it didn't make any sense to exchange to US which is a horrible exchange to begin with for CDN right now then change it back over to DONG if I'm looking at only saving a few dollars??
I guess it all depends in what a persons definition is of a good exchange vs convenience. I like convenience 
If your concern is convenience, then I'd suggest converting loonies to greenbacks at home. You'll have no problem changing or spending USD in Viet Nam. The exchange rate is irrelevant: your currency is currently weak. The real question is where will it be easier to change your money into something more useful in Viet Nam, at home or in-country? It's a no-brainer.
