North Carolina Blue Ridge Fun
Просмотров 32Месяц назад
We visited North Carolina for a wedding and had some time to see the sights. We got to experience about a third of the Blue Ridge Parkway and visit Mount Airy, the former home of Andy Griffith and inspired the much rerun Andy Griffith Show's city in the fictional town of Mayberry. We were somewhat limited by the smoke of fires in Canada and some rainy weather but there was still plenty to exper...

Cinque Terre Frozen in Time

Visiting Cinque Terre in Italy is like stepping into a time machine in that the five villages are part of a national park that preserves them as a living monument to their past as fishing villages. We stayed at Riomaggiore and visited both Vernazza and Manarola when we visited in October 2018.

Our perfect weekend road trip is under a half days drive, offers stunning beauty, has many places of interest to stop along the way, while ending up at a place that's both scenic and relaxing. From our home in the Los Angeles suburb of Agoura Hills it's difficult to find a better year round destination than Cambria on California's central coast. This video documents our March 2022 visit and sug...
Unexpected Idaho
Просмотров 992 месяца назад
Our quick weekend visit to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho was NOT what we were expecting. Our notions of visiting a wilderness lodge was completely misguided. What we found instead was a beautiful lake adorned with every luxury we could imagine. Most surprising was the quality of the food, led by a couple of wonderful dinners at "Candle in the Woods" located in nearby Athol. It's a great place for a luxu...
Dry Tortugas National Park's Weird Lesson
Просмотров 602 месяца назад
Visiting Fort Jefferson in Dry Tortugas National Park is something anyone visiting Key West must do. It's like going back in time to witness a military blunder of epic proportions while seeing the Florida Keys like they were before being connected by roads or developed for habitation. While it is one of the less visited National Parks, it definitely leaves an impact on anyone who dares visit. T...
A Better Way to Visit the Long Beach Grand Prix

In this video we walk through what we've learned over the years visiting the amazing Long Beach Grand Prix. Where else can you see cars that participate in the two biggest races in the world (Indy 500 & 24 Hours of LeMans) and isn't Detroit? We used to think that driving there was the best way to visit but now we know better, by boat! We've tried several levels of admission tickets and each has...

8 Recommendations for Yosemite Valley in December 4k

In this video we visit Yosemite Valley in December 2023, one of the least crowded times to go and provide our list for the eight things we would do with first time visitors. Yosemite Valley is the most crowded part of the National Park so it's ideal to visit there when the crowds are among their smallest. Despite so much of the park being closed during winter there's still plenty of things to s...

Route 66: LA to the Grand Canyon and Sedona
Thanks John! Very much looking forward to a NoCal adventure!!
Did you like the idea of places that exceed expectations? We're thinking of coming up with those places for many places. Any recommendations for places in NorCal that meet that description?
10,000 calories per person-the only way to sail!😊
Your right! That’s why we gave so much of the leftovers to the real crew.
What an amazing time! Thank you Christine and Gina for everything! And thank you Captain Julie and Donovan for providing a wonderful and safe adventure. Until the next time....
Great part 1 of an epic road trip
I already posted on Dry Tortugas and Blue Ridge Parkway so I guess that Key West must be coming up. It certainly warrants a video all to itself.
Always fun to watch your adventures!
Glad you enjoyed it! We take requests, anything you'd like to see our opinion on?
@@johnvilja let me think! 🤔
The Blue Ridge Parkway was amazing (and the wedding was pretty spectacular too)! Congrats Cindy and Ryan!!! Love you!
Love Tiny Porch! Great concerts in an amazing venue! Adam Ezra rocks!!
Splendidly magnificent! This vid is one for the books, John-thanks for sharing!🎉
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Cinque Terre is hard to explain in words.
What an amazing place! I love your videos! Well done.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it. Any suggestions on future videos?
Thank you for the upload. Your trips are simply wonderful.
Thank you! Please don't hesitate to offer suggestions of how we could do better. It's a learning process.
Love, love this one! That area brings back so many memories. Our family went on annual trips to Cayucos for many years. And you even stopped in Harmony, population 15! To me, probably the most beautiful coastal scenery anywhere. The whole trip is a winner-thanks so much for sharing, John!
Glad you enjoyed it. If you have any suggestions of other trips we'd welcome them. Thanks!
John- great !later-😮
Thank you! I really appreciate the encouragement.
Looks like fun! How did you pick this location? It’s nice that you could get a direct from Spokane to Los Angeles. That Candle in the Woods looks right up your alley!🎉
My brother suggested we meet there so we went to do a mini family reunion. It was surprisingly easy to fly into Spokane and take the short drive to Coeur d'Alene. A very easy long weekend. The Candle in the Woods was a real find for us.
Thanks for sharing!
this is unbelivable!!!🤫
I think I got the facts right but it's tough to get a complete story on something that old and ultimately so poorly documented.
Thanks for the video! Hubs and I are flying into Vegas from Ohio and spending 6 days touring Zion , Bryce and places in between :)
Sounds like an awesome road trip! Definitely take the short detour through Valley of Fire on the way to Zion. Our favorite trail in Zion was the Valley View hike, but take it early. Here's a link to our video in Zion ruclips.net/video/tc-28qEtv7Y/видео.html
Hey John! Really enjoyed the history of this race. And what a great way to get to the race-so fun! Any chance you will head to Las Vegas for F1?
We really love watching F1 racing even though most races aren't particularly competitive like Indy or sports car racing. Furthermore, the cost of attending in person is ridiculous. General admission for F1 costs the same as the food provided, open bar seats we get at Indy races which have much less predictable outcomes. We keep looking but we're not yet sold on the value of attending F1 just yet.
EPIC
And really spectacular!
I don’t understand how people hurt their eyes, I have found it uncomfortable staring at the sun ever since I could remember. That’s what makes visiting totality (100%) so special.
So glad you saved your eyes!
Great that you were able to share this wonderful place with people who had not yet experienced it. Dig recommendations-have not been there in many years so now I know what to see next time I am there!
It was fantastic to see it while it was uncrowded. Summer there is amazing but it's wall to wall people during that time.
Loved the transitions in this vid! Also dug the fact shout outs-you are a wealth of knowledge-so lucky for the rest of us that you are willing to share!
Such a fun video-so great that you two were there!
Looking forward to the New Glenn inaugural launch. Tell Jarrett he needs to hurry things up!
I've learned that we missed where the frequent visitors like to eat. Here's the list from those in the know: Fat Snook (south Cocoa Beach) Pompano Grill (Cocoa Beach) Sage Bistro (Cape Canaveral) Cafe Margaux (Cocoa Village)
Super cool to get to see this in person . The benefit of keeping your head low when you’re a clerical stowaway. LOL
There are some other good launches coming along in the near future. When Blue Origins New Glenn launches it'll be quite a site from Cocoa Beach since their launch pad is the most visible from there. Could be a good reason to go back.
Careful. Very careful. Many vineyards are still deforesting native forests for vineyard development. Avoid Bremer, Davis and 100 Acre and NEVER Hall! Be very careful. Do research. Help us locals keep our watersheds healthy! BTW pretty funny video!
Thanks for your comment. This is an issue about which we don't see much information. Can you share a resource where folks can learn about the issue and where we can learn which vineyards are being most responsible?
Well done video. 👏🏻
Great road trip. What’s next?
Certainly something before the next total eclipse of the sun. I'm thinking something with some fall colors.
*Promo sm* 🙈
What does that mean?
Entertaining...
Like it, you shred unreal ! see you soon. 🤗
Another great segment. What memories! Planning the next tour is now a priority!
This was a fantastic segment of our trip!
Did you book the tour of Monument Valley ahead of time?
Thank you so much. I just discovered your channnel & am very appreciative. The filming is very professional & well paced the narration just right. If "advanced maturity" does not allow me to visit in person, going with you folks is the next best thing. Thank You.
Great video 😊
Love it! Thanks for the visit guys. Cannot wait till your next trip :-)
Love those Viking girls.. so sweet
That looks so amazing - what a trip! (me thinks someone liked the hammerheads)
awsome video , I never been down to the sand
If there's a dark hole my dive buddy's are in it! I'm just intrigued with ALL THE FISH coming at us! 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠
Bula & Holy crap! We were in the same ocean front villa last week! 3rd from the bar? We LOVED this place!!!!!
Hi, my fiance and I will be going here on our honeymoon in 5 months! I was curious, how much does it cost to do the deep sea diving?
