Your daughter is a perfect mix of both of you! What a beautiful family! Thank you for taking us along on your journeys.
She really is!! Love sharing our adventures! Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing your daughter with us she’s adorable
Welcome! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks so much, Friend!
My daughter attended Colorado State University. Been in the Denver/Boulder/FT Collins areas often. Love it there.
Beautiful area, but oh so pricey.
I lived in Denver for 8 years before I just moved to Ecuador in the spring. I miss it a little, but do not miss shoveling snow.
Ecuador is one of our favorite countries!! Which part?
@@MidLifeCruising95 In Napo, about two hours from Quito. Not far from the Papallacta hot springs, if you've heard of them.
We have a close family friend who moved there about 10 years ago. He loves it!
A lovely video and thank you so much for sharing such precious time with your beautiful daughter ❤. The hotel room was definitely swanky and loved ICE as well.
Thank you so much!
Catching up on videos. Just returned from a cruise. So happy you got to spend time with your daughter and her boyfriend. Looking forward to your ongoing adventures!
@@christineshields1714 Thanks so much. I hope yours was a blast!
Denver looks like an amazing winter vacation destination.
Great area for sure!
I see our mountain back there!
Pretty pretty!
Beautiful Islands👍 Chi
We are loving this part of the world!
Welcome to the snow!
Hee hee....escaped just in time!
Those ice sculptures were so neat! And your daughter is beautiful! First shot of her….thought she looks just like Angela. Then saw the shot of her between y’all. She is truly a blend of both her beautiful momma and handsome daddy. So glad y’all got some time with her during your journey!
She really is a blend of both of us! Thanks for watching!!!!
Denver looked fabulous glad you enjoyed time with your daughter
Thanks so much!!
Wow, those ice sculptors are incredibly talented - looks amazing!
They are incredible!!
Hey friends!!! Spending time with family is critical for peace of mind! Enjoy!!!
Sure is!!! Thanks for watching!!
So glad you enjoyed your trip with your family ❤ always nice to be home 🏡
We sure did! Thanks so much!
Such a wonderful video Angela & Steve. They are always entertaining and allow us to share your world travels.
We're so glad you enjoy coming along on our adventures!
@@MidLifeCruising95 This adventure of your life could be a book or better yet a movie. You both put a personal perspective on the entire complex saga from the beginning to the wonderful fulfillment.
We watch every video. You guys are awesome !
Thank you so much, very much appreciated.
Hi Friends thank you for sharing
Thanks for the visit!
Hi Angela what an awesome video, loved it and enjoyed seeing all the Ice House, Unreal right? Your daughter is a cutie, and I did chuckle at the posing, so true to life now a days. So nice you guys enjoyed your time But boo on the plane delaying that flat out sucked. We go, but getting back is just as good, That Dorothy knew her stuff. You said you and Steve are both 53 so not sure you will get the Dorothy thing 😬 Somewhere over the Rainbow can make me cry, she sang it so beautifully. I saw someone had a b.day Mine was the 4th and our youngest sons is today. So will add Happy Birthday to all Sag's, there are a lot of us. What are your and Steves birth signs if you don't mind? Have a good rest of the day friend Joyce
Hey there. Glad you enjoyed the video. It was awesome visiting our daughter. Home is where the heart is!! Steve is a Cancer as is our daughter. I am Sagitarius...we don't really follow or know much about that stuff though.
@@MidLifeCruising95 Morning I am not surprised you are a Sag, I liked you for a reason. First, I don't buy into horoscopes. I just think people have inborn traits and can have compatibility with others. My husband is Aries and I have found so many people I really like will be an Aries. Some people I just like right away, you Angela being one. You just come across as very sweet and kind and so honest. Anyway that is kind of why I will ask, just wondering mostly when I really hit it off. It may seem weird but it is just me. Thanks for the reply, you make your followers feel you appreciate them and that is so important. Have a great rest of the day.
Y’all have a gorgeous daughter! Thank you for sharing your Denver adventures! We live at FE Warren AFB (Cheyenne, WY) many years ago. Back then, the Denver airport was in the middle of farmland. I’m sorry you had a such a long delay, but at least it was at a good airport! I hope y’all are safely back on board.
Thank you so much! It was a great visit.
What a fun detour! Your love of travel and exploration shows everywhere you go.
Aaww, thanks so much. Having a great time!
We enjoy your videos so much! With you having lived in Florida and your daughter in Denver, how did you come to live in Nicaragua before joining the Villa vie Odyssey? Did you visit on a cruise and fall in love?
We went on a missiom trip there in 09...Our back story goes into detail in episode 32. Merry Christmas.
Your hotel room is bigger than my house 😅 The hotel is absolutely amazing! Enjoy ❤
It was so big and amazing!! Thanks!!
@@MidLifeCruising95 I also meant to tell you, your daughter is adorable 🥰
Fun!!!💕
Good times!!
Hi Stephanie‼️ so good to see your sweet face again. 👏🏻👏🏻
And boy do those flight delays remind me of a certain mission trip. 😂😂
Ha ha ha right!?!?!?!!
And you got a proper Colorado sunset! 🥰
So lovely!!
Awwww, you animated the plane and the motor! Pahaha.❤
😁 Steve loves that thing!
Your daughter is lovely! So happy you had a quick visit!
Love your video. Time to cruise!🛳️🛳️🛳️
Thanks so much!!! Back aboard now!
Wow, what an adventure getting back to the ship! Looks like you had a wonderful time with your daughter in Denver and some great food too.
It was so good to spend time with her! Worth the hassle for sure!
Wow that is so bizarre. My hubby and I just stayed at the Gaylord resort in Nashville. I wanted a night out and discovered I could get us a night using our Marriott points. Oh my, it was all decked out for Christmas and the place was huge!! So many sights to see and things to do…I loved it! So beautiful…amazing resorts! ❤❤❤❤
Oh wow! Amazing for sure!!!
Loved your video as usual. Enjoyed seeing you bounce around Denver. We always enjoy going to see Ice at the Gaylord as well, they do such a great job. If you ever get the chance to go up to Breckenridge to see the Ice Castles that is always a lot of fun as well. Sorry you had such delays on your travels but glad that you made it back home safely.
Oh, have to put that on our list! We have never been to Breckenridge!
Excellent video!
Thanks so much for watching!
What a nice episode. It is a great reflection upon the Odyssey that you were so happy to get "home" even after staying in a beautiful hotel. Happy holidays to you and your family.
Thanks so much! We are so grateful for our home on the sea.
Thanks for the quick tour of my home town. It’s always nice to see something new. If you like dunkels, next time you’re in Denver, try Prost Brewing. It’s one of my favs.
Thanks for the tip! Glad you got to see home.
What a joy to be with your child again. But I know how you felt when you came home. It’s great to know that you really feel “at home” on Villa Vie. I’m on my 3rd day of my 2 week Caribbean cruise and enjoyed my birthday at sea today. A wonderful day. Tomorrow we spend the day at Amber Cove in Dominican Republic. Beach day for me 😊 Thanks for sharing Denver with us! Keep enjoying life🥳 Linda
Oh, hope your birthday was the best! Awesome you got to spend it on a cruise!!
Hi Linda I'm a Sagittarius too, the 4th and son also Today. I turned 81 my son turns 46. So Happy Birthday to all Sag's and have a great day also. Oh and Hi Angela 😬
@@joyceh3976happy birthday to you too! 🎉
@@LindaSquier-h6u I tried three times to write something and finally said Ok done trying,--- so this, just thank you on the b.day. Have a good rest of the day.😎
Mine's the 16th!
I loved seeing the Ice! That was super cool! 😁 Pun intended. Sorry about your flight delays!
No worries! Great time!!
So glad you got to spend time with your precious girl 🌈✝️🕊️😇😘🥰😍 x x x she’s a great camera woman too ❤
🤗Thanks!!
My mom worked at The Gaylord Texan until her death at age (almost) 80. We loved going to ICE with the kids. You're daughter is lovely.❤
Aaawww nice to have those special memories.
Happy Holidays and thank you for the video!
Happy Holidays to you too!!! Thanks for coming along!!!
Ugh, I’m sorry that happened to you. Delays are no fun. But you got to see your beautiful daughter and spend some good quality time with her. Nothing beats that!!😊
Totally worth it!!!
Thank you for another wonderful video! ❤👍😊 Your daughter is a combination of both of you. So pretty! 😍
Glad you had a great time in beautiful Denver with your daughter. 🥹🥹😊
She really is!! So glad we could share our adventures with you!
Hey friends!! I’m so glad you got to visit with your daughter! My brother in-law used to live in Denver so we went out there a couple of times to visit before they moved back to ILLINOIS! We loved snooze for breakfast their sweet potato pancakes were out of this world and Sam No. 3 was really yummy too! Welcome back to the warmth! We’re having a couple of cold 🥶 days in the Chicagoland with single digits in the am!!
Oh, stay warm!!! Thanks for watching!
Wow thanks for sharing this wonderful time spent with your family I really loved the Ice show that was amazing!! And your hotel, very nice! Safe travels "Friends" 😊❤ PS Love the luggage 🧳 great job!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Looks like you had a lovely trip to Denver. Your daughter is lovely. Must have been a very nice break away from the hot weather in the Caribbean. Weather plays a big part in Airline delays. Trust me the Crews want to get home as much as anyone else.
We had a great time. Thanks!
@@MidLifeCruising95 i must check today and see where The Odyssey is today. Have a good afternoon.
Ooh.. cool weather must feel amazing after the tropics! So glad you had a great time with your daughter. Your hotel room was amazing! The resort looked absolutely beautiful. Also really loved the ICE place. They managed to make the sculptures so colourful that they don’t even look like ice😮. My favourites are the Christmas tree and gingerbread house. Sorry that your flight home wasn’t a great experience. I don’t like air travel these days. Thanks a lot for the video, FRIENDS!❤❤
It was so fun to see all the Christmas decor and to have quality family time! Denver was a great change of pace for sure.
Wonderful episode ❤️🕊❤️ Yes , airports are not a good place to hang out and wait.
Ha ha right!?!
I knew Gaylord Texas but had no idea about Denver. My daughter takes her daughter to Gaylord Texas every Christmas for several days. I haven't been since days of horses ,rodeo etc. Enjoy your child.
They have 5 locations now and are adding a 6th in Chula Vista. So awesome!
Terrible delay, well done on being so sunny about it though. I’ll be looking up that luggage Friends.
Thanks, Friend!!
Your daughter is beautiful. Nothing better than being with family. Side note: I miss the bloopers😂
Ha ha...sometimes we don't make any bloopers...rare though. Ha ha Thanks!
Well this has given me all the Christmas feels 🎄🎄🎄 What a beautiful resort! 😍 A perfect place to spend some quality time with family 🥰 Sorry about the delay going back home 👎🏻 Like you said, it’s the less glamorous side of travelling but you dealt with it with great 👍🏻 I just love your optimism and positivity! Enjoy being back on the ocean 🌊 ps. Nice luggage! Bye friends xx
Thanks for watching! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Which airline was Dom Rep to Miami? Looks great...enjoy guys
American Airlines...
I was curious as to whether you would miss your cabin, not sure if it felt like home yet. Glad to hear you are settled in enough for it to feel that way!
Yes...missed home for sure.
I see you two are enjoying that RUclips money! You guys deserve it❤
So much appreciated!! Thanks!
All of the Gaylord resorts are beautiful! I love a lazy river! Beautiful place. Beautiful daughter!
It's the best, right?! Thanks so much!
Merry Christmas, Friends✝️🤠❤️🎄
Merry Christmas to you too!!🎄
@ After living in Laramie, Wyoming again, this last time from 2000 to 2023, I moved to Edmond, OK. I am here for and with family but I do miss the Rocky Mountains. Thanks for sharing, it friends 🤠❤️
Looks like you had a great visit with your daughter. Thanks for the level 8 info. I was wondering about those. I wonder why Steve's luggage doesn't have that same wide spread handle the same as Angela's? I wish I was able to not overpack. I just can't see my self doing carry on only. May have to check out their checked luggage. ;)
They do have amazing checked luggage, too!! They have all types for sure...
I've been carry on only for over 20 years. I have an 18 and a 20 and 22 inch. I've done 31 days that way
That is impressive!!!
Very very nice video..safe trip back to the ship..Cheers from TnT
Thanks...and we are back!!
@@MidLifeCruising95 Awesome!!...Red Stripe Beers in Jamaica...some drink them hot..
Yes!!!
But cold only....ha
@@MidLifeCruising95Yes sir..
Hello from Thornton,Co I enjoyed your video and doing the Gaylord ICE with you was super cool. Okay back to the cold for me 🥶 enjoy staying warm 😊 Barry 🐻
Thanks Barry! We're glad you enjoyed it...stay warm!!!
Did you have to buy winter coats or did you have that on the ship already? I wasn't sure how much you purged.
We keep a bin under our bed for cold clothes.
Next time you come to Colorado take a look at JSX airlines. 👍 they operate at BJC, not Denver International.
That alone is worth the cost.
Good to know! Thanks for the tip!
Such a shame about the delay on your trip .Looked like you had a great time
It was awesome for sure. Thanks!
I think you are eligible for money from the airline for the long delay.
We will definitely be emailing them...12 hours is a LONG time!!
FYI. Those are ‘Canada’ geese. That is the official name. The lakes here in Seattle have them here year round. They do make a mess. What a beautiful resort and how wonderful to see your daughter.
Canadian
We love teasing about all things Canadian...lots of Canadian friends! Thanks for watching!
@@beachbum333 the official name is Canada not Canadian.
Ugh we have so many in the Chicagoland area!
@@beachbum333 the official name is Canada Geese.
Wow, is Cabin (Odyssey) Fever already there? You will try to sell your cabin sometime next year. Cheers
Did you not watch the video??? I am confused!
Did your delayed flight cause you to change where you have to meet up with the cruise ship? Cruise ships are hard to catch because they keep moving. Looks like you had a great visit in Denver.
Same port... but we planned to arrive a day before departure. Thank goodness!!
I came to ask the same question
We chose to return on day 2 of a 3 day port just in case the flights were delayed...thank goodness!
You guys lucked out with them staying in port for two days instead of one.
If you missed the boat you'd probably would have had to rent a helicopter to land on ship.
We purposefully chose t ncome back on day 2 of 3 of the same port for just that reason.
Steve, I appreciate and enjoy the beer reviews in your travels - but with almost 40 yrs in and around the beverage business, in this case I have to quibble. When tasting a flight, you always progress from light to dark. FYI, the brewery's lightest beer will usually expose any flaws in process, QC or dispense - or if you're lucky, demonstrate that they have their "stuff" together. But keep those reviews coming - heck, I might even buy you a "coffee" or two to keep 'em flowing!
Thanks for the info... Steph and I tried the flight this way but I wanted to highlight the Dunkel since it is my favorite style of beer. Yee Haw Brewing makes a fabulous Dunkel and if you ever see it around grab a 6pk or two. Thanks for joining us!! ~ Steve
The Ice exhibit was amazing. Welcome back home friends❤
Thanks so much!
🛳🛳🛳
Hey, Friend!
Is it true that you need a verified income of a minimum 10 million dollars to even be considered to purchase a cabin???
@@ronarempel9081 ha ha ha...not on this ship. You don't have to show any proof of income. Maybe "The World" residential one follows that rule. Ours is more for common folk.
@MidLifeCruising95 thankyou for clarification on that. Happy cruising.
I am retired school teacher from Florida, which is at the very bottom of all 50 states for paying teachers, and Steve is a retired cop... not even a 1 millionaire...ha ha
flight delays has become the norm lately
Dang...that stinks..
Feels like overkill on the ad!
Thanks! First time and had to do it justice. As in all things, we can only improve from here.
The commercial at the beginning.. UGH!
We RUclips to afford this lifestyle. It is what it is. Just fast forward...
Great video...love the luggage commercial, as a kid I had my first 3 piece set at age 9....😄
That is awesome! Ha
Nova Scotia 🇨🇦…..So happy for you both for getting to visit with your daughter!!!💙🩷💙🩷💙. There is nothing like family visits especially this time of year. As well appreciated the info on the luggage, the Denver City history. Love the handle placement!
Family time is the best time!!! Thanks for watching!
@@MidLifeCruising95 My pleasure! I have been very busy for the past several weeks so now that I have a little break I am binge watching to catch up on everyone’s posts. I am totally out of the loop…..however envying you both..happy for you both! Enjoy every minute, blessings to you both🙏💙.
Thanks for watching!!!
Hey Frieeenz! I just purchased the carry-on bag from Level8 off of your link. It would not let me apply your discount because it was already using an “auto discount” that I did not request. I left a note on the order crediting your ad and midlifecruising10… you might ask why I could not credit your ad/ad code? It’s a holiday gift for my daughter… Thank you! Byye Frieeenz
Thanks for letting us know. I hope she loves the suitcase!!!! Merry Christmas!!
