Hi, thanks for watching. Each country and culture has their own unique systems and customs. Just can’t apply ours to theirs or vice versa. All part of the fun of traveling, but crossing the street can be very daunting to the first timer. I’m just trying to prepare folks who are going there and let them know that it is possible, but a completely different approach to what we are used to. Thanks for the comment.

@EnjoyingRetirement certainly. I have extended family in vn, so im simply hoping they will manage to improve traffic safety in general there over time. Being professional in related field, there are just so many safety "things" i have difficult unseeing, as thats what i do for living. Though to be fair, vn isnt unique in this aspect in asia and they indeed have done progress over the years.

Hi, thanks for watching. Congrats on your retirement. It's a wonderful thing 😊

Hi, thanks for the great comment. You are right, it’s a bit mind boggling how big the show is. Thanks for watching. The lumberjacks or dogs are always a great break during the show.

Hi, thanks for watching. The dogs are great to watch. They have first timers to champions.

Hi, thank you!

Hi, thanks for watching. It is a pretty primitive site that’s not for everybody. I’ve seen some videos of folks who’ve taken their own boat out there and fishing looked great off shore. I couldn’t tell about how fishing is from the island itself, but my snorkeling didn’t reveal very many keeper fish aside from maybe a dinner for the night if you were camping. I believe the fort is the fourth least visited national park in the country, that helps explain why they don’t put a lot of money back into it. Nonetheless, if you have the time and money it’s a unique, worthwhile experience.

Hi, thanks for watching. I appreciate hearing that I’ve given useful information. Both Two Step and Captain Cook are great, but Cook will always get the edge in my book. We are going back next year and will try both again. Two Step is nice for convenience, if you get there early enough to park. Have fun, thanks again.

Hi, here’s the website of the company we used for both the charter and the room: www.millerslandingak.com/ I didn’t post the prices because they change depending on when you go and which type of fish you’re going for. After booking a charter in the Florida Keys I thought Millers Landing was quite reasonable.

Hi, first, thanks for watching. Second, I can’t vouch for Willie Ds, but we were back in Nassau two weeks ago and were disappointed with Goldie’s as well. The serving was about half to 60% of what they served us on our previous trip, the one in the video. Plus the quality and flavor wasn’t as good. The guy in the video was not working the nights we were there. I was hoping it was just a fluke, but after your comment I’m going to change the name of the video. I agree they are no longer the best scorched conch in Nassau.

Hi, thanks for watching. It is definitely a different attitude towards driving and pedestrian rights over there. It’s their country so they get to set the rules and we’d best learn to adapt to it. As I’ve mentioned in other comments I think the skyrocketing ownership of cars and trucks will force some changes in their rules. I saw a couple accidents immediately after they happened, but not what caused them so I can’t comment on whose fault they were. For now we have to be aware of their culture and their rules and do the best we can within their system. That’s what I was hoping to help people with in this video. Take care.

Hi, thanks for watching. The Bahamas are a wonderful place with great people.

Thats great, I’m glad I could help. I hope you have a great trip and adventure to the falls. Thanks for watching and letting me know, it’s good to hear that I’m helping others. Take care.

Hi, that’s the key. It’s a lot easier on roads with mostly scooters. Cars, trucks, vans and busses are changing the game a bit though making it more exciting. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hi, it was easier a few years ago before cars and trucks became so common. But still manageable, however probably not the best place for your first time crossing a street in Vietnam :)

Hi, thanks for watching.

Hi, thank you. So far, so good. Take care.

Hi, yes, I am. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching. Good luck.

That’s great, I’m glad I helped. Thanks for watching.

I’m sorry. Was it a car or scooter that got you? I noticed that’s cars, trucks, and vans play by their own rules unfortunately.

@EnjoyingRetirement scooter with 3 people on it. Luckily, the important parts were spared and I didn't hit my head.

Great, have fun. I hope it’s still as good as you remember.

Hi, thanks for watching. It’s an amazing show. Traffic can be pretty bad on the first weekend, so be prepared for that. Have fun.

@ thanks for the heads up

Hi, thank you. I’m heading back to Nassau next month, is there anything else you would like to see a video about? Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and left a comment.

Hi John, thanks. I’m calling this a once in a lifetime experience. But, if I ever do go back it will be in winter. 4 times the number of alligators in Florida as there are deer in Maryland. Incredible. I’m glad I helped you get thru the day :)

It was a great time. It was my first time on a party boat and I didn't know what to expect. I figured there may be others in the same position who might enjoying seeing how it went and how it worked. I will be back, but next time with a cooler and my own rig with mono. Hopefully during a yellowtail snapper run. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Excellent idea 👍

Hi, thank you. I appreciate the comment. I hope you get a chance to enjoy the falls, they’re beautiful.

Hi, they sure are. I can’t imagine how much work went into them all. Fortunately they were held on by iron nails. When the ship sank, the nails rusted thru, and the carvings fell into the mud which helped preserve them so we can admire them today. If the Vasa hadn’t sunk as it did, it would have ended up being just another ship that served and was repurposed or destroyed in the end and we would never have seen it. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

Hi, thanks. Yes, it was day before yesterday. I didn’t think about temperature at all, it didn’t cool down noticeably at all. About 87 on the ground and I wore shorts and a t shirt and felt fine. I hope this video helps other people know a bit more about what the whole process is like. Definitely an incredible experience.

Hi, thank you. The goggles are safe, we took them off after the free fall portion. They are just needed during free fall due to the velocity you’re going. After that they come off and you just enjoy the view. Thanks for watching.

It was. I highly recommend it. If not Key West, then wherever you can. The Florida Keys are just such a beautiful spot. This company is a first class operation. I will be back.

It really is awe inspiring as you walk through those doors and see it for the first time. I hope my video did it justice and brought back some good memories for you. Thanks for watching.

Hi, thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for watching, it’s an amazing place.

Hi, thank you. It’s always a challenge to know when to go short and sweet and when to go more into detail. This ship is so amazing that I thought it deserved longer and more detail. I’m glad you liked it and let me know.

Hi, I use 3 on the sides and about 10 on the floor.

Hi, thank you very much for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Hi, thank you very much. It’s an amazing ship and a wonderful museum.

Hi, we rented everything but mask, fins, and snorkel the first time we went with them, in this video. The next time we took our own gear. Their rental gear is about the same that you will find on most shops in the area, and Florida. Decent and serviceable. Not great, but I didn’t see any problems or feel any concern about using it. They do like weight belts instead of internal weights though. I had rash guard pants on the second trip and couldn’t get the weight belt to stay in position with the nylon pants, but otherwise all was good. I’d say that if you’re doing multiple days of diving bringing your own gear would be good, but if it’s just one day then you should be fine with their rental equipment. Have fun, thanks for watching.

@@EnjoyingRetirement Thanks for sharing, most helpful.

:) it's actually pretty efficient once you get used to just walking out in heavy traffic

Hi, yes, you’re right. Thank you. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching

Hi, thank you for the feedback. In most of my videos I try to answer the questions I had before I went there thinking that others would find it useful. I'm glad to know that it's helping you. It's a beautiful place and an enjoyable hike. I hope you get some great fall colors.

Hi, I agree with you on treble hooks. They are awful to get out of a mouth of an undersized fish. Almost always results in a dead fish. I have seen that Mepps makes a single hook Aglia spinner now, but they can be hard to find. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Best wishes.

Hi, thanks for watching. It’s a very nice city, we really enjoyed our time there.

Hi John, it’s a big amazing world out there. I’ve got one more video I want to make about Oslo, then I’m going to do a full video on the Vasa. It’s an incredible ship.

Hi, thanks. I sure wish we had trains like they have in Europe, it would change how I travel. I just got back from Chicago and the L trains just aren’t the same :)

Hi. The d rings and their mounts have held up without any problems. This kayak is incredibly well put together. I haven’t seen any issues with any of the seams or glue. It still works great. Thanks for watching.

Glad I could help :) thanks for watching.
