We are Scott and Julie and are so happy you have found our channel, Miles with McConkey. We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us. After 30 years of working in the corporate world, we decided to go into semi-retirement. We are going to take a couple of years off and travel. Come along with us as we go to most of the National Parks, Disney World, Alaska, Hawaii, Disneyland and as many states as we can. Unlike others, we will not be getting an RV. We love our house and are going to be using it for "home base". We plan on going somewhere every couple of weeks. Life is short and the world is wide. Join us as we travel from coast to coast.

Great video. Thank you.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Where did you get the free bus and where did it go please?
What time of year did you go?
Go Home
Great video series. What month were you there ?
Did you need to request for the Medallion to be mailed to you or did they sent it on their own. Thanks
Awsum video. I am on the Regal on the same itinerary in May 9th. Did you make videos for the balance of the cruise, if so can you PLEASE PLEASE send me the links. Your comments on dress code were extremely helpful. My wife and I will enjoy the balance of the videos. Thanks again.
Ok, I just booked this tour for our April 18th cruise. I’ve watched your video twice and I’m really hoping to enjoy it. I wanted a real Irish experience but didn’t really want to see another castle. Thanks for your great advice and suggestions.
Thank you for this awesome video. I stop at Rocky Gorge every time I'm on the Kancamagus and swim or at least soak my feet...
Long live the British
Have an aft booked for our Alaska cruise in August! Saw your video today and so Happy we booked an aft.
@@lolajtek3676 so excited for you. It will not disappoint, I promise!!! Thanks for watching. ❤️
Living in the UK and sailing from Southampton - a bit of port disappointment is no big thing , because you can always catch them next time round - but you guys having flown from the USA just to do this - i really FELT for you 😢 - to miss the Orkneys AND Paris must have been SO disappointing. If you ever come over again, I'd recommend skipping the port of Le Havre and looking for a British Isles cruise that stops at Honfleur, the prettiest medieval port you could wish for. Also, one that stops at St Mary's in the Scilly Isles 👍
@@mariasharp2334 thank you for this tips. We truly appreciate it. Definitely will look into these ports next time. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Had our wedding reception at Powerscourt ...
@@TomTermini what an amazing place!!! You are so lucky!! 🩷
What time was your train excursion in Skagway please? Did you take the 3 hrs ride? Wondering if 8 AM or Noon train would be better. Thanks!
@@icedteamama176 We did a morning train and were so glad we did. Very thick fog rolled in and the later train people didn’t get to see anything. We ate lunch in the town after the train. I do have a full video version of the whole ride and what we did that day. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching ❤️
When you arrive on a cruise ship...why do these organised trips that take you away from places like Cobh? You hardly had any time to see the places you stopped in! Cobh is so historic..last point the Titanic stopped before its awful tragedy. The Lusitania tragedy happened at sea in the area. Amazing walking history tours relating to both tragedies. Stunning Cathedral and so much more. Cork City is a gorg city..train from Cobh. Midleton Jameson Distillery within distance. Visit East Cork. Ballycotton is a beautiful village..iconic lighthouse...stunning cliff walk. My message is plan your own tour..no rushing..relax..meet Irish people. No imposed timetable..go at your pace. Advice from Irish person.
Our family is doing this cruise next summer and we'd love to know if there are excursion/s options at the ports that are less pricey than the excursions through the ship. We are not new to cruising, only new to Princess, so we understand the risks, however, $1300*8 = $10,400...we're looking to reduce that by half. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
@@bward76 there were booths at each port with companies doing their own excursions. I don’t know the price because we already had ours booked, but I did hear other people say they were cheaper and had a great time. So I do think it’s very possible for you. This is a great trip, you are going to have so much fun. Thanks for watching ❤️
I am so glad I found you guys while searching for Alaska land and sea. Planning this trip for June, 2025 with land portion first. This series made me even more excited and gave me some really good tips. Now, to watch more of your adventures! Take care
@@LJohnson802 thank you so much for your kind comment. We are so excited you are going on this adventure. We had a blast and you will too. Let me know if you have any other questions and I can try to help. Thanks for watching ❤️
Nice hiking traild and video. Thank you for sharing 😊
Nice video, lovely hike. Thank you for sharing 😊
I rode the Skyline in the middle of the night on my Connie 14.. what a cool ride. i dont remember what time of the year it was.. overlooks at night were cool to see all the towns.. and definitely watch for all the wildlife on the road
Amazing
I saw a cougar in Oregon on the trail one time. We both stopped and stared at each other for a solid minute, and than I began to sprint directly at it and it took off.
How much is the Napa valley dome train with 4course lunch?
Check their website because the price changes depending on the day and which lunch you pick. For me and my husband it was like $700 but they have cheaper options.
What time of year were you there?
I SAW A GHOST!!! 0_0

Loved your video. I was born & raised in Cincy. Loved your "Bearcat" cap. My alma mater, class of 1968.
Hello fellow Cincy!!! We have 3 Bearcats in our household. I was born and raise in Cincinnati. So nice of you to reach out and thanks for watching! ❤️

I have GOT to visit Salem. Hopefully next year on October 1st so I can get in to the shops without lines.
I love the way you are thinking. This truly is an amazing place to experience in October. Thanks for watching. ❤️
I may have missed it - it does look cold. What month was your cruise? I LOVE this video. You did such a great job with it. Oh my gosh it's so amazing. We are trying to book a JULY cruise from Seattle to Alaska and there are two aft rooms left.
Definitely get an aft room if you can. You won't be sorry. We did this cruise in mid August. I packed everything from t-shirts and shorts to sweatshirts and a coat and wore all of it at least once. 😁. I am so happy you loved the video. I did an entire video series on this cruise with all the ports. Watching those might help with some attire decisions 😂. You are going to have an amazing time. BEST TRIP EVER!!! Thanks for watching ❤️
Looks like leaves started change already I was always looking update who visit Shenandoah I enjoy watching your video I've got an idea when do I need to visit there thanks for sharing I love that place so amazing very relaxing love the natures
Thank you for your very kind comment. That makes me to happy that you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. ❤️
All power banks must be certified by Princess
Yes, that is true. I did check with Princess when we arrived and was given the go ahead. Thanks for watching. ❤️
P.S. Since a Scot corrected me, I'll pass it along. It's pronounced Edin-BUR-uh. You don't hear the "G" at the end.
Thank you for letting me know. And trust me, I have had numerous comments about my pronunciation. You are not the first and most likely won't be the last. 😂 Thanks for watching. ❤️
I wish I could understand what you are mouthing when you are on the buses! lol I've yet to be able to figure out your words! I need subtitles!
Thanks for sharing 😁 we’re driving the Skyline in late October this year and can’t wait to see the views and colors 😉 What’s up with the hat? It says Norge (Norway), we are first time visitors to Virginia, on a roadtrip from Washington DC to Florida. And we are from Norway 😆
You are going to have an amazing drive!!!!! We are not from Norway, but it is on our bucket list. Scott actually got the hat from Epcot at Disney World in Norway 😁. That how bad he wants to visit someday. Thanks for watching. ❤️
@@MileswithMcConkey You’re more than welcome to our beautiful country 😉
Great video, thank you for sharing. Hubs and I will be doing this cruise on Princess next May. Did you actually take the local currency with you?
Yes, we went to our bank and took both Euros and Pounds with us. We did not spend it all and our bank exchanged it back for us. You guys are going to have so much fun. Thanks for watching. ❤️
How much was your transportation to southampton hotel? Did u pre arrange transportation and how much was it?transportation
The bus we took from the airport to Southampton was $20 a person and yes we did reserve it about 2 months before we arrived. The bus stop was about half a mile from the hotel and we walked to is along with several others that were on our bus. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching. ❤️
You took the long way down to crescent beach
We did? That is good to know for the next time we visit. Such a great place. Thanks for the information and for watching. ❤️
I just went to Multnomah falls last weekend for my brothers cross country meet and we got to stay at a millitary base and we went to the goonies house and short circuit house. My mom told me to do the truffle shuffle infront of the goonie house and after that for the next day i went to the ocean for the first time in my life then we also went to the goonie rock Oregon is truly a beautiful place
We did the same thing!!! We took 3 days driving down the Oregon Coast and our first stop was the Goonies house. Check out that video for some more fun ideas on the coast for your next visit. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Happy Belated 25th Anniversary! 🍾👏🎈
Thank you so much. That is so sweet. Thanks for watching. ❤️
beautiful scenery but too many complaints... count them. lol
Wendy I couldn't agree more. I am working on my complaints. Thanks for your feedback and for watching. ❤️
When it gets foggy in Crescent city you can't see anything. I went to school with a McConkey. Could you be related to a Carolin McConkey?
Yes, that fog was very thick. That is funny that you know a McConkey because it isn't well known. Sorry, we don't know a Carolin. Thank you for watching. ❤️
It’s on Air B n B ! 🎉
Oh good. When we staying it wasn't, so that is good to know for others. It was such a great place to stay. We look forward to going back soon. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Love your video! I recommend using another company for shore excursions to lower cost and go on better tours. I use Viator.
Thank you for that kind comment. It is so nice to hear that others like your video after all the hard work you put into it. We will definitely need to look into Viator. We have not heard of them. Thanks for watching. ❤️
The nearest stop to Wrexham on your itenerary would probably be Holyhead, from there you are probably on average about a 2 hour drive away :)
OMG, I wish we had a longer stay in Holyhead because we would have LOVED to drive to Wrexham. We did get a small Wales flag for a souvenir 😁. Thanks for watching. ❤️
Made me smile to hear you mention my home town of Wrexham - so proud and hope you got to visit.
Just got back from the BEAUTIFUL Oregon coast and plan on returning you guys did a great job gave me ideas on my next trip
The drive on the Oregon coast is the absolute BEST. I LOVED this trip and want to do it again. Thanks for your kind words about our video and we are so happy we could give you some more ideas for your next trip. Thanks for watching. ❤️
It is as I remember, it's time to go back
