds. He would say when they were babies that he’d take them to wonderous places. Fast forward travelling with them is not always fun. When one is up for one thing the other shuts down. And we seem to be on a roller coaster of ups and does. This puts a lot of stress on what we thought was pretty adventurous trip there are things that have improved like the long drives, and the hecticness. They don’t really complain. But doing the same thing is still an issue. In the bloopers it was good to see you too have challenges. Especially when their enthusiasm doesn’t match ours.

    "Dad, pull it together." 😆 Paul I love seeing the glimpses into your family's travels and I love, love, love that these things make you emotional. I love to travel and am realizing at 55 that I'm probably not going to make it to all the places I want to visit (which, let's be honest, are all the places) so video channels like yours help me experience some of the things I am missing. I know the meaning that travel has as a parent, and while your kids are young and aren't aware of it, one day they will know what a special gift you've given them. Then Anders will understand why you were having a tough time pulling it together. 😀

    This video brought back great memories. We were in Vietnam this past September and loved it. I’m a retired airline employee and we chose to fly confirmed all the way. I give you credit for pass riding with the family. I find your videos not only fun but informative. But this one was by far my favorite. Thank you for sharing your journey and reminding me why we really need to go back to Vietnam.

  • @kevinheard8364
    @kevinheard8364 Před 8 měsíci +4

    Just so very wonderful. I want to share something: Your videos and your sentiments are so sorely needed in today's world.... to see something mean that much... and meaningful enough in a world "safe enough to express that" is so touching and so treasured. Yes, I'm a plane enthusiast; but your videos are so special as I get to 'live vicariously' thru them. Happy Holidays to you and yours. I have a cold confession: I had visions of military police and just "coldness" .... wow, such a treat. Thanks again for sharing.

  • @coasttocoasters
    @coasttocoasters Před 8 měsíci +3

    I absolutely love your videos Paul, not just because I’m also a pilot and myself and my family love to travel, but because you show genuine emotions. Thank you for not editing out scenes where you show true feelings, and teach your children that it’s ok to have feelings and express them.

    My father was an aircraft mechanic for TWA and then American when they got bought over. Non revving was always so nerve racking, and although a lot of times I remember being bored, I always enjoyed the adventure of going somewhere and especially looking at the planes from the gate. We mostly went to Mexico, but I was fortunate enough to go to Italy and France on a couple of occasions as a kid.
    Fast forward 25 or so years and I left my former career in public safety and bumped right back into the world of airplanes again. I just hit my year mark with an airline as a ramp agent and have non reved 12 trips. I’m hoping to grow in this industry although I am not sure which direction it may take me.
    I had a medical situation that I’ve been dealing with recovery for the last couple of months but am hoping to see if I can pass a first class medical in the near future to see if flying might be a viable path.
    Thank you for sharing your experience I hope to some day see Vietnam.

  • @dspiel
    @dspiel Před 7 měsíci +1

    I hope you're able to read many of your comments. I had watched this video when you first posted it and found it so inspiring. I was surprised to then see you mention that it was one of the lesser-viewed videos of the year. When I watched this, I was thinking that this completely captured how your "passion is encouraging you to explore this beautiful world." And no better way than with your family. I'm a pediatrician but started watching your channel out of an aviation interest. This video, though, inspires me for my own journeys. Fittingly, my partner is Vietnamese and so I have a number of upcoming explorations there.

    Great video, Vietnam is a beautiful country. I was a GI there '67&'68 and want to go back. Love your videos.
