Bass Lake - Is This California's Best Lake?
Uugghhh...just gross. I wish I wouldn't have wasted my time. It's got a '70s alcoholic old man vibe and smell, building 1 must have been a smoking area at some point, and it's just nasty shower etc., wish I could post pictures. Do yourself a favor and don't come here... unless they pay you.
How did you find the bed and breakfasts? Darling!
We loved them! Even if it wasn't a full Irish breakfast, it was very filling.
Did you have to pay to sit together? Some budget airlines make you pay even during check-in.
We did not pay to sit together. We gambled by not paying for seats and asking to be seated together at check in. The flight was not full so they were able to seat us next to each other.
Nice video. Did you drive back to Dublin? Trying to plan for driving time, did you spend one night in each place? Thanks!
Thanks! We spent 1 night in each town except Dublin (2 nights). We did drive from Galway to Dublin, it's supposed to take just over 2 hours but we kept stopping in charming little towns so it took is 5 hours.
My 2 favorite Cities of all of Mexico!! But San Miguel de Allende takes the cake!
Agreed!
Thanks for replying to my email. We are in PVR this weekend. Looking forward to visiting Mazatlan next year, maybe! 💙✈️🌎. Another Great video !
Please send Thailand pictures you have some of my pictures of James bond island tour , it will be great if you share those as promised
Do you still use your right foot to drive?
Yes! For us it's too much of a brain switch to use our left foot.
My wife and I stayed at a hotel very close to Ollantaytambo next to the Urubamba River and the hotel had a cat and it walked inside our room and just laid down on our bed with us.🤣 It was the cutest thing ever. Made our whole Peru experience memorable.❤️
🥰 Maybe cats just come with the rooms in Ollantaytambo! I did appreciate the kindness that the locals showed to both humans and cats.
It’s a very lovely hotel but very poor service. Slow. Disorganised. More like 4star for that reason. Not sure if it changed over time but as someone who’s stayed at many 5star hotels around the world this was the worst one I’ve stayed at. The town is beautiful but the hotel staff are badly managed and nothing like this review. It’s not the oberoi or even close.
Thanks for the info - that's too bad. I hope the service improves, it's such a special place..
We own a timeshare here El Cid, marina beach is our favourite of all El Cid resorts we used to go into town for dinners but now we do all inclusive. It’s great you can go to all three resorts and use the facilities and restaurants, recommend Brazilian night at the Grenada and their pool is really quiet during the day. Beach at marina is awesome . Great video !
Thanks so much! I agree, El Cid Marina is a gem. Many choose the beachfront El Cid instead not realizing how much quieter the El Cid is and how private their beach is.
My wife and i are booking an alaskan cruise today on this ship, but we are questioning whether may or september is best, we have been on a may alaske cruise before.
That's a tough one. May has drier weather, but September increases your chances of seeing wildlife. Since it is the shoulder season of cruising, you may find that the ship is not very full. Have fun!
@@RnRquicktrips thanks for the info.
I realize that some folks love ABB but it take home off the market for locals 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 and that leads to HOMELESS .. but it was so nice😢😢😢 resort
That is true. Although the home owners for this particular home will be moving back in a few years. And this house is beautiful!
This is just so crazy to see my freshman math teacher and his beautiful wife soooo long after I graduated! Miss you Mr.Villar! Rah Rah Cougars
Wow!!! It has been a long time! What year did you graduate? Thanks for watching!
@@RnRquicktrips 2004! Time flies! Glad to see you guys are doing well!
Thank you so much for the detailed video, we are planning to go in September end and yea Flam is in our list after watching your video I am all the more exciting to visit flam... I have a couple of questions about the zipline, while returning you guys took a bike till flam right?.. I have 3 questions, 1. Is there any other option other than bike? Like hike to the nearest station and then board a train? 2. Also is the hike safe? 3. And the tickets on this routes needs to be prebooked? Thank you so much in advance 😊
Do not go to Norway without visiting Flam! We booked the zipline/bike as a package. You can do the zipline and then walk to the bottom. We noticed some people taking the zipline did not purchase tickets in advance (it was very casual). I'm not sure about catching the train back down after ziplining, but there were many people walking down. It is a very safe road with not a lot of traffic.
I had so much fun at stone island!
Yes you did! No more monkeys though.
Excellent video, we plan taking advantage of this offer for our anniversary. Is late September still warm in Vegas?
Thank you! Vegas in September will be warm to hot, a good time to use the lazy river. Have fun!
@@RnRquicktrips when did they make you do the presentation. At the beginning, middle or end of your stay? Also how expensive was it to eat and drink? Thank you!
@@sgt4623 We did ours in the middle of the stay, they ask you to do the presentation on day one or two. The food was a bit expensive in the pub-style restaurant, but the pizza place was was delicious and inexpensive.
@@RnRquicktrips thank you so much for the fast response. We are finally booking tomorrow. Our plan is to use the shuttle to eat off site since there doesn’t seem to be much options at the resort. Thanks again!
@@sgt4623 You are welcome! Eating off site is a great idea, so many options. Have a great trip!
How'd you get the stay for free? They are asking for $349 even with the presentation now.
Yikes! We did a presentation through Hyatt at the Lawrence Welk Resort in San Diego, and our "gift" was a 3 night stay at any of their timeshare properties, so we chose the Sirena del Mar. $349 is still a good price for that property, but free is always better.
Cool! Great video! Thanks! We're going in October! 😃
Lucky! Have a great trip.
Great video - I'll be there in 6 days time! :)
Thank you! Have a great trip, I'm sure it will be beautiful.
This was a good video. Please share what are the must-try dishes in the main dining room.
The grilled fish (except the salmon) were all very good, the pastas and pulled pork were some of our favorites. Lobster night was awesome (you could order more than 1 plate), and all of the desserts were delicious. I tried every dessert.
Please share what shows you recommend & what days do they have these shows?
What day was lobster night? Was it the 1st or 2nd sea day? Need to make sure I eat in the main dining room on lobster night.
What specialty dining specials did RC offer on the 1st day?
I'm sorry to say I don't remember, but the prices were cheaper than if you booked specialty dining prior to the cruise. My brother in law had booked one specialty dining in advance (the steakhouse) and when he saw the special offer on the first day of cruising he canceled his original booking and rebooked it at the new promotional price. Reuben and I did not book any special dining and were fairly pleased with the food in the main dining room.
So proud of my beautiful city❤
You are very lucky to live in Bergen!
@@RnRquicktrips Thank you ❤️🤩 Yes, i'm feeling very lucky and blessed indeed. Fun fact: the train ride you made from Flåm to Myrdal? Flåmsbanen, my grandfather were one of the builders of that railway stretch. He even got a medal from the king of Norway at the time for it🤩 He told me that they dug and built it mostly by hand..it was too steep for most machinery to work with .. 1 month = 1 metre railway 🤩
@@ingunnelisenitter-nerland2208 That is so cool! He definitely deserves a medal, I can't imagine what it took to build that railway!
I flew Norse from Miami to London, and Oslo back to Miami. The seats were comfortable, and the entertainment was decent. You definitely don’t want the meals. They charge $30 for disgusting microwave meals that were very small, and could likely have been bought in a dollar store. I use to advise using foreign carriers for better food. Not anymore. Bring your own food. Otherwise, not bad for a budget airline.
Agreed! We were thrilled to get to Oslo for a low price, but we brought our own food. There were several passengers onboard grumbling about the cost and taste of the meal served.
Which circuit trail did you take inside Machu Picchu? I think this year there are 10 different ones.
There are s total of 5 circuits. The tickets we bought allowed us to use circuit 1 or 2, we chose to do circuit 2 which is the "classic" route that allows you to go along the upper and lower paths inside Macchu Picchu.
Hi just wanna know what time did you guys were out of the ship on the last day?
We had to be off the ship by 9am. We walked off at exactly 9am so we could eat the biggest breakfast possible!
FULL kitchen but NO STOVE ?
Yes, Hawaii often has no stoves in the resorts.
Nice review!
Thank you!
Hi, great video. How about safety? I booked a flight as it offered a good conenction flight to Peru. So I need to spend there 1 day. If I go to tourist area directly from airport (with airport taxi) and go to a safe hotel and only spend time in touristic area, will I be safe?
Yes, that's what we did. We stayed at a lovely Marriott (that had security out front), and spent most of our time on the Malecon near the ferris wheel, which is a popular tourist area that is quite safe. We recommend not having any expensive cameras or accessaries out in public. Enjoy!
Viva Guayaquil carajo ,,,,belleza mi Ecuador...
Estoy de ecuerdo!
This is great! About to do every itinerary in this video. By the way, which side is ideal to be for views on that train ride from Oslo? Also, what time did you two do the zipline? Trying to also avoid the huge crowd.
We sat on the left side, which may have slightly better views, but both sides are great! We did the early afternoon zipline, I think it was around noon or 1pm.
When you porches ticket you pay the seats too any airlines
You can purchase seats on some other airlines through Norse. is that what you are asking?
I feel funny asking you this question however all the prices you mentioned are they in pesos over in US dollars
US dollars! Mexico is very inexpensive.
My parents have had this time share for over 20yrs. We have USED it a TON ober the years. Was just there a few weeks ago. We have family that lives there so we just stay there but explore ALLLLL of Vegas.
That's awesome! It's a fun place.
How long to walk to the old church?
About 20 minutes. Highly recommend it, the walk is beautiful. If you can't walk it, there is a little tram that looks like a mini train you can take there and back.
Hello, could you tell us the tour from Cusco to Ollamtaytambo? Thanks.
We used Come See Peru Tours and they were excellent.
Please send my photos and videos from James bond island,my mail id is saved in your notes
Great video ❤
Thank you so much!
Norse is one of my favorite airlines! The seats are comfortable, the planes are new, the legroom is the same as any other airline (including legacy carriers). The only difference is you don't get a meal, but I'm happy to pay $20 onboard if it means I save $400 (!) compared to other carriers who offer 'free' meals.
We opted to bring our own food and snacks. For the price, we think Norse is a great deal.
I’m going with my husband and 5 yr old. I’m just now realizing it’s a level 4 of do not visit. What was your overall feeling of safety? I’m considering cancelling if there’s any risk.
We felt perfectly safe when we were there. We also just went to Mazatlan in late May and felt the same way. There are many tourists in Mazatlan right now and if you stick to the tourist areas you will be safest.
@@savanasandberg3523 my theory on Mazitlan and the rest of Mexico, if you go looking for trouble you will find it in Mexico. Enjoy your trip!
Fantastic! Just about every other video I have watched has an itinerary that aims to push through and get those miles DONE!! There is so much alternative food for thought here. I love that you took your time, planned it out (because none of this happened by accident!) and mainly avoided the crowds. I hate the thought of travelling all day as with NIAN and loved your presentation of Flam as a credible place to stay. Thanks very much.
Thank you so much for the comment. Our intent was to enjoy Flam and not just breeze through, thanks for noticing!
Did they just give you the bora bora room or did u request it?
They gave it to us. What a deal!
Do you have a list of your itinerary?
The itinerary is our first comment under the video.
Can I just skip the presentation and pay $99 for my stay?
Probably...you would have to set up the presentation to get the free with $99 deposit package, then skip the presentation and be charged. If you do this, book the presentation for the end of your trip so that they don't hound you when you skip out.
My friend said theres water slides...guess she was wrong.
No slides, just a lazy river.
Cancun resort has waterslides
What month were you in Norway?
We were there the second week of June. We had beautiful weather, the Norwegians told us it was unusually warm for early June.
lost me at 1 minute in.. Over an hour check in line F that
Yes, that sucked. But that was the worst part of the trip.
interesting. this city gets a lot of bad rep. i appreciate this positive exposure
Yeah FOR GOOD REASON!
