Here’s Sylvie and her partner Louis’ plan for a two-month mini round-the-world trip. In a single trip, they visited Western Canada<\/a>, Japan<\/a>, Vietnam and Portugal<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I’m 65 and I’ve been reading Milesopedia for four years now.<\/p>\n

When traveling with my partner, we like Airbnb<\/a> accommodation for the comfort and proximity to more local neighborhoods. We like to walk and use public transport. Since we’re quite active during the day, in the evening we relax over a home-cooked supper.<\/p>\n

The Marriot Bonvoy<\/a> hotel option is new to us. Honestly, it allowed us to take short breaks in these very comfortable hotels during our stay in Vietnam. The other days were spent in hotels with basic comforts, so these short breaks were worthwhile.<\/p>\n

For the past three years, we’ve been traveling with just one carry-on<\/a> and a small 30-liter backpack.<\/p>\n

Our original idea was to go skiing in Japan. Eventually, given the winter there and all the sightseeing we wanted to do, the trip turned into a mini round the world<\/strong> in the fall. Then we decided that if we were going to go to Japan, we might as well take a trip to Vietnam!<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”340168″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”340162″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text el_class=”checkmarks”]<\/p>\n

In planning our itinerary, we had the option of retracing our steps with a flight from Vietnam across the Pacific to Montreal. However, we decided to end this trip by circling the globe, heading back west and stopping off in Portugal. Our mini round-the-world<\/strong> was taking shape!<\/p>\n

The very attractive option of Aeroplan stopovers for just 5,000<\/span> extra points<\/a> made this itinerary much easier.<\/p>\n
