Amerivespa 2023 In Flagstaff Az: It's A Vespa Thing!
Not to sound like a non American but do you think that the Mexicans at Walmart or in La Paz who were giving you the look was because you are American? We've found in places that we've traveled around the world that once people find out that we are Canadian and not American they treat us more friendlier.
Could be!
Background music is too freaking loud!
Yes totally agree. We had just started posting on RUclips and we hadn’t figured out audio yet! Sorry about that
Sounds more like a trip to Hawaii 😂
Well, it was a road trip so that would be especially interesting to Hawaii 😂
@@EmptyNesterLife corridos would be a better fit!
The new home of Mutual is going to change the Omaha skyline and will be the tallest building downtown. I can't wait for the new library, that's where it used to be though.
We went by the new library…looks like it’s going to be awesome
Good evening, friends. I do love when there’s someone there holding the door. Free champagne? Fancy!! Whenever I hear Nebraska I think of the Bruce Springsteen album. That is so cool. You got to go there for your friend’s wedding. Pretty nice views. I didn’t even know they had hills in Nebraska. Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom. The show of my childhood. Omaha Steaks. The clogging of my arteries. 😮 Mark was right about the winter jackets, but I would also like to point out that Jackie has never been wrong! 😅 Now you’ve sent me down a wormhole. Why is the Reuben sandwich called a Reuben sandwich?
Hey Dennis! Marlin Perkins and Jim Fowler! Loved him on Johnny C...who didn't?! Google says this about the Rueben<as you probably know> The sandwich is named after Reuben Kulakofsky, a Lithuanian-born Jewish grocer who is said to have invented it: Origin story: Kulakofsky would order a corned beef and sauerkraut sandwich at the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska, where he played poker with his friends. The hotel's kitchen staff would make the sandwich to his specifications, adding Swiss cheese and Thousand Island dressing on rye bread. Amazing! Speaking about amazing...glad to see you walking and stuff. We were pretty worried, not gonna lie.
In 1925, Bernard Schimmel created a sandwich for Reuben Kulafofsky, a customer and poker player, at the Blackstone Hotel. The sandwich was made with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing, and rye bread. Support The Nebraska State Historical Society and the Douglas County Historical Society found menus from the Blackstone Hotel in 1934 and 1937 that listed a Reuben sandwich
Very cool insight. Historical origin stories are always so interesting.
We know it's beautiful. You can visit but don't make plans of staying. USA and Canadians nationals are not welcomed to stay
Have a great New Year!

Hi! Good point! Be well!
That looks about perfect. Very relaxing. Merry Christmas friends! ⛪️🌲
It’s the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday! 😊
We spend every New Year’s there! We fell I love with Williams many years ago on our first trip to the Grand Canyon. We love the small town vibe. My husband enjoys all the shops and I enjoy all the trains!
It’s such a great town! What a great tradition to spend the new year there 🥳🎉
Good morning friends. That is some interesting information about the San Pedro. I did not know about Kansas cutting off Texas cattle. I thought the use of famous trails like Santa Fe and even Chisholm ended when they started shipping via train. I know it put Rockport out of business, but I digress😂 I love that store and the owners were very accommodating. Fresh buttered warm bread. You’re killing me Smalls! ❤ that’s so cool that you got to meet up with a high school friend. Looking forward to the next videos, healthy eating on the road. I did not know that there were six Earp boys.😅
Good morning, Dennis. It makes the trip very interesting. When you dig into the history of an area and then you see it. Come alive right before your eyes, right? I can still taste the bread 🍞😀
Did a couple fishing trips there. Great fishing!
That would be great!
Nice! What time of year were you at the San Lucas Arch? I want to walk through it.
We were there in October
Thanks man. I live in Austin but go to Rockport all the time. I thought i knew all the places but I learned about a few new places. Thank you so much!!
Awesome! Let us know if you go to anywhere new that you enjoy!
Travel more, go out to dinner and go skinny dipping with my wife in our backyard pool.
Great plans!
Who needs swimwear when it’s just me and my wife?
Swimming with tiger sharks 😅 Made me laugh, but did appreciate this video as I’m visiting in January. Hopefully we’ll get to swim with the whale sharks!
😂😂😂 I hope you have the best time! Glad the video was helpful…let us know if you get a chance to swim with the Whale sharks or sea lions!
Excellent. We may go next month.
Have fun! Let us know how trip goes 🏖️☀️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dennis, how are you? Please give us an update. Praying!
It's not cheaper to live in Mexico anymore and the new government is very scary now be careful things are changing in Mexico now. People always get blind on vacation. Move and then reality sets in.
We were just down there again and noticed the prices were higher. Not too familiar with the new government but would definitely recommend checking out if thinking of moving to the area for sure.
im from La Paz, the problem we have when all kind of torist from other contry is like they want to do some weird thing they do in their country. we take the time to acept when have gone tru some in the past.
Great tour. We are trying to decide between taking ou rv and staying there. I guess you can say. Las Palomas
It’s a good choice! Hope you have a great trip! 🏖️☀️
Amazing looking food! 🎉
Santa Fe is definitely a culinary destination!
Good morning friends. I’d like to keep myself entertained on a road trip by driving. Praise the good Lord for SiriusXM radio the most millionaires per capita, and the highest crime rate. I wonder if it’s all white collar crime.😅 all right. I’m just gonna shut up and keep watching. “Less creepy”😂 So nice to see a new video from you guys! Fun! ❤ Great band!
You bring up a great thought about the crime rate...probably lots of Crypto theft :) I think pointing out creepy looking art is funny! - Mark
Good morning Dennis! Entertained by driving 😂 Yeah, that's an important part of a road trip for sure! We were just talking about how fun this road trip was...lots more to come :) We took a break for a while because we were doing so much traveling...now we've got lots of content so hope to keep up with one a week at least. Great to hear from you and glad you're getting better!! ~ Jacki
La Paz does have tourism, the difference is that it's 70+% Mexican tourism, so foreigners usually don't notice them as they assume they're residents of the city. I'd heard several RUclipsrs refer to La Paz as a "small" or "little" town when, in fact, it has over 250,000 people, which is a lot bigger than it was in my youth back in the 1960s, around 35,000, so forgive me if I chuckle. And yes, speaking Spanish is very helpful in La Paz, but I can't say I've noticed the negative vibe you mentioned at Walmart. But yeah, since it isn't an international tourist destination of note, a lot of the population doesn't cater to English speakers among the tourists who visit. But then again, that's why the city has a Mexican flavor that Los Cabos lacks.
That's a great point regarding the international vs national tourism. Completely agree that it is what gives La Paz the better feel than Cabo. We were in Cabo last week. Next time we'll skip Cabo altogether and just head to La Paz. I've been practicing my Spanish to get ready ☀😊
Tried to watch but the music is too freaking loud!
Totally agree! This was in our early days of creating videos and we were still learning. Our audio has gotten a lot better over time. But thank you for trying to watch…we appreciate you 😊🏖️
I discovered this area while surfing the internet for a vacation spot. The Waterfront Residences were so beautiful, I wanted to stay there - I thought it was a HOTEL. 🤓 So I spent maybe 2 hours trying to find the NAME of it, but found nothing. You'd think it was be easier to find out that info online, but it actually wasn't! - I searched both Google maps and Google EARTH maps and didn't find out it's not a hotel until i watched your video. 😢
Oh no! Glad you found our video though…if you want to stay near the waterfront, there’s the W Scottsdale or the Best Western Sundial. Both are good options and in walking distance to everything the Waterfront has to offer. Just a heads up…there are a lot of bars and party sites don’t can be loud until late. If you want to stay nearby but somewhere more peaceful, there’s the McCormick Scottsdale is a good choice. Hope that helps!
@@EmptyNesterLife Yes, it does help, thanks. In spite of the noisy bars, I prefer to be within walking distance.
@@Monorail-Beyond-the-Veil That's usually how we are as well 😊 Hope you enjoy your visit!
Good evening, friends. That's a beautiful shot with the mountains in the background. Local festivals in the plaza. Absolutely gorgeous. I love towns with a good plaza or square. That plaza is absolutely gorgeous. Craftsmanship at its finest. The public art is incredible. I love seeing that kind of stuff. What a vibrant community. An interactive spider. Who knew? Food and bourbon in the same place? I hope they have a drive-through! That's a really cool venue. I love places like that. I was hoping we would get a new video from you guys sometime soon. Hope you all are safe and well. 6:19
Hi Dennis! We have been following your progress. We're so happy that you are getting better. I know you still have a long road ahead of you. But it just warms our heart to get your updates and to see you progressing! We have been so blessed to follow BlackBerry Smoke around this year. That was our second concert. And then we just saw them and San Diego. So uh, super fun, great band and we've learned a lot about different cities through the pilgrimage. :) God bless bro!
And windy. ... Maybe try doing the video as a voice over where it's not so windy.
True…after this trip we bought mics for situations like this.
❤❤❤
hola, any issues with the wifi ? thanks
We didn’t experience any issues with WiFi while we there 😊
the office 🤢🤢🤢
We were there last week…food was great!
She got BARS!!!😊
😊☀️🦌
I go there every October
It’s such a great place to visit!
What a strange video.
Have a great day! Thanks for watching ☀️
Good morning friends. I went through Williams a couple times but not in the last 30 or more years. It certainly has changed. Wonderful town. We took Route 66 from the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas and spent a night in Williams. You showed me lots of things that I didn't see before. Awesome job. I wish I was heeled and loaded. Pie is the Lord's gift.
Hey Dennis! We really like going there. It's about 35 miles west of Flagstaff, and we do real estate there, so we are there quiet often. Never disappoints. Blessings for your full recovery!
Good evening, friends. Very nice. You'll have to let us know how durable it is. Looks extremely comfortable.
It's a pretty typical in weight mattress. But I would say that even if it got puncture, it would be an easy fix..
@@EmptyNesterLife that would be perfect on a nice night to go stargazing
Is safe to drive there no crimes?
We’ve always felt safe but we recommend making sure you stop for gas and bathroom breaks before crossing the border and just stay in vehicle until you get to Puerto Penasco
@@EmptyNesterLife we will be driving our own car do we need special insurance? TY
Was a culinary school when I lived there in Dunedin. The hotel needs some serious upgrades! Come On Marriott! That room should not even be in use yet.
Completely agree Judy! Very cool to know it used to be a culinary school ☀️
isnt that streamline?
Tourists show up for a few days and overnight become experts on a town. PLEASE.
Pretty sure we were clear that this video is just our impression. We never claimed to be experts!
Begins the rich history of La Paz by talking about Jacques Cousteau? A fucking French colonist. What a moron.
Howdy Mark & Jackie! Good afternoon! Wow! What a wonderful adventure! Blackberry Smoke! Sweet! Tempe looks awesome! I hope yiu guys had a wonderful time. ❤ Fires! 🔥 the pups were certainly happy to see you!🎉
Hi Dennis! We had a good time for sure. Glad to hear from you…how are you feeling?
@@EmptyNesterLife it looked like a great adventure! I'm doing OK thank you. My fifth day at the rehab.
I give them 2 little whole stars and big whole star
Interested to know prices for the condos in Las Palomas
Sorry for the tardy response. Between 250k and 350k...but that was a while back. Ty
