Hey James and Ellie! 🌟 What a heartwarming journey you've shared so far. Your love story is truly inspiring! 💑✨ As avid travelers, have you ever tried Express Parking to add convenience to your adventures? It could be a revolutionary for your travel vlogs because it made my last easiest ever! Can't wait to see more amazing content from your dynamic duo. Safe travels!
Thank you so much for your kind words 💙 with express parking do you mean valet parking like meet and greet 🅿️ at the airport? I’m precious with handing over my car keys to people 😅. Thanks we’ve got some kool other vids on our channel and we’re off to Thailand 🇹🇭 Saturday so will have a new series up in the new year! 🙌🏼. Thank you so much much for watching.
Great video.Try the Sheraton Skline if you need a hotel near terminal 5 at Heathrow.We stayed in the Raddison near terminal 3 in the June of 1996 when we flew to L.A with Virgin Atlantic.We really enjoyed it.Never flew before and we loved it. Thankyou for the video. Best Wishes Hazel
Hey Hazel 👋🏻 thank you so much for your kind comment, we’ll give it a try next time although all them hotel charge silly money now for a night since 2020 and the C word hit us. Thankyou for taking the time to watch our videos really appreciate it 💙
I would of died seeing Simons Calder!! he is one of my fantasy dinner guests!! Fab travel day guys x thanks so much for sharing - we enjoyed watching x
We really wanted to go say hi but we got a little shy 🙈 he was busy filming something about how the govt handled this red list through covid 🤷🏼♂️ I’d love to watch it but haven’t found it. He’s really tall in real life in 6ft and he towers over me easily! I wish I said hi to him now and just done it I regret it 🤦🏼♂️. Thank you so much 💙💙💙💙💙
I’ve only just had a chance to start catching up on your vlogs! Love your travel day vlog and I’m soooo glad you got those Randy’s Donuts! They are amazeballs! Looking forward to watching the rest of your vlogs!🥰 xxx
Aww thank you Sam 🥰 I’m so glad we watched your vlogs for them donuts we dream about them donuts 😋 soo much! We miss LA a heck of a lot too. Envious you got to go Barbados with work though recently 😜. Not going to lie we could do with a relax and swim after that holiday. Thank you so much hope you enjoy the rest of our vids 💙💙💙💙💙
Speaking of dropping off your bags early...one of the lesser known things BA offers at Heathrow is the ability to check in your bags the evening before if you have a flight leaving the next morning. This way, you'd have your documents checked and your boarding passes in hand so you can pass through security if you arrive way earlier than the check-in opening time. As far as the technical reason why they don't allow early check-in - it's because in Terminal 5's baggage handling system, bags that aren't slated to be placed on a flight within three hours have to go to a special storage area with a capacity of only 4,000 bags, where the majority of bags are those of people on longer layovers (one third of people passing through Heathrow are connecting passengers). They want to ensure that that storage area isn't overrun with bags so they make the vast majority of their passengers check in late so their bags don't go there. That limitation ensures there's enough room for connecting bags, so they can offer prior-evening check-in as a hidden feature that very few people know about as well as early day-of check-in as a perk for premium passengers so they can get more time in the premium lounges.
Hello, thanks for your comment that’s super helpful to know we didn’t know they offer that service the day before so thank you :) that may help us on future trips because it made the travel day rather stressful to be honest. We love to mooch around the airport and get food before our flight! Thanks for the tips and info we appreciate it 👍🏼
I always have the toughest time sleeping the night before travel day. I love those pods at Heathrow! They are so cute! That must have been a marathon long day for you guys! So excited you got to go to California, can’t wait wait to see what kind of trouble you got into. Let the *F* count begin! Love it 🥰
Haha 😆 you wait for the F bombs one video has tonnes of them 🙈. Them pods are no good in the heat it’s like a sauna on wheels but we loved using them it’s a great idea and decent price too I think. Yeah the day was long we were up for 26.5 hours in the end but we had a good night sleep 😴 and jet lag didn’t really get to us which was nice for the 8 hour time difference. We love the USA we need to move to California it has everything theme parks, beach, hiking, desert 🏜 😱 if we win the lottery we’re going to move 🙌🏼. 🙃 thank you you’ll enjoy what we’ve done I’m sure 💙💙💙💙💙 hope you guys are keeping well?
Hi guys, glad to see you back 😊 Love those little pods, although the airport hotel was …… um…… yeah 🤭🫣🥺 Looking forward to all your new adventures. Get those “L” plates on that trolley James 😅😅
Bad isn’t it that hotel if it didn’t have that runway bar it would feel like something out of a horror film, the inside of the hotels nice though surprisingly 🙈. Just the no noise proof or anything the planes are loud at night we have planes fly over our house but we don’t hear them lol. Hahah in my defence American trolleys are really hard to steer compared to U.K. ones the back wheels don’t turn 😁🤑. Thank you can’t wait to share them all 💙
Those pods are so cool! Never seen anything like that before haha Apple air tags do really seem like a great idea we are thinking of getting a couple for peace of mind. Randy’s donuts look amazing! Such a nice spacious room that bed is huge! Haha can’t beat a good Target trip! Heard so many good things about Blaze pizza! Always see those sugar cookies in vlogs feels like a right of passage haha 😂 awesome travel day looking forward to the rest of the series 💙✨
I would get them although our showed in The middle of the Atlantic when we landed back in heathrow 😂 but they are great deffo get some. Yeah the pods are great when it’s not hot 🥵 there like mini saunas. Yeah the room was nice we looked online and people said they had cockroaches in their room so we were dreading it but it was really nice you can’t take anything for face value on trip adviser anymore. Awww guys them donuts 😋 holy cow they were the best we’ve ever had! We love a good trip to target we went most days I think 😂. Ohh to be fair we couldn’t eat them sugar cookies with all the other bad stuff we ate we just couldn’t eat them ended up throwing them in the bin half way through the trip lol. Thank you so much both of you 💙💙💙
Always love a travel day - we where sat at the rooftop bar in Terminal 2 that same night. Really looking forward to this series as its on our to do list.
Hey thank you both 💙. I know I can’t believe we were only a few thousand yards apart on the airport! Hope you both enjoyed NYC we loved LA ranks very high on our holiday list 😀. Hopefully you enjoy the rest of the vids we have 🙌🏼
Super excited you guys have a new series coming out now!! Such a fab video for a travel day!! Laughing so much at you two, so funny and honest about the hotel looking like a dive 😂 Least it was okay for 1 night and had that cool bar! Sounded like the only reason to stay there haha! Can’t believe how early you got to the airport to find you couldn’t even drop the bags off, we’d have been so annoying at that lol! Loved how nice the sky and weather looked coming into California too! We saw those donuts on the FunFetti vlogs too, look so so good, I hope you went back! 😋😋 The holiday inn looked decent and even more amazing it has free parking, we always looks for that when staying in America as it can be so expensive if not!! American supermarkets are ace, they do have amazing crisps and sweet variety haha!! Can’t wait to see the rest of the trip and everything you get up too!! 😬😬😬
Aww thank you we had such a fab holiday so excited for our other vlogs to go out :) Well you know what we’re like we like to be honest 🤣 but you’ve got to admit it did look like a prison from the outside 🤣 I know it was so annoying that we couldn’t do bag drop until STD -3 as we always get to the airport like 4-5 hours before our flights but we have learnt our lesson with British Airways haha! Honestly the weather was always so nice in California. The mornings were always a little overcast but then always turned into the most beautiful weather 🥰 we miss it 😩 I’m (Ellie) not a donut person usually bu the donuts were the best!! We definitely went back they were too good not too! We didn’t have high hopes for the holiday inn but was really surprised on how nice the room was when we arrive so we were super happy about that :) I know the parking all adds up doesn’t it we couldn’t find another hotel that offered free parking. Thanks so much for your lovely comment as always 🥰
Hello, thank you for stumbling across our vlog and watching :) we have lots of California vlogs coming :) we love target wish we had them here in the UK!
Hey 👋🏻 so to be honest not hard at all for me it was super easy to adjust took about 30 mins to get used to it but if your thinking of hiring a car do it! May seem scary but i find it easier to drive then here in the U.K. 🙂. Thanks for watching too 😎
Hey thanks for watching, yeah we checked in a suitcase each and had 25kg each and 7kg of hand bagged each not that they checked the hand baggage ours weight over with the comp and gears etc lol 😝
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching, not sure what you mean by cheers never heard of the company 🤷🏼♂️ this was booked through Hays travel though if that helps 🙂

That’s really good to know thank you, would definitely love to have a run way view room at that hotel!
Love this. Amazing. Beautiful people xxx

I'm looking for London/UK travel vids and this one popped up on my feed. Good stuff here,and you did your first Target Run👋
Hello, thank you for stumbling across our vlog and watching :) we have lots of California vlogs coming :) we love target wish we had them here in the UK!
@@JamesandElliesAdventures So do I.
Nice report guys. Thanks for sharing. Do you have to be staying at the hotel to sit outside and use the runway view bar?
Thank you for watching :) im not to sure to be honest i would guess if your buying drinks then you’d be okay to be there :)
Love the PODS :0) We always do the night before bag drop, which is open for BA, now :0)
The pods are great aren’t they such a good invention :) ohh didn’t think of that but that’s good to know for the future thank you :)
@@JamesandElliesAdventures 😁 I tried to work out the Pods for this year...didn't quite manage it. 😉
Awesome !!! 😀😀😀
Thank you ☺️
How difficult is the transition from the right hand drive to the left hand drive mate ?
Hey 👋🏻 so to be honest not hard at all for me it was super easy to adjust took about 30 mins to get used to it but if your thinking of hiring a car do it! May seem scary but i find it easier to drive then here in the U.K. 🙂. Thanks for watching too 😎
great report. Were they strict with the baggage weight. Did you check in a bag
Hey thanks for watching, yeah we checked in a suitcase each and had 25kg each and 7kg of hand bagged each not that they checked the hand baggage ours weight over with the comp and gears etc lol 😝
wow you they secretly allowed 2kg over. and they check in the carry on for free. Did you have to pay a fee to check in a bag
@@JamesandElliesAdventures Dang.. all those bags came from your flight alone or other flights
@duaneowens7777 no we got a checked back included with our flight ✈️ thing is backpacks don’t look heavy compared to wheel on carry bags 😉
Nice video guys. What camera did you use out of interest?
Thank you ☺️. We use a a go pro mainly to film 🙂. Thanks for watching
Nice holiday wish online holiday website did you book with cheer
Hey 👋🏻 thanks for watching, not sure what you mean by cheers never heard of the company 🤷🏼♂️ this was booked through Hays travel though if that helps 🙂
@@JamesandElliesAdventures thank you
Where did you hire your car from?
It was with Avis pre booked before we went they were good and I would recommend booking before you go 👌🏼. Thanks for watching also 🙂
@JamesandElliesAdventures thanks, loving your vlogs. Did you get to choose your vehicle?
Thank you :) no unfortunately not, but I believe with Alamo you get to choose your vehicle :)
What proof of vaccination do you need to show ?
You have to be fully vaccinated and we used the VeriFLY app where we uploaded our vaccine certificates to.
Never understood why people go to California. Most people are trying to escape it.
We loved it and had the time of our lives 🙂
