My son and his GF went to France in April and loved it. They didn't want to go back to southern California where we all live. It's funny how you get use to the place you've lived all your life and don't realize it's a pretty nice place to live.
San Diego is fantastic, isn’t it? I grew up there till age 12, and served in the Navy there. I’m glad you got to see such a beautiful place. I miss it a lot.
Marie, it sucks to see you have to leave America, but I understand that it has to happen at this point in your life. I was actually surprised to hear you say that you wouldn't want to actually live in the US and that you're only interested in visiting. I suppose that makes sense in a way, although it is my opinion that America would be better with you in it, and considering your love of living in the mountains, it would be a crime for you to return to the States and NOT visit Denver and Boulder, Colorado. The mountains in the Rockies aren't as big as the ones in the Alps, but they aren't bad either and certainly give you the same feeling. If you ever decide to visit Washington State, please do not hesitate to reach out to me about incredible places to see and experience. I no longer live there, but know that State like the back of my hand. Thank you for this awesome video series and I look forward to seeing where you find yourself next! Keep Smiling Marie!
A little late to the comments, I just discovered you with this video. I'm really proud that you had a great time at the Safari Park (that will be my next video). It's in my home town (Escondido, CA) and it's a huge mark of pride for us. The animals live such amazing lives in the absolutely beautiful enclosures. They have interactive family friendly exhibits. A must for anyone traveling in the San Diego area.
Thanks so much for the update Marie, enjoyed you visiting my old stomping grounds one last time! Made me sad to see you cry😂. Looking forward to your upcoming videos!!!❤
You still have so much to see here ! My job has taken me all over the country over the last 20 years and I've only scratched the surface of what's to be seen ! Glad you enjoyed your time here and please come back! By the way......I miss your Angelina Jordan reactions ! Maybe if you get time it'll happen !
Marie, I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself in my country. I'm kinda like you when on vacation. I don't want to go home. But, once I am started home I'm glad to get there and get back to my daily routine.
Next up you need to check out Colorado, Wyoming, Utah... tons of beautiful nature and cool towns, Cody WY, Moab UT, Jackson WY, Telluride CO ect... or hit up Texas, Louisiana, Florida... the Gulf and Cajun Country or arguably the most beautiful place in America, Kauai HI...where Jurassic Park was filmed
Happy Bastille Day. California is crazy diverse. Hope you see the Redwoods and Yosemite on your next visit there. I love Canada, can't wait to see the vids. Marie, the wanderer and explorer-my goodness! What memories for later in life. Viva L'Voyager.
Hope United Air Line's treated you right. I retired from United, as a baggage handler in Denver Colorado, 21 yrs, in 2005. Glad you had fun in Diego. I went there, for my Bootcamp, into the Navy, in 1970. You could live in the States. Get a job with United. You could fly home to France and your folks could fly to the states, FREE.
Glad you got to come to the USA. Next time go to Yellowstone, Grand Teton Mountains and the northern Rockies. Thank you for sharing your vacation. I'd love to get to France someday. Best wishes from Florida.
It is so tender and heart-warming that you've cried both times you've left the US after visiting. Of course, you are welcome back any time, sweet girl. The US misses you when you're away! 🥰 I'm looking forward to your wrap up video, and for the Canadian adventure videos too! I hope you've enjoyed the fireworks for Fête nationale française! Have a great weekend, my friend! 😃❣✨
Aww...don't be sad. I'll speak for the entire country, you're welcome anytime!😊...come back soon! Saw the protests on TV, you stay safe over there. I'm sure your family is happy you are back.
Hi Marie, thanks for sharing your day at Sea World. One day I have to go there and I'm hoping soon. Thanks for such a lovely video but I'm sorry about the troubles at Paris airport. Take care!
I really enjoyed following your adventures in my home town! 😀 San Diego is such a beautiful place with so much to do, we often take for granted just how much we have here, so it's good to see it from the perspective of a visitor to help us appreciate it a little more. Should you find your way back here some day, a few things you might want to add to your list of things to see and do: Along the waterfront near downtown you should visit the Maritime Museum where they have on display a number of boats and ships (including US and Russian submarines!), with the star attraction being the "Star of India" tall ship... one of the oldest iron hull sailing ships still around and seaworthy. A little farther south, past the cruise ship terminal, is the USS Midway museum... a retired aircraft carrier with a lot of aircraft on display that once flew off its deck. Another favorite place is La Jolla Cove (especially the Ellen Browning Scripps Park area). With steep craggy cliffs, rock outcrops shaped by the surf, it's a great place to relax listening to the surf crashing on the cliffs, and watch a sunset. Quite a number of fine restaurants and bars around the area as well. Watching the low flying jets coming into Lindbergh Field (one of the few major airports that's still located right next to the Downtown area) is something that always stuns visitors, but I guess in the course of my almost 72 years, I've become accustomed to it.
Hi Marie!!! I'm sorry I'm late again 😔! I have never taken so many notes on any video . . . yours just touched my heart the whole time ❤. Seaworld is a really interesting and fun visit (I love your hat and heart earrings 😊), and I have been in both San Diego and San Antonio 😊. It was a very nice day, and you showed the cool eels, the smooth fish you touched, and you passed the Chicken Snack Shack 😂and the Dolphin area on your way to the seals and Orca. I loved the signs "Journey to Atlantis" and "Wild Arctic" ! That white Beluga whale was soooo beautiful 🐳🐳 and fun to watch above and below water level 🤗. Then we saw the sleepy brown seal, the black one swimming, and the speckled one rotating in place 😮, followed by the HUGE walrus climbing up out of the water - WOW!! Mantas or Stingrays are SO fascinating too, among the big, different colored turtles 🐢(that was a cool view from beneath the swimming turtle) and the varied colorful schools of fish 🐟swimming by (so many kinds). I loved the stingray gliding, looking like it is flapping wings to propel itself! You caught that pretty pink floral display, and then I spotted a Marie coming up the steps with her cap 😅(I have to be careful in the sun too!). It's always fun to see the seals splash the audience and trainer, and to see the dolphin come out of the water for the trainer. There were some great dolphin jumps with pairs of threes, 8 jumping simultaneously in a semicircle (amazing teamwork timing) 🤗! I loved your "I want some fish too" by that cute bird watching! They even had that fun rotating ride as you passed by, and Ooooh that Cotton Candy 😍 and an $11 hot dog ⁉ I also loved your playful picture taking by the wooden penguins 😉😉. An octopus (so cool) and then the walk through dark but colorful corridors and seeing BIG sharks 🦈🦈 swim by overhead - fascinating to watch! And GOLIATH (Oh my goodness - simply WOW!). You caught a very cool spotted shark before Penguin Land, and the first penguin🐧 was performing quite a swimming motion 😄(they are so fast). Then the pretty black and white Cie, plus starfish on the wall underneath them - creatures one would hardly ever encounter! That bird had an interesting curved beak shape, and all the animals were watching the worker in blue and yellow - I think it would be fun to work there! I would never have seen the NEMO (Clown Fish) without your arrow - yes, they "are not easy to see." One seal was relaxing by the waterall while those other two had mouths wide open for food 😁. What was that bird with the long black beak and yellow talons?? You caught a great picture of the brown/white striped shark right before ORCA (Wow - So BIG!!) 🐋and I loved the cool curled fin on top of the cool black/white colored Orcas! You were at work creating Marie's amazing floral photography next 🥰🌷! Ha ha, the "In case you didn't see it" Black Mustang 😂. That was a huge cruise ship on the way to souvenir shopping (cool "Good Times Start Here" sign). And some wonderful captures of a Big Sailboat and another boat (schooner?), right behind which was a VERY LOW landing airplane amidst all those buildings ("I can't get used to it" - yes - scary)! King Crab had cool creatures in the net on the ceiling (like the swordfish), and I would love a Cajun Seafood Boil restaurant 😋where your dinner and drink looked delicious (I loved the "Sweet Staff, Great Food")! Awhhh, Marie, departure day was so awfully hard on you, you had trouble speaking as you truly looked SOOO freaking sad 😥😥, and then you said "actually let's hope the plane is canceled and I stay here" 😥😭with tears welling up and flowing, and then you said the beautiful day made you even sadder, and I started crying with you 😥😭. Your face was so sad as you said "I just don't want to go," and my heart just hurt for you Marie ❤😥. Your flight from S.D. through San Francisco with the LONG layover, and then almost 11 more hours to Paris was SO long, even with a good tail wind, especially when you were so sad and down 😔, you whispered "but it was great." Marie, you did not need the disaster that awaited you ("it was too much"), with the violent rioters inside your terminal 1, trying to get your luggage through the mess, and then having to run to the train, which you made only at the Final Doors Closing Whistle ("Wait for me!!)! They even canceled one train route, and I'm so glad your mom and brother were able to drive to the distant city to pick you up Marie (sweet friend, you did not need or deserve all that while you were deeply saddened and hurt so much inside 😥🙏), I am SO SORRY. You again wished you had stayed in the U.S. like the first trip. It would be hard to leave your family and move here anytime soon. I really loved your beautiful S.D. flower shirt - so perfect for you Marie 🥰🥰! (cool seeing more dolphins rotating here at the end) I truly loved your magical video work here again, Marie, and look forward to more about your thoughts on the U.S. trip and then Canada! Traveling is fun, but I agree, it comes with a price with things not so great about it. I so loved you got to see the fireworks two nights in a row at Bastille day time, and especially that you were with your family ❤. Thank you so much young lady for your amazing hard work to give these videos to us . . . I love 🥰 you and your work both, and I so hope and pray you will please take care of you Marie ❤🙏🥰❣
Thank you for letting us inside your travels! In particular those of us with mobility limitations appreciate the chance to see the world outside our immediate surroundings. You’ve shown me more of America than I could ever have hoped to visit in person. Wherever you should visit or end up staying, I hope you are as welcomed and loved as you make me feel through watching your videos.
Marie, we would love to have you stay with us. You are an asset wherever you are. I enjoy all of your videos. I do hope you can cruse on the Mississippi river someday. There are some interesting sites along the river, starting with New Orleans, and also St Louis. A trip to the top of the Gateway Arch is exciting.
Well, now you have seen parts of the East Coast and West Coast, you need to visit the middle. When you come back, spend some time in the Midwest. We have many interesting things for you to explore.
Salut Sweet Marie 😃 🐬 Your making a splash showing all the amazing marine life there. The belugas allua , ferdinand & klondike are so warm hearted it's endearing how they like carrying objects , so friendly & curious just like the dolphins , with them coming from the arctic I'm guessing it isn't easy keeping them cool in the hot weather. I'm always pleased whenever you see a sea turtle , it's remarkable how big they can grow hopefully they'll eventually return them to the open seas. Was that really Nemo 🐠 I'm glad somebody found & rescued him from that dentists aquarium. The 🦈 sharks are sleek , they don't deserve their bad reputation they act on instinct , it isn't personal I blame jaws , I'll never forget that scene from jaws 3D with the great white coming out of the screen & that guy shooting a harpoon right up to my eyes. Liked the 🐧& seals with their whiskers they do kinda remind you of dogs & big cats they sure do like to play a lot , maybe when you'll go back you can feed the sea lions at fisherman's wharf. I wasn't expecting any puffins at seaworld , they remind me of my wild Scottish roots they've got small wings for diving & are nicknamed sea parrots & breed in burrows. I hope you visit the Scottish Highlands & picturesque islands one day , did you know Conner McCloud in the movie⚔️ was played by Chris Lambert a fellow Frenchie. The dolphins & orcas 🐋 with their aero dynamics were breath taking , remarkably intelligent & eager to please makes you want to learn much more about them , there is a lot of controversy about keeping them there with what happened but I don't want to go into it here , you can look that up yourself with black fish etc , there has been news of orcas attacking boats off the Iberian coast , on a good note Lola after 50 years has been returned home to the sea. King 🦀 looked like a cool hangout at it's yummy best 😋 , overall your California roadtrip been so much fun to watch along, with it's cityscapes, animals & beautiful beaches , it's enlightening coming from your french perspective. I know how it must feel having to leave somewhere your fond of & having to return home , you do seem happier living out of a suitcase , sorry you had to deal with all that trouble it'll make you stronger in the long run , good thing you've got a family that's there in your hour of need. I don't know if there's that many cities that don't have there share of issues right now, were all looking for a piece of heaven a sanctuary from the craziness , how does that song go when Tony sings to maria Somewhere there's a place for us from westside story , the seekers a world of our own also comes to mind. No matter how you feel just take a deep breath & picture yourself back at the beach & let your worries wash away with the sunrise & count your blessings & roll with the changes it's a beautiful world , you will always have friends that appreciate your kindness & generosity , don't unless its tears of joy, we love you for being true to yourself . Thanks Marie , like the cool t-shirt & hat , stay strong & have a wonderful weekend 😎 🌻🧡🖐️
I’m glad you enjoyed your trip to California. You got a nice taste of the southern part of the state. Hopefully you’ll get to visit again and see parts of the Sierras or more of the sights on the central or northern coast.
Marie, tes vidéos sont charmantes, et ta musique de fond est bien faite. Il est toujours triste de finir un voyage; nous avons souvent été tristes de quitter la France et de retourner aux États-Unis. Mais nous avons toujours des souvenirs heureux à chérir, et vous aussi. A bientot.
Hello Miss Marie !!! Happy Bastille Day 🤗👍👍 instead of seals we get the Manatee here in Florida, Also Bears Fla. Panthers & Gators wit A massive Amount of Snakes & Insects let alone sea life on Both the Atlantic ocean 🌊 & Gulf of Mexico !!! With the heat being in the 90's degrees with upper 70' s in humidity Very hot 🔥🥵 We the People of the USA will Miss you visiting our County 🥴 Still we hope you get to visit Again you get to visit another Area !!! Please know we pray for your safe journey and Relaxing return 😎👍👍🌞 like button 🔘 has been Illuminated
I love so much that you love to come here, and were sad to go back home! But as the expression goes, “there’s no place like home!” You’re a true cultural ambassador Marie. I guarantee 🇺🇸 can’t wait for your next visit!
You are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. I was in tears seeing that you were is such tears. So sorry you had to go home, but so happy you are safe. Looking forward to your next adventure. Be safe and as always have fun.
Just getting caught up on your last four videos. I've been so busy. Nice to see you had a good time. I look forward to your future adventures! Take Care & Best Wishes.
Je suis ravi que tu adores tellement de notre pays. Je suis americain et j'apprends le français depuis deux mois. Je suis super débutant et alors, pardonne-moi pour mon français... j'aime profiter de chaque occasion pour m'entraîner. Parfois, je crois que tout le monde n'aime pas notre les etats-unis. On a des problèmes, bien sûr. Je ne vais pas le nier. Mais, il y a trop de beauté dans ce pays aussi. J'espère que tu avais un bon voyage!
❤❤❤ The Sea Worlds, the Marine lands, the mega aquariums are all so great to visit. Nice, you got a last day Mustang sighting. Sorry to see you go. So happy you had a great time. Just remember, Marie, America is always open. Most of us look forward to sharing your adventures. That is another curly W in the books. Stay well.
Again as your previous vlogs on your visit to Southern California I'm glad you had fun and enjoyed your thoughts Marie ... You are a beautiful person. Sea World is special to myself and my daughters as they went there with me and their mom many times growing up. Be safe at home❤
I'm glad you had a great time in California Marie. This is my home state and San Diego is a lot of fun and the weather is very nice. We enjoy having you and the French people. 😎😎
You're such a sweetheart. I'm so glad you got to see and do so much. Seeing you happy makes me very happy. Please tell your parents they did a wonderful job raising their daughter.❤ 😊 💥🌟✨ Enjoy your fireworks with your family.
You're such a compassionate human being. Watching you get emotional on your day of departure almost got me choked up! And I'm not the one who went on the trip! I'm glad you had an amazing experience and it was a pleasure watching you share it with us. I look forward to the next videos where you visit my home country! 🇨🇦 These will be a real treat to watch! Happy Bastille Day, and stay safe! 🇫🇷 ⚜ 🎆 🎉
Glad you had a great time here in the USA! 🇺🇸 Hope to see you again someday. My wife and I love your videos! We’re wishing you all the best! We’ll be watching!
Remember USA is so much more than Cali and Midwest. Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, NC , and Kentucky are very beautiful must see n dos and southern hospitality like u have never experienced. God bless
Marie, another great video! I really like your camera skills, not to mention your editing. So sorry you had such hassles at CDG. It does seem like there are a lot of protests in France. While you were sad that you had to leave, you are always welcome back!!! Not sure if you have done this before, but i personally would love videos of different places in your country. Merci beaucoup. :-)
You only seen Southern California. You may consider traveling to Northern California, where I am from. San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Sonoma County, Sacramento are all here! Speaking of Canada, you may consider traveling to Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria. Glad that you like Canada and the USA.
Enjoyed watching this series of visiting the usa. France is also a beautiful country which is also safer but wherever you go..Best of luck to you. We are celebrating Bastille Days this weekend here in Wisconsin. There are many French decendents here so it's always a fun get together.
thanks for stopping by and checking out my state california(granted one part of it 😂) ! you're always welcomed back. can't wait for your future videos in canada.
So glad you got to see so much while you were here. 2nd Sunday of June is that big Mustang cruise in Tucson,AZ.. ya know.. for ideas/planning your next trip out
Will await your Hawaii and Alaska show. For Alaska I suggest a cruise up the inland passage and then to Anchorage where you can see that side of Alaska.
Nice video Marie. I love SeaWorld ❤️ Did you get to feed the Stingrays or the Seals 🦭 Yes it's hard to leave somewhere when you're having a good time. Hopefully things calm down in France soon 🙏 Take care and stay safe 🙏 ❤️
Violent protesting is a terrible way to try and get people on your side. It never works and in the end it causes more problems for the ones you're protesting FOR not against. Anyway, I love that you love visiting my country. It's always fascinating to see it from the perspective of someone from another country. Hope you come again soon!
@@Frog4Life207 Those weren't wars overnight, there was violent protesting before they turned into wars. The Boston Tea Party (even though it wasn't violent really) for an example. The protest near the Bastille in France etc.
Dear Marie, I'm so sorry to hear that you had another difficult return to France. I do remember all the troubles you had on your first return. I hate to see you sad sweetie. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug. I hope the memories of your trip will help boost your spirits. I must say that your underwater filming was some of your best yet. Looking forward to more of your outstanding videos. If you're feeling down, remember how much joy you bring us.
I loved this whole series Marie. I could see the sadness in you having to head home but think of all the amazing times and things you got to experience. Next trip you should do the Southeast...North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida....etc. Always enjoy your videos dear. Stay safe and hugs from the USA!
Just before the Mustang sighting, the Kansas City Barbeque restaurant was one of the locations for the original "Top Gun" movie. Thanks for the reminder how wonderful San Diego is.
Thank you Marie for sharing your travel experiences with us. Your joyfilness and enthusiasm shine through and it makes the viewing experience incredibly enjoyable! I'm looking forward to your future episodes and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful weekend!
Thank you Marie, for sharing your adventures with us. You are always so positive and enthusiastic, and see the wonder in all things large and small. It is refreshing to see so much positivity and warmth -- which is what the world could use more of these days.
So glad you enjoyed your trip. Hopefully you'll visit us again. It's a big country with a lot of different places to see. Your videos put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing.
Looks like you had a fun day at SeaWorld. I wish you could have stayed longer in the States. You looked so sad but you can come back and visit us hopefully. Love all your videos. 😊
Though you probably won't hit the Golden State again very soon, as our beautiful Country has so many wonderful States and areas, like France, do understand that the climate and geography of Southern Cal is very different from the Desert Area, the immense Central Valley (farmland...Hello!), the Central Coast, the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Bay Area and North Coast, and the hilly, wooded Northern Cal !!! So much diversity in one U.S. state !! It really is like a whole country rolled into one state. Glad you enjoyed a part of it, and come back any time !!!!
So glad to hear that you love America that much right 🇺🇸👍
My son and his GF went to France in April and loved it. They didn't want to go back to southern California where we all live. It's funny how you get use to the place you've lived all your life and don't realize it's a pretty nice place to live.
The privilege of living here is invisible to a lot of people.
San Diego is fantastic, isn’t it? I grew up there till age 12, and served in the Navy there. I’m glad you got to see such a beautiful place. I miss it a lot.
Marie, it sucks to see you have to leave America, but I understand that it has to happen at this point in your life. I was actually surprised to hear you say that you wouldn't want to actually live in the US and that you're only interested in visiting. I suppose that makes sense in a way, although it is my opinion that America would be better with you in it, and considering your love of living in the mountains, it would be a crime for you to return to the States and NOT visit Denver and Boulder, Colorado. The mountains in the Rockies aren't as big as the ones in the Alps, but they aren't bad either and certainly give you the same feeling. If you ever decide to visit Washington State, please do not hesitate to reach out to me about incredible places to see and experience. I no longer live there, but know that State like the back of my hand. Thank you for this awesome video series and I look forward to seeing where you find yourself next! Keep Smiling Marie!
I ENJOYED YOUR BLOG & TRIP TO THE U.S.A THANKS MARIE😎
Somehow, she always seems to make my day.
A little late to the comments, I just discovered you with this video. I'm really proud that you had a great time at the Safari Park (that will be my next video). It's in my home town (Escondido, CA) and it's a huge mark of pride for us. The animals live such amazing lives in the absolutely beautiful enclosures. They have interactive family friendly exhibits.

Thanks so much for the update Marie, enjoyed you visiting my old stomping grounds one last time! Made me sad to see you cry😂. Looking forward to your upcoming videos!!!❤
You still have so much to see here ! My job has taken me all over the country over the last 20 years and I've only scratched the surface of what's to be seen ! Glad you enjoyed your time here and please come back! By the way......I miss your Angelina Jordan reactions ! Maybe if you get time it'll happen !
Oh Marie I do truly feel sad for you and all the troubles you had getting home. 😕
California will be a little less sunny and please come again!
Marie, I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself in my country. I'm kinda like you when on vacation. I don't want to go home. But, once I am started home I'm glad to get there and get back to my daily routine.
Thank you for being you ❤
I'm glad you had a good time in the States.
Thanks for sharing - I live in Maryland and am getting educated about the many places you’ve been!
Thank you so much. Another lovely video. I look forward to following your travels!
Next up you need to check out Colorado, Wyoming, Utah... tons of beautiful nature and cool towns, Cody WY, Moab UT, Jackson WY, Telluride CO ect...
or hit up Texas, Louisiana, Florida... the Gulf and Cajun Country
or arguably the most beautiful place in America, Kauai HI...where Jurassic Park was filmed
Happy Bastille Day. California is crazy diverse. Hope you see the Redwoods and Yosemite on your next visit there. I love Canada, can't wait to see the vids. Marie, the wanderer and explorer-my goodness! What memories for later in life. Viva L'Voyager.
Hellooooo Marie.
Greetings from Vermont.. enjoying listen to that beautiful accent of yours..
Take care..
You made me tear up Marie.! Bless your heart.! That was sad.!. Oh yeah, lately I forget that you're Frentastic you are speaking English so well.!
I'm so glad you enjoyed my hometown. ❤️ From San Diego
San Diego Old Town is the best shopping. There are unique boutiques downtown, but you have them in Paris too.
I’m really glad you enjoyed the West Coast!! Please Come Back & Enjoy & Explore Some More!!! 🇺🇸
Such a sweet young lady!
Thank you, Marie, for always being so positive -- and for finding and discovering the good parts of America.
loved this series of videos from this trip!!!
Glad you had a good time. You getting teared up gave me watery eyes. LOL

Bonne Fete Nationale!
Happy Bastille Day!
Aww...don't be sad. I'll speak for the entire country, you're welcome anytime!😊...come back soon! Saw the protests on TV, you stay safe over there. I'm sure your family is happy you are back.
The music in your videos is always perfect.
Thanks! 😊

And some wonderful captures of a Big Sailboat and another boat (schooner?), right behind which was a VERY LOW landing airplane amidst all those buildings ("I can't get used to it" - yes - scary)! King Crab had cool creatures in the net on the ceiling (like the swordfish), and I would love a Cajun Seafood Boil restaurant 😋where your dinner and drink looked delicious (I loved the "Sweet Staff, Great Food")! Awhhh, Marie, departure day was so awfully hard on you, you had trouble speaking as you truly looked SOOO freaking sad 😥😥, and then you said "actually let's hope the plane is canceled and I stay here" 😥😭with tears welling up and flowing, and then you said the beautiful day made you even sadder, and I started crying with you 😥😭. Your face was so sad as you said "I just don't want to go," and my heart just hurt for you Marie ❤😥. Your flight from S.D. through San Francisco with the LONG layover, and then almost 11 more hours to Paris was SO long, even with a good tail wind, especially when you were so sad and down 😔, you whispered "but it was great." Marie, you did not need the disaster that awaited you ("it was too much"), with the violent rioters inside your terminal 1, trying to get your luggage through the mess, and then having to run to the train, which you made only at the Final Doors Closing Whistle ("Wait for me!!)! They even canceled one train route, and I'm so glad your mom and brother were able to drive to the distant city to pick you up Marie (sweet friend, you did not need or deserve all that while you were deeply saddened and hurt so much inside 😥🙏), I am SO SORRY. You again wished you had stayed in the U.S. like the first trip. It would be hard to leave your family and move here anytime soon. I really loved your beautiful S.D. flower shirt - so perfect for you Marie 🥰🥰! (cool seeing more dolphins rotating here at the end) I truly loved your magical video work here again, Marie, and look forward to more about your thoughts on the U.S. trip and then Canada! Traveling is fun, but I agree, it comes with a price with things not so great about it. I so loved you got to see the fireworks two nights in a row at Bastille day time, and especially that you were with your family ❤. Thank you so much young lady for your amazing hard work to give these videos to us . . . I love 🥰 you and your work both, and I so hope and pray you will please take care of you Marie ❤🙏🥰❣
Thank you for letting us inside your travels! In particular those of us with mobility limitations appreciate the chance to see the world outside our immediate surroundings. You’ve shown me more of America than I could ever have hoped to visit in person. Wherever you should visit or end up staying, I hope you are as welcomed and loved as you make me feel through watching your videos.
Marie, we would love to have you stay with us. You are an asset wherever you are. I enjoy all of your videos. I do hope you can cruse on the Mississippi river someday. There are some interesting sites along the river, starting with New Orleans, and also St Louis. A trip to the top of the Gateway Arch is exciting.
I'm glad you're having a good time in the States. Come back again soon. Try New England while it's warm out!
Well, now you have seen parts of the East Coast and West Coast, you need to visit the middle. When you come back, spend some time in the Midwest. We have many interesting things for you to explore.
Another well-produced video. You definitely have a talent for this. Great job!
Salut Sweet Marie 😃 🐬
Your making a splash showing all the amazing marine life there. The belugas allua , ferdinand & klondike are so warm hearted it's endearing how they like carrying objects , so friendly & curious just like the dolphins , with them coming from the arctic I'm guessing it isn't easy keeping them cool in the hot weather. I'm always pleased whenever you see a sea turtle , it's remarkable how big they can grow hopefully they'll eventually return them to the open seas. Was that really Nemo 🐠 I'm glad somebody found & rescued him from that dentists aquarium. The 🦈 sharks are sleek , they don't deserve their bad reputation they act on instinct , it isn't personal I blame jaws , I'll never forget that scene from jaws 3D with the great white coming out of the screen & that guy shooting a harpoon right up to my eyes. Liked the 🐧& seals with their whiskers they do kinda remind you of dogs & big cats they sure do like to play a lot , maybe when you'll go back you can feed the sea lions at fisherman's wharf. I wasn't expecting any puffins at seaworld , they remind me of my wild Scottish roots they've got small wings for diving & are nicknamed sea parrots & breed in burrows. I hope you visit the Scottish Highlands & picturesque islands one day , did you know Conner McCloud in the movie⚔️ was played by Chris Lambert a fellow Frenchie.
The dolphins & orcas 🐋 with their aero dynamics were breath taking , remarkably intelligent & eager to please makes you want to learn much more about them , there is a lot of controversy about keeping them there with what happened but I don't want to go into it here , you can look that up yourself with black fish etc , there has been news of orcas attacking boats off the Iberian coast , on a good note Lola after 50 years has been returned home to the sea.
King 🦀 looked like a cool hangout at it's yummy best 😋 , overall your California roadtrip been so much fun to watch along, with it's cityscapes, animals & beautiful beaches , it's enlightening coming from your french perspective. I know how it must feel having to leave somewhere your fond of & having to return home , you do seem happier living out of a suitcase , sorry you had to deal with all that trouble it'll make you stronger in the long run , good thing you've got a family that's there in your hour of need. I don't know if there's that many cities that don't have there share of issues right now, were all looking for a piece of heaven a sanctuary from the craziness , how does that song go when Tony sings to maria Somewhere there's a place for us from westside story , the seekers a world of our own also comes to mind. No matter how you feel just take a deep breath & picture yourself back at the beach & let your worries wash away with the sunrise & count your blessings & roll with the changes it's a beautiful world , you will always have friends that appreciate your kindness & generosity , don't unless its tears of joy, we love you for being true to yourself .
Thanks Marie , like the cool t-shirt & hat , stay strong & have a wonderful weekend 😎 🌻🧡🖐️
Remember Marie, its never goodbye....its ill see ya later. Love the smile
We will always be waiting for you here in America.
I’m glad you enjoyed your trip to California. You got a nice taste of the southern part of the state. Hopefully you’ll get to visit again and see parts of the Sierras or more of the sights on the central or northern coast.
Marie, tes vidéos sont charmantes, et ta musique de fond est bien faite. Il est toujours triste de finir un voyage; nous avons souvent été tristes de quitter la France et de retourner aux États-Unis. Mais nous avons toujours des souvenirs heureux à chérir, et vous aussi. A bientot.
You know it’s a wonderful trip when you’re sad to leave. Thanks for sharing your travels

I love so much that you love to come here, and were sad to go back home! But as the expression goes, “there’s no place like home!”
You’re a true cultural ambassador Marie. I guarantee 🇺🇸 can’t wait for your next visit!
So glad you had a great time maybe next time you can make it to Yellowstone and Grand Teton nationals park so beautiful! Safe travels!
You are amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. I was in tears seeing that you were is such tears. So sorry you had to go home, but so happy you are safe. Looking forward to your next adventure. Be safe and as always have fun.
Just getting caught up on your last four videos. I've been so busy. Nice to see you had a good time. I look forward to your future adventures! Take Care & Best Wishes.
SEA WORLD IS MAGIC like FRENCHSTASTIC.Thank you for the series in USA and sharing your adventures...
Je suis ravi que tu adores tellement de notre pays. Je suis americain et j'apprends le français depuis deux mois. Je suis super débutant et alors, pardonne-moi pour mon français... j'aime profiter de chaque occasion pour m'entraîner.
Parfois, je crois que tout le monde n'aime pas notre les etats-unis. On a des problèmes, bien sûr. Je ne vais pas le nier. Mais, il y a trop de beauté dans ce pays aussi.
J'espère que tu avais un bon voyage!
❤❤❤ The Sea Worlds, the Marine lands, the mega aquariums are all so great to visit. Nice, you got a last day Mustang sighting. Sorry to see you go. So happy you had a great time. Just remember, Marie, America is always open. Most of us look forward to sharing your adventures. That is another curly W in the books. Stay well.
Again as your previous vlogs on your visit to Southern California I'm glad you had fun and enjoyed your thoughts Marie ... You are a beautiful person. Sea World is special to myself and my daughters as they went there with me and their mom many times growing up. Be safe at home❤
I'm glad you had a great time in California Marie. This is my home state and San Diego is a lot of fun and the weather is very nice. We enjoy having you and the French people. 😎😎
I love watching you enjoy places with new eyes that I have been many times. I am glad you enjoyed yourself.
You've made me so homesick for Southern California. Love your videos.
You're such a sweetheart. I'm so glad you got to see and do so much. Seeing you happy makes me very happy. Please tell your parents they did a wonderful job raising their daughter.❤ 😊 💥🌟✨ Enjoy your fireworks with your family.
It is a pleasure to have you visit the U.S.A. come back soon.
Just returned from a cruise to SE Alaska....fantastic suggestion for your next travels? Love, love, sharing your adventures! ❤
You're such a compassionate human being. Watching you get emotional on your day of departure almost got me choked up! And I'm not the one who went on the trip! I'm glad you had an amazing experience and it was a pleasure watching you share it with us. I look forward to the next videos where you visit my home country! 🇨🇦 These will be a real treat to watch! Happy Bastille Day, and stay safe! 🇫🇷 ⚜ 🎆 🎉
So sorry you had such trouble. Glad you had a good time and made it home safely!
Glad you had a great time here in the USA! 🇺🇸 Hope to see you again someday. My wife and I love your videos! We’re wishing you all the best! We’ll be watching!
Thanks 🥺
Remember USA is so much more than Cali and Midwest. Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, NC , and Kentucky are very beautiful must see n dos and southern hospitality like u have never experienced. God bless
I'm glad you had a great time in California!!!!
Thanks! For Sharing your adventures. Hopefully you get to travel to French Polynesia 🇵🇫 , Vietnam 🇻🇳 , and Singapore 🇸🇬 in the future.
Thank you very much!! I definitely will! 🇻🇳🇸🇬🇵🇫
Marie, another great video! I really like your camera skills, not to mention your editing. So sorry you had such hassles at CDG. It does seem like there are a lot of protests in France. While you were sad that you had to leave, you are always welcome back!!! Not sure if you have done this before, but i personally would love videos of different places in your country. Merci beaucoup. :-)
You only seen Southern California. You may consider traveling to Northern California, where I am from. San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Sonoma County, Sacramento are all here!
Speaking of Canada, you may consider traveling to Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria.
Glad that you like Canada and the USA.
This was my fav park when I was a child. Now I have dolphins in my back yard that swim by my dock in the afternoons. Love them so much
I am glad you enjoyed my hometown of San Diego. I hope you can come back again soon!
Enjoyed watching this series of visiting the usa. France is also a beautiful country which is also safer but wherever you go..Best of luck to you. We are celebrating Bastille Days this weekend here in Wisconsin. There are many French decendents here so it's always a fun get together.
thanks for stopping by and checking out my state california(granted one part of it 😂) ! you're always welcomed back. can't wait for your future videos in canada.
Always enjoy your comments / perspectives, the good, the bad, and anything else.
SeaWorld looks amazing, so glad you had another great trip to the U.S.A. Thanks for sharing your journey with us 🙂.
It’s been a pleasure having you as a guest!🇺🇸🇫🇷
So glad you got to see so much while you were here. 2nd Sunday of June is that big Mustang cruise in Tucson,AZ.. ya know.. for ideas/planning your next trip out
hi marie! thanks for sharing your vacation with us! i feel like i was right there too lol 💛
Will await your Hawaii and Alaska show. For Alaska I suggest a cruise up the inland passage and then to Anchorage where you can see that side of Alaska.
So glad you had a good time. You almost made me tear up. Can't wait for the Canadian trip videos. Take care and stay well.
Nice video Marie. I love SeaWorld ❤️ Did you get to feed the Stingrays or the Seals 🦭 Yes it's hard to leave somewhere when you're having a good time. Hopefully things calm down in France soon 🙏 Take care and stay safe 🙏 ❤️
Violent protesting is a terrible way to try and get people on your side. It never works and in the end it causes more problems for the ones you're protesting FOR not against. Anyway, I love that you love visiting my country. It's always fascinating to see it from the perspective of someone from another country. Hope you come again soon!
While I don't normally support violent protests, sometimes it is necessary. See: American Revolution, French Revolution etc.
@@LordLOC Those aren’t examples of violent protesting. Those were wars
@@Frog4Life207 Those weren't wars overnight, there was violent protesting before they turned into wars. The Boston Tea Party (even though it wasn't violent really) for an example. The protest near the Bastille in France etc.
San Diego is my favorite city in the United States.
Dear Marie, I'm so sorry to hear that you had another difficult return to France. I do remember all the troubles you had on your first return.
I hate to see you sad sweetie. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a hug. I hope the memories of your trip will help boost your spirits. I must say that your underwater filming was some of your best yet.
Looking forward to more of your outstanding videos. If you're feeling down, remember how much joy you bring us.
I loved this whole series Marie. I could see the sadness in you having to head home but think of all the amazing times and things you got to experience. Next trip you should do the Southeast...North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida....etc. Always enjoy your videos dear. Stay safe and hugs from the USA!
She's absolutely gorgeous ❤
Just before the Mustang sighting, the Kansas City Barbeque restaurant was one of the locations for the original "Top Gun" movie. Thanks for the reminder how wonderful San Diego is.
Happy Bastille Day, Marie! Vive la France!
Thank you Marie for sharing your travel experiences with us. Your joyfilness and enthusiasm shine through and it makes the viewing experience incredibly enjoyable! I'm looking forward to your future episodes and I hope you have an absolutely wonderful weekend!
Thank you Marie, for sharing your adventures with us. You are always so positive and enthusiastic, and see the wonder in all things large and small. It is refreshing to see so much positivity and warmth -- which is what the world could use more of these days.
GLAD YOU ENJOYED ARIZONA. BEST PLACE TO LIVE.
So glad you enjoyed the U.S.A. again! Come back again soon! P.S. Happy Bastille Day! 🎉🎉🎉
You need to come back and do more!! You haven’t scratched the surface of the USA!! 😊
So glad you enjoyed your trip. Hopefully you'll visit us again. It's a big country with a lot of different places to see. Your videos put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing.
You are just a travelin' sort of lady. LOL!! I will look forward to seeing Canada through your eyes. 🙂
Merci beaucoup Marie.
Looks like you had a fun day at SeaWorld. I wish you could have stayed longer in the States. You looked so sad but you can come back and visit us hopefully. Love all your videos. 😊
Born and raised in San Diego (still live there part time). Glad to see you enjoyed our town!
Though you probably won't hit the Golden State again very soon, as our beautiful Country has so many wonderful States and areas, like France, do understand that the climate and geography of Southern Cal is very different from the Desert Area, the immense Central Valley (farmland...Hello!), the Central Coast, the Sierra Nevada mountains, the Bay Area and North Coast, and the hilly, wooded Northern Cal !!! So much diversity in one U.S. state !! It really is like a whole country rolled into one state. Glad you enjoyed a part of it, and come back any time !!!!
