    HA LONG BAY is sooo beautiful ! Did not know it is 2,000 islands😍 But nah, doing that cruise is too fancy for me.
    But BIG THANKS for keeping it real Lockwoods! Short 24hr stays, sickness, accomodation fails and bad room problems DO happen. Even to the best of them like you guys. Yet you are always staying composed and positive. ☺️

    • @AlwaysBeChanging

      You got it! 👍🏻 We we’re so happy to be there in the bay and see how beautiful it is. Just super bummed we missed exploring a nearby cave.

    I'm living vicariously through you guys! I've added another bucket list of countries to visit soon. Watching this video, I fell in love with Vietnam and instantly ordered Bahn Mi nearby (heard its famous in VM). As always, such amazing content! I highly appreciate your passion and for sharing your trips with us. Following along with your VM series!

      Yes! He was back to normal so fast. But unfortunately I (Erin) must have picked up what he had.

    In my experience the one day boat tour is a better use of time in Ha Long Bay. It’s long enough, don’t have to spend the night on the boat and you leave satisfied that you saw enough of the bay. Maybe a better option for anyone thinking of visiting this beautiful part of Vietnam! 😍🤩 Thanks for sharing your adventure!

    • @AlwaysBeChanging
      @AlwaysBeChanging  Год назад +1

      You’re right, you don’t need much time to see how pretty the bay is.

    It may not be the perfect cruise ship but I think the kids had some fun. Brooklyn had fun on the water slide and Colt was excited making his own spring roll. Sorry to hear about Erin not feeling well when she woke up in the morning. On to the next one. 😊

    • @AlwaysBeChanging
      @AlwaysBeChanging  Год назад +3

      It wasn’t perfect but it was a great way to spend two days! And if I was going to be sick, might as well enjoy the views :)

    We’re reliving this trip with you guys. But wish you didn’t get sick Erin. So sorry mama. Ugh thats tough, especially when traveling. Loved seeing Brooklyn’s big smile on that slide! The kids are so brave! Colt always amazes me when he orders his own food and mocktails. You go boy!🤪And Erin I think that rock looked like a smurf’s hat too☝️😆

    • @AlwaysBeChanging
      @AlwaysBeChanging  Год назад

      You were a life saver recommending them!! Can’t believe the squeezed us in so last minute. Being sick sucked but I got through it 👍🏻. Can’t wait to watch your next episode!

      We did have lots of challenges but that would never deter us from coming back! The challenges could never override the amazing beauty and culture we get to experience. ❤️

    So sorry you had a bit of a snafu with the first cruise company. Glad you were able to get a refund, and get booked on another cruise line quickly! It looks like the kids had a ball. Thanks for the honest review of the cruise! I am sure there a others out there that provide a better service. Thank goodness it was only overnight! 😅
    Hoping Erin is feeling better! It’s sucks to fall ill when traveling…par for the course I guess.
    Looking forward to the next video! ❤

    • @AlwaysBeChanging
      @AlwaysBeChanging  Год назад +1

      Thanks! I (Erin) got better quickly but that was a rough day. Traveling while sick is absolutely miserable. But we got through it 😊.

    I have the same cruise booked (Capella) but now Im worried that I used the wrong website - which was the scam site?

    • @AlwaysBeChanging
      @AlwaysBeChanging  Год назад

      Capella actually rescued our reservation. We originally booked a LaPinta cruise and that was a disaster. Our hotel concierge was able to get us on Capella last minute.

    11:27 is that just some sort of demonstration or some kind of a teaser? Haha.. it will be scorching hot on the philippines by that time.. anyway love how positive you guys are.. it seems you hit a snag on all of your stops in south east asia but you composed yourself pretty well.. i guess big part of it is how considerate you are to the feelings of your kids and how you don't want them seeing you grown ups giving in to the pressure and some toxicity when travelling across the world..

    • @AlwaysBeChanging
      @AlwaysBeChanging  Год назад +1

      🙏 Thank you for seeing our family that way. We try to keep our cool because we’ve seen the benefits of grit and having a positive attitude. That was us explaining better what happened at the beginning of the episode and advice on how to protect yourself from a situation like that. We placed it in the middle of the episode so we could practice ad placements for future episodes 😊.

      It’s true. Plus the water was cold this time of year. But the rock/island formations are so beautiful! 🤩

    • @AlwaysBeChanging
      @AlwaysBeChanging  Год назад +1

      We booked on halongbaylapintacruise.com/ They’re the ones who stood us up. But apparently there’s a LaPintaCruises.com that is the actual La Pinta ship and has nothing to do with the other website.

      It’s too bad we got sick but it was fortunate to be so short lived. And at the end of the day, you’re still in a beautiful place 🤩. Thanks for watching!
