Hi, we are Stephen, Jess and little Hunter, a traveling family who spent 2020 self-converting a van before moving in full-time to drive around our home country of Australia. We have now completed our lap, said our goodbyes, and resumed full-time travel before we wait for our second baby to arrive.
Hey everyone!! So excited for our big US series to start - kickstarting it all right here in one of our favourite spots - Hawaii and at a resort we feel very thankful to be staying at!! This is a 2 part Aulani series - can't wait to show you everything we get up to next week :)
Looking forward to see it! See you then and have a great week! 😄
@@Julescasper you too!! happy easter ❤
Strongly recommend Xtreme 4x4 in Moab Utah
If you’re near Central Valley California I will show you best ice cream ever! My husband knows his way around Yosemite and California in general. We both do. We’re old. 😅 ish.
If you need anything or have California questions…. Or southwest. We both did family road trips to Oklahoma and New Mexico we have lots of good knowledge
And both grew up in California and have traveled tons
Jurassic park in Hawaii so go find helicopters and take to Jurassic
The moment Jess was crying, my heart! I feel like we’ve all got those goals and have those memories where we feel like we’ve made it. So happy you get to experience and create such beautiful memories as a family ❤
Jess was completely in her element in this video and it was so lovely to see 🥰
What a magnificent looking hotel.. And what a beautiful moment when Jess was being nostalgic & became emotional, realising a dream coming true.. great video
it's such a beautiful hotel - cant wait to show you more!! aww thank you for your lovely comment feels so special being here!
What I really like about you both, is that you have never forgotten your "humble times ", when you both travelled before you had your lovely children. I wish you all happy and safe travels. Gail, Czech Republic ❤️
aww this is such a sweet comment thank you ❤
It's so sweet to see Hunter now greeting the Characters.Remembering when little Hunter was shy and and a bit scared of them. She has grown to such a confident and adventures Person.
hehe i know!! the character arc there from being so scared of Bugs Bunny at Warner bros in the Gold Coast to now running up to them...hehe you will see next week she starts counting how many characters she has seen like shes collecting them 🤣🤣
So proud of her 🥰🥰🥰
My favourite part is when Hunter can’t contain her excitement when the storyteller mentions Maui. Just magical✨
Every time Jess starts crying I start crying. What a beautiful moment to be able to bring your family to Hawaii when FTN first started. It’s so great for Hunter and Koa to have all these amazing experiences and for you and Stephen to be able to give it to them. So sweet!! ❤ And to have all these memories on video is even better!! Love you all
aww youre the best thank you Rachel!!
that hunter is really a good reactor!
Jess 🥹 so special to see you guys achieve everything you set out to! So deserving
awww youre so sweet thank you so much!! haha who knew a hotel would make me emotional 😂
OMG Hunter's Stitch impression was adorable! Such a character! :)
hehe she kept doing it all week!
OMG, seeing everything through Hunter’s eyes is so magical and fun!
its why we love doing Disney right now - its so fun for her!
The way Jess is most excited about the room is totally my vibes!!!! It’s exactly what I do!!!!! Love this so much xxx
hahahaha! we forgot just how BIG USA rooms are...
Who would have thought Hunter would be so excited to see the characters, she’s come a long way . Her and Koa are so different, he’s so chill and she’s so excited at everything, you have a beautiful family 🥰
hehe its so nice to see!! haha yep her and Koa are complete opposites
These Disney videos always make me teary! Special memories 🥰
hehe aww thanks Steph!!
Fabulous vlog as always. Could watch you guys for hours. Jesse having "a moment " reflecting in the car was so adorable. Every mum understands where she was coming from with her emotions and tears!
At 17.25 mins was Hunter carrying the camera and filming herself for a few seconds going down the water slide?... if so.. AMAZING! and an EXTRA big 👏👏👏 for Hunter. Not only does she "steal the show"😊.. but now she is starting to "make the show"....ADORABLE!
Ps . I can't believe you guys have been travelling 9yrs!.. but that made me realise I've been following you for 8yrs!😮... time flies!
Life can take you on adventures🌈💫💫 but it's the ones you share together with love❤ that matters the most however big or small 👨👩👧👧the memories are all that you remember most... Be proud how far you have both come🙏 and the tears just represent happy emotion for now gateful your heart truly feels ❤
The sound production... *chef's kiss*
naww thank you!!
I LOVE how much you love Hawaii. I LOVE Hawaii..my home!
I can’t get over how much Koa looks like Steve!
hehe
The sweetest video. It made me long to visit Aulani!
WOW what a hotel, absolutely loved that you got lost so I could see more of this Incredible hotel. Absolutely loved the excitement from Hunter seeing Moana. Yum Yum Yum Mai Tai’s. Very big room with balcony with amazing views.I still hear them rehearsing for the Luau. Amazing sunset. Hunter said slow down, slow down and then mom laughed. Love the fire. Absolutely Loved Day 1 // Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish
It was kind of hysterical listening to Jess freaking out about the room, as if you guys aren't world travelers who have been everywhere!
I'm very happy for you that your dreams came true!
Thank you for sharing that beautiful story!!!! Love watching your videos to get inspired for family travel XO ❤
Aww Jess, I had tears in my eyes hearing your story of hoping someday to come here with your kids. I’m so happy for you all that your dream came true! ❤
You guys provide such joy. Thank you for sharing your trips and experiences.
aww such a lovely comment thank you ❤
So fun!! We love visiting there, thanks for sharing your adventures!!
thanks for coming along and watching :)
Everywhere is beautiful with the ones you love! Stunning vlog! xxxxx ❤
❤❤❤
We are headed back to Aulani in a month or so. (We stayed there 12 years ago.) We are taking the entire family (10 of us). We also rented DVC points and saved a TON of money!! We will be staying in a 2 room villa. My sister and her family booked late and could not get a DVC room. They are staying in a normal resort hotel room there and ended up paying more that we did for our 2 room villa.
I can't wait to see part 2 of this! :-)
This is so emotional haha sitting crying when you’re crying 🤣💖 look at you guys now!! Full circle moment 💖 also Hunters reaction to seeing the characters is so heartwarming ahhh she is the cutest 🥰
Beautiful family ❤️🤩🤩
Travel..
Enjoy 😍😍
Jess always has me crying on this channel. Ive been watching for 9 years or something. And she always brings the tears 😂❤
hehe awww Jess!!! ❤❤❤
Jess Your moment of Emotion coming to the Hotel was just the purest ❤ for this Dream you had to comeTrue
And getting the chance to Bring Hunter & Koa to this Disney in Hawaii ,was just the sweetest ( brought tears to me )
I remember your very earliest videos 😜 you & Stephen Have come so far plus work so so hard And. Its just such a joy to see you both Get this chance now to make it come True 🤍.
plus the Excitement of Hunter seeing it through her eyes just Adorable 🥰 plus seeing her eyes light up at the sight of the wild waterban 😂 we all know how much Hunter loves water !! .
Aww Koa taking everything in his stride ,was not too sure of stitch 🫣 but i am sure he come round at some point😊. Great video looking forward to the next one. Safe travels 🥰
Great to know about the DVC points trick, I wondered how easy it was to do that. The DVC rooms are nicer and include amenities you don't get in a base room.
So proud of you seeing you this happy ❤️❤️❤️
❤❤ youre so kind thank you!!
We love Aulani! Small version of what you get on Disney cruise ships
Love Ko Olina. We always stay at the Marriott Resort down the street! Beautiful area and love the lagoons!!
Amazing definitely on my bucket list! Happy Easter to your family and a happy belated birthday Koa! Here’s to another magical year! 💖💖💖💖

Seeing this amazing place through the eyes of Hunter and Koa was great!! I want to go there!!! I love Stitch and Lilo and Mona!!! P.S. I think you would all love the game Disney Emoji it is one of my favorites I play all the time on my phone. It would be a great game to add to a tablet for your log plane rides.

hahaha she cracks us up all the time
I’m so excited to see this series. We were in Hawaii at the end of February and stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and Aulani. It’s so wonderful to see Hunters excitement at Aulani.
whaat! pretty much our exact route!
You guys are so blessed
Love watching your videos!! 🤍
🤍🤍
Awe, Jess, I would've cried too ❤🥹
Thank you so much for sharing with us your beautiful Hawaiian family adventure guys 🤗Everything looks amazing 🤩Well done 👏
aww thanks so much for coming along for the rid!!
I love your adventures! Beautiful room!
thank you Karen!!
You guys are literally the best family ever💜 you deserve all of your success!!! Such a great video!!
💜💜 thank you so much
I was scrolling through RUclips after months of not using it and I see you guys and see another baby😮😮😮 I can’t believe last time I saw you guys when when little hunter was scared of all the characters 😅😅😅
Best part was hunters deep laugh when she was meeting the characters at the beginning 😂
Happy Easter🐇 Beautiful family
happy easter!!
Wow, that hotel room is like a house! Beautiful, touching emotional moment in the car. Great shots of Hunter at the end. She's so into it.
I know right its soo big??!
Wow what an amazing hotel ❤very luxurious breathtaking views of the beach just absolutely amazing
It was such an amazing spot to stay! feel so thankful!!
I've been a subscriber for about 6 years now and have armchair travelled all over the world with you guys. Now Hunter is older, seeing her face when she meets some of her favourite characters, makes me dream of being able to give my 2 year old granddaughter the same joy, but even Disneyland Paris is out of my budget as I'm retired and my pension won't run to that. You are so very lucky, but what I really love about you, is that you stay humble and never take your life for granted. Your family is living its best life and your genuine pleasure is always obvious. Well done for being amazing vloggers and even better parents❤
aww wow thank you so much for the lovely comment Anne! ❤
❤
I've watched you way back when it was just you 2 and Stephen. So happy for you achieving this dream! 💖
aww thank you!! 💖💖
goals to stay there one day and I love the character interactions i love stitch too
aww hope you can!!
@@flyingthenest aww thanks been to Hawaii but never there
I was lucky enough to be given a tour of that resort when I was in Hawaii for work (travel agent) a few years ago and loved all the special touches. Especially for kids! So cool. Seeing Hunter’s face light up is so adorable. Looks like you had a fab time! Can’t wait for next episode! 🏝️
aww woah! so glad you managed to check it out! its such a beautiful resort - especially with those Hawaiin sunsets!
Oh Jess I might not totally know what it feels like but I too get emotional because I watched those first videos 💕 so special
aww thank you!!!
Wow what a nice hotel! 😯 thank you for sharing 💖
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching :)
Our family loves Aulani! I was so happy to see you traveling here! I usually have the same reaction as Jess anytime I think about Aulani!!!❤
❤❤ aww so glad you guys have been!! what was your favourite bit?
@@flyingthenest my husband and I love the lazy river while the kids play on the slides and the pool! But we love the hikes on Oahu too and Kualoa Ranch!

I’ve never clicked in a video so fast! I was so emotional watching this video, you look like you’ve had the best time ❤️. I always wanted to go to Aulani for years and we’ve finally booked to go for a couple nights during our honeymoon and I’m so excited 😄. Happy Easter to your family 🐰🐣🌷

@@flyingthenest Heading there in July! In Hawaii for 2 weeks so loving all your tips in your Hawaii vlogs!!
beautiful words and thoughts Jess... You & Stephen have come a long way from that first trip to Hawaii. I only started watching about 6months before your pregnancy with Hunter but the entire family has come so far in such a short time. Love watching your family and I continue to speak it into words... I will ONE DAY go on a flying the nest tour with you all!
8:26 lol... are you sure that's the face of someone who like's it?
loving the musical change when jess realizes there's a sale... hahaha

You guys are the best 🎉❤
❤❤
Oh my goodness so cool!!!!! I (AKA Alexa) Love Stitch so much! We luv you guys
Hehe hi Alexa!!!!
you both have such a beautiful soul and your children are just gorgeous! Hawaii is spectacular, it looks just priceless and I can understand the emotion behind your story Jess. My husband and I have said we would love to take our kids there to Hawaii but we haven't been able to do it as yet. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us.
Aww hope you guys can take your kids there! its such a little fav spot of ours
@@flyingthenest thank you I hope so. I am from Australia as well
Best family on youtube??? YES
Seeing Hunter enthusiasm is priceless.
hahaha i know right!! she just rewatched the vlog and says can we go back 😂
Aloha again... your son has a very strong name. Have a great day!
I so remember your first trip to Hawaii, the beginning of it all. How fantastic to see you both return with children in tow and to see Hunter just loving the interaction with Disney characters. How great is it to see Koa in amongst it. Hunter was more shy at that age. Gosh that resort looks amazing. Enjoy your effen vodka hahahahaha 🤣
haha aww thanks so much for coming along for the journey!! hehe gonna order another effen vodka now!
Yooooo nice
sooo nice!!
Joe Rhode was the same head imagineer for both Aulani and Animal Kingdom Lodge! ❤
Yess! Such a good designer
We’re doing a cruise to Hawaii in a couple of days and Aulani is our first stop. Can’t wait.
Whaaa! you get to stop there?
@@flyingthenest When we get to Oahu we’re staying 9 nights before we fly back and we’re going to Aulani first, that’s what I meant by that. We’ve been to Hawaii before but not Aulani.
Koa’s face when he poured the water 🤣
🤣🤣 dude will straight stare you in the face whilst doing something he shouldnt do
I think you guys need to organise a meetup or trip to a Disney park 🤩
haha thats such a good idea!! we did go to the Japan ones on our Expedition which was soo fun!!
Koa is the most chilled out baby 👶
SUPER FAMILY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉❤❤
❤❤❤
Oh man! Another one to add to my future list…
aww how was your Easter :)
Japan is missing you! Please come back 🌸👘
aww I think we will have to head back to see the new Fantasy Springs expansioN!!
I can see Hunter with her own animation deal. My Travels with mum and dad, with Hunter voicing the characters.
hehe that would be so cute!
Love your adventures! What camera do you guys use?❤
What the heck? I’m actually crying before the 2 minute mark?! Hunter better crack me up soon.
😂 literally spat out our coffee reading this comment haha
I want to go as a adult lol
