Wonderful footage! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your next adventure 💞
Thanks, a new series from Silverseas Silver Ray should start in early January!
I've been looking forward to this review!❤
Glad you're enjoying the journey!
Darren, watched all of your African adventures and really enjoyed them! Good for you two! Your videos were great and your photos exceptionally vivid. Your review of the train was very informative and honest. Just returned from Regent Mariner 11/17-12/11 Miami r/t to Manaus, Brazil on this 24 night voyage. The Amazon was wild but lots of smoke with fires. Best wishes to you Both! Marla and Gene
We are so glad you enjoyed the videos, Marla and Gene! Our final video from Egypt will be published this weekend. We will be boarding Silverseas Silver Ray on Thursday to travel through the Panama Canal!
Thank you for sharing your SA adventure. We thoroughly enjoy your VLOGs. Question; How do you prepare itineraries, know what to see, get reservations in advance of your travels so to maximize your days in country as you do? And what's next on your future travel schedule???
We spend a hell of a lot of time on RUclips to figure out what to see, and then we decide upon days at each stop. Advanced registrations are all done through websites.
Also, our next trip starts this Thursday. A 14 night cruise on Silverseas from Ft Lauderdale to Lima Peru via the Panama Canal.
@@DJTravels Thank you for your reply. You do an amazing job pre-planning. It makes your VLOGs all the more interesting. The editing, sound and images are excellent. Regarding Panama Canal, that is one of our favorite cruise itineraries. Did it on Seabourn and Regent. Cruise lines pay extra for early AM entry so you have all day with sunlight to see it. The ships hired a local expert who gave historical and interesting facts thru the entire passage. On the Pacific side is the 'Interpretive Center' for the canal with bleachers to watch ships traverse. We found it worthwhile to visit. Looking forward to your Panama Canal VLOG. Safe travels...
Thanks for the info. We will make the most of passing, for sure!
Ah, there is always a gift shop at the end! Splendid video!
So true!
Do I sense a accent with your wife?
Just an east coast accent. Maryland born and raised!
@DJTravels that is funny ! I am DMV born and raised myself !! I am often mistaken for down south heritage girl, but nope.
@DJTravels I am traveling with MSC cruise line for their European tour soon. Wish me happy cruising 🙂
Such a beautiful resort! Thanks for the wonderful tour.
Thanks, it was a fantastic location!
So ready to follow along on your next adventure. Really enjoy your travel VLOGs! Now that’s the way to travel! The lounge in Dubai was just unbelievable. Thanks for taking us along!
We're glad you're enjoying the journey!
Fascinating narrative along with spectacular photography and videography. Thanks so much for sharing your adventure!
Thanks for watching, we’re glad you enjoyed it!
I'm so happy that you got to see and experience some of our beautiful country. Thank you for showcasing the gorgeous scenery that makes our part of the planet so uniquely special. May your future travels be just as inspiring and exciting. Thank you for sharing! 💞
This was my favorite part of the African continent!!
Great job as always.
Thanks so much, we appreciate that!
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm new to your channel. It's wonderful to see people that are my age and look like me. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks so much for watching and glad you are enjoying the videos!
I was interested in your comparison with the Orient Express, having done both trains I wholly concur with your appraisal!
Glad to know I am not the only one!!
Fantastic review. This was extremely helpful. Thank you for sharing. 🩷 You two are such a beautiful couple!
Thanks so much, we appreciate that!. You must be doing some serious binging!!
Great video. Thank you for sharing. 🩷
Thanks for watching!
I love the Maryland shirt Johnetta wore at the Pool House lunch. Great overall video. Thank you for sharing. 🩷
We're glad you enjoyed the video!
Very cute photos at the Christ Redeemer statue. Wonderful excursion video. Thank you for sharing. 🩷
We are so glad you enjoyed the video! We thought the Christ Redeemer was an amazing spot.
You two are such a beautiful couple! I’m loving your videos. Thank you for sharing. 🩷
Wonderful sea day video 🩷
Love the style of documenting your experience. Great job! 🩷
This was a wonderful tour. Thank you for sharing. 🩷
Wonderful tour of your suite! 🩷 Thank you for sharing.
You captured some really beautiful shots.
Thanks, next week I will show pictures from a Safari lodge called Matetsi! Tune in!!
So glad I found you! You do a great job. I enjoy your posts. You and your wife are appealing.
Thanks so much, we’re glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Wow, 18 miles per gallon is excellent, we are looking to buy one. Thank you so much !
We have only taken it out twice (Michigan and a two nighter in Florida) but we are pleased with the purchase. Going up to NC next week for Thanksgiving and will be boondocking at Cracker Barrel or the GA welcome center and then moochdocking in her brother's drive way for a couple of nights. Stay tuned for that journey!
Nice, how many miles per gallon?
On the trip detailed in further videos (Upper Peninsula of Michigan), we averaged a little over 18mpg. I thought that was pretty good!!
Looks like a breathtaking experience.
It was a nice trip!
Thanks so much for sharing! We are booked on this ship for a 2026 cruise and am wondering if you felt any sea motion being at the back of the ship? Thanks!
The back sways a little more, but Johnetta is highly prone to motion sickness and she never had a problem. As long as you stay on the middle decks (6,7,8), the motion will be minimal.
My wife and I sold our UTB because of the shower. We have the Unity MBL on order because I think the shower looks much more usable. Can you actually get a decent shower?
Yes, that is one of the reasons we chose the MBL. We are not big people, and we have lots of elbow room while bathing. If you don't mind me asking, what percentage of your purchase value did you recoup when you sold? After we put three years in this one, we want to upgrade to the newer version with the bigger battery capacity, and all inverted outlets.
Fantastic! Cape Town along with Porto, Portugal, and Berlin Germany are the last sights on my bucket list!
Been to Porto and it is great. Never been to Berlin!
Awesome
Thanks
America wants to see the “inflatable tent house”! 😊
In this video ruclips.net/video/0TFpKurdqck/видео.htmlsi=USsk50ubQXTbZZEJ at 05:23, you can see the tent house at our space in Alpena. I will make sure to show the inflation and use in a future video. Possibly in our Alaska series coming this summer!
Excellent video. Thank you very much
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Me and my wife want to be like you two when we grow up!❤
We do like to have fun!!
We ate at the Family!....It was not our favorite, but it was around the corner from our Hotel....our favorite meal was at Seulement Sea
Did not try Seulement. Maybe next time!
Great video and Thank you for the tour
Thanks, hope it was helpful!
daren and johneeta! you are both excellent! keep up the travels and excellent commentary! Thank you!
We are glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos. They’re always well put together. It gives me great insight on my travel decisions. You have chosen some great places. Thank you. AND you two are so down to earth! Such a wonderful couple!!
We appreciate that. We’re glad our videos are helpful!
Looking forward to next video, was thinking of visiting Cape, do you feel safe there?
Yes, definitely. In our next video, we will show the sightseeing stuff we did while in Cape Town. Bear in mind, we did not venture out at night, because Johnetta got sick from the anti malaria medicine. But I hear that sticking to the tourist areas at night was no problem.
I absolutely love your videos. Did you book your trip through a company?
No, this part we booked independently. The only part of this trip that was booked with a company was the 8 days in Egypt. We will show that after a few more epsides!
Thank you both for sharing.
Thanks, we had a great time!
Thanks for sharing, we are flying in 2 weeks Emirates A380 business JFK to MXP, then First Class MXP to DXB transfer to 777 first class to Phuket
Enjoy the A380! Hopefully you will get the game changer suite. But either way, you will be well pampered!!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I appreciate seeing you enjoy as husband and wife. If you have one, would you mind sharing your travel consultant?
Actually we rarely use a consultant. I do 99% of bookings myself.
Really enjoyed your video! Looking forward to seeing Africa through your lens and eyes. Off to Regent Mariner on 15 November for Miami to Amazon r/t. Stay safe! Will think of you in the Compass Rose on our Regent voyage!
Thanks, and hope you and Marla are doing well! Have a great trip. How many nights? We are doing a 14 night through the Panama Canal over the holidays.
@@DJTravels Ahoy from Bay Area! That would be a 24 night cruise to Manuas, Brazil and return with visits to many of the Caribbean islands. Panama Canal cruise is a world event. “ The path between the seas” is a great book on its building.
Bravos!!!
Thanks!
Love it!!!! I can't wait to see what you think of our beautiful Cape Town and the rest of South Africa. I hope that you were treated well and that your experience here allows for good memories. Thank you, as always, for sharing 💞
Thanks, we did and we will be sharing more soon.
What a fantastic experience! Thank you both for sharing with us.
We're glad you enjoyed it!
First class is the only way to fly.
You are right about that! Very expensive, but worth it in our opinion.
Do you plan your own luxurious vacations or use a travel agent. You always travel well.
We usually plan everything ourselves. But, as you will see in a later video, we did use an agent for the Egypt portion of our trip. Some good outcomes from the agent, but also felt ripped off on others.
You two are living the best travel life ever. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow! Love it.
Glad you liked it!
