Good morning bye Vietnam!

After just under a week spent in Pax Jolie-Pitt's native country, the Brangelina brood is on the move again, as Angelina Jolie finally decamped the Asian nation with Shiloh, Zahara, Vivienne, Knox, Pax and Maddox (stylish as ever in their matching hats) from the Con Dao airport.

So where was papa Brad Pitt?

The (not-so) soon-to-be retiree left the country on Monday—after spending some no doubt much needed one-on-one time with his better half over the weekend—attending the premiere of Moneyball in Seoul.

In any case, from the looks of their airport departure, the vacation did Angelina a world of good—unlike her usual hurried, paparazzi-ignoring tactics, Angie actually stopped, flashed that A-list megawatt smile and (gasp) even gave a friendly wave to the shutterbugs, thus probably doing more to recommend the region than any tourism department could ever hope to achieve.

According to local reports, after assistants helped the younger children board the flight (along with some 50 pieces of luggage), Angelina, Pax and Maddox returned to the gate to say goodbye to the airport staff.

"Con Dao is very beautiful," she reportedly said. "My kids like the island very much. We hope to return here in the future." (We're guessing a little of her personality got lost in translation.)

During their stay, the family hit up local eateries, toured different Ho Chi Minh neighborhoods, flew to a popular vacation resort on Con Dao Island and even paid a visit to the Con Dao Prison.

It's unclear whether the group is flying back to the U.S. or meeting up with Pitt on his promotional rounds, but wherever they land we're guessing paparazzi will be waiting.
