I was scrounging around for some music when I remembered, “wait a minute, Izaak has music!”. It’s perfect for this sort of thing.

Nice, have a good trip!

This was the first time taking a train in a long time, first Amtrak for me too. This was the start of a trip to Europe so it ended up being a bunch of trains over the next few weeks 😆

Yeah, I realized that afterwards. It seems so strange at first, but it's kind of a neat feature.

@NooksBackpack Yes, you open only the upper part when, for example in winter, you want to "change the air" (an absolute Italian obsession) but outside is cold and is not a good idea to open the entire window 😉 Hope you liked Italy and that we will see you back soon. I'd give you you a tip hard to find on RUclips, for obvious reasons. In one of your next visits, don't go to the big ones, check Italy's small medieval towns of Tuscany, Marche Umbria and Lazio. Half the cost, few tourists, no traps, no pickpockets, very nice people. You will discover another planet and will thank me. Ciao 👋

I saw that quite a few times, stick with Tuscany and the smaller towns, but for our first time I figured we should see the big stuff. Gives us an excuse to go back!

@@NooksBackpack Of course if you didn't you should but be careful: 2025 is the Holy Year and in Rome we espect approximately 60 million people from all over the planet. I'm Roman and I'm scared just thinking about that 😨

Yeah, you’ll have to stop by baggage claim first, then make your way over to Terminal B. There’s actually 2 ways to get over there, the Skylink is easy and the quickest, but there’s also a bus outside the airport that can run you over to terminal B This has become our standard way of flying, OKC is expensive (especially for a family of 5) and I prefer to fly direct so DFW is the best option. We went to Orlando last year, $290 total roundtrip out of DFW, $1400 out okc 😬

@@NooksBackpack That sounds like a great alternative. Will Rogers airport is so small though, I'm shocked getting a flight out of there and then connecting to Dallas for a longer flight elsewhere is a thing and makes it more expensive because you fly an extra leg. I know airport size has nothing to do with ticket prices, but still. Was it $290 per family member, or overall? Either way, still a lot cheaper!

$290 was for all 5 of us, crazy cheap deal. It was with Frontier so not exactly classy but it did the job. Other than a couple places, flying out of OKC means layovers and I really try to avoid them if possible, especially if we’re flying these cheapo airlines

@@NooksBackpack Nice. I definitely know what you mean about layovers. I'd love to take the Heartland Flyer one day, though it's a bit hard when you're OK-based but not OKC-based (or any of the stops on the HF through OK or TX). So I usually just fly and deal with the layovers, although taking a bus into Dallas could work for me too. Though that could have its own problems, because Greyhound is....well, Greyhound lol. If you know what I mean. Didn't know Frontier still served OKC either - I thought they left the state entirely - guess someone told me some wrong info!

I had some mustard and ketchup packets in there somewhere, it was a very classy train hot dog!

Trains are starting to make a comeback, Amtrak just got a bunch of government money to add a new routes, plus, several cities are adding new lines. Dallas is building onto that Texrail service to cover more of the city. It’s much cheaper (like well over $1000 cheaper) for the 5 of us to fly out of Dallas in most cases vs OKC. Also, it’s rare to find a direct flight out of OKC so training the DFW for a cheap direct flight is becoming our standard way to travel

I loved it, I’m ready to go back 😆

Yeah, that’s where we went first but the beach was a little crowded. We decided to check out Cove Beach and it was much quieter.

This was our first time on it but it was great. It's certainly showing its age but to get a cheap, direct flight out of Dallas it's perfect. I was just watching a video the other day with all the planned additions to Amtrak over the next several years, I'm already planning some trips! :D No one said anything about filming, but I try to be pretty discrete and keep my phone away from folks faces.

I’ve been having a lot of fun putting these videos together so it’s nice to hear folks are enjoying them, thanks for commenting 😁

Great cruise! Of our 3 cruises so far it’s been my favorite ship.

🧀

€70, there’s a few different choices depending on where you want to go. That got us three stops; Carthage, Sidi Bou Said, & the Medina (we skipped the Medina and spent more time at ancient Carthage spots) Once we had him we basically just said, “we just want to see ancient Carthage, take us there” and he tour guided us to several different ruins

Sorry it came out that way, I really liked the gardens. I didn’t know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised.

😆 It was great meeting and chatting with you, Pravus.

I’m gonna have to find a fancier cruise ship, never had one with a horse before!

Main channel gets its own more Civ7 focused, I figured it’s best to stick the Baltimore trip stuff over here

We loved it, I want to go back already!

@@NooksBackpack vi consiglio un canale RUclips. Finestre sui borghi. È un canale che mostra tanti borghi italiani sconosciuti a molti stranieri. Buone giornata a tutti voi dall'italia 👋👋👋

I think bowling was $25/ half hour or $45/hour for one lane. Before the cruise you can buy a game card that is a pretty good deal if you plan on doing that or the f1 racer. I don’t remember exactly but something like $80 for $150 worth of games. None of us got seasick. On our last cruise on the Carnival Liberty (a much smaller ship) some of us felt the waves a bit more. We brought a patch to stick behind your ear and it worked almost instantly. amzn.to/3M5LMLG We brought those patches this time but never needed them

Do you mean travel there without a cruise ship versus visiting for a port day? It was my favorite stop this whole cruise, however, staying in Tunis overnight might have taken me a little too far out of my comfort zone. This was my first trip out of North America so maybe if I was a little more of a seasoned traveler 😁

La Perla Grigia is the main dining room for dinner that’s included. You can also do lunch or breakfast in La Loggia. Those 2 dining rooms and the Buffet are the only “free” places to eat.

Thank you so much ! I’m so appreciate it 👍

Yea, how did you miss this lol.

@@Cio_d-borba completely didn’t know anything about it

I did a ton of research trying to plan for this vacation in Rome and this pyramid never came up. It wasn’t until I was there and looking at Google maps I saw it and looked into it.

@@NooksBackpack Really? I mean, it's not one of the prime attractions or anything, but it's still somewhat known.

@@NooksBackpack same!! I did so much research and thought I included ALL the sites! Guess I missed this one!

I think I hit 20,000 steps that day, lots of walking! This was our final day in Rome so I wanted to make sure we didn’t miss anything 😆
