My husband and I watch you when he was really sick. He passed away July 19th and you guys really took his mind off his troubles. He always said they are doing the trips I would like to take you on. Just remember you affect other people and your content and personalities are amazing. You impressed him and that took alot.
Wow Debby, I don't think saying Thank you is enough. We are happy to be able to share our adventures with you and can't imagine the feelings you're having. Thank you so much 💕💕💕
Great Q&A, guys! Yes, one day when the stars align, we'll get together in person and have a meal. Like us, the big takeaway from being RUclips creators is the precious times you two share together making memories. Keep doing what you're doing!
Hey peeps ! Really appreciate you answering my question. I’ve been to 35 countries so still have a long way to go .My sisters a NICU nurse so it’s cool you both are in nursing . I think I’ve been with your channel for over 2 years now.It’s truly one of my favorites . PS ..I agree with Pete from LA ..I miss your opening intro . Always makes me smile seeing you sky dive and the other clips 😎😎😎
Josh and Rachael - loved this video! Thank you for sharing! I also wanted to thank you for bringing a smile to my face when I've had some really hard times. My dad was sick and he passed over a year ago. I found your RUclips channel during that time and it served as a real distraction - I was able to get in a different head space and picture myself in Vegas, Rome, Greece, or on a cruise. You really helped me get through it, and your videos are something I look forward to every week. Please keep doing what you're doing and enjoy every second of if! I work in healthcare as well, and you're right - you really don't know what day will be your last. PS - NYC and I would love to have you back!
I'm so sorry about your Dad. Glad that we could provide some escape during that time. Thank you so much and trust me we want to add NYC all the time there are just so many places we want to go to.
Aww...I loved this! 100% agree with travel now while you can. Thanks for sharing your RUclips advice. You were one of the channels we watched before starting our own, so we appreciate all that you've shared over the last four years. Congrats on your four years and the 34k+ subscribers! 🍾
I loved you before but knowing you are nurses is even more impressive. We are experts at time management and you certainly excel in that area. Love your love of life. Keep up the great work ❤
We loved the Q&A. We just had our one year anniversary doing RUclips breakfast videos. But the number of restaurants are finite. So we are expanding to travel and fitness. Who knows what the future brings. We did it all for fun and adventure just like you guys. Great job.
Paul here (from James and Paul on my viewer account) - just got back from 6 days in Vegas and loved the answers about vlogging/content creation and thanks for addressing the question I had ❤. That’s a good tip about non-Las Vegas stuff too (generally we have tried some stuff outside of Vegas but it never took off - it does give me hope that we could potentially try again with some LA stuff in the future but we also worry that we could potentially turn off our Vegas audience). And Evergreen is thankfully a side of things that we are placing some focus on ❤ (so good to know that we are on the right track) Admittedly though, hearing that last part about burnout did kinda sting because getting home from our last trip yesterday (where we filmed 16 vlogs and 17 slot plays), we constantly call our Vegas trips a “business trip” and we went “go go go” in the last 6 days and now I’m home and it’s Wednesday and I am going to cram out editing this Saturday’s episode by our usual 9am time after work and it’s “crunch time” to not miss a week 😮 - After getting home we were both like, “Why or how do we push ourselves like this?” And yeah… I can also relate to the whole staying in and being frugal when not traveling or filming or doing stuff for the channel. That and stacking credit card points and leveraging comps. And yeah… I can relate, the Adsense payments may pay for one or two videos, but definitely not enough to fund the channel. And that’s the same philosophy James and I follow, we want to be able to do this stuff while we are able to and not have regrets. So many similarities ❤.
Thanks Paul You guys are putting out some great content and are miles ahead of us when we were as new as you. You have e Evergreen piece down for sure. Non-Vegas Content - we made the conscious decision to post nonVegas stuff on this channel for our own mental health. The time may come where business trips to Las Vegas no longer seem worth it and at a certain point you have to do what works best for you and James. A friend of ours kept telling us to make a second channel for cruising but I (J) said I would burnout if I suddenly had to try to do two or even three high volume travel channels. It may have slowed our growth in subscribers but it helped us keep going through the rough parts and now we are so glad we did it. It also opened the door for us to do the trips we want to do not just trips to Las Vegas that could have gotten to be too much. We enjoy Las Vegas but also want to see the world and are so glad we have had success showing that. Burnout- take care of each other. If a video doesn’t feel right or it’s not the right time for a trip, don’t do it. Sadly there is no guarantees on RUclips. There are so many people out here trying to succeed that even if you work the hardest it might not take off. Take care of yourself and your relationship with James. Do it because you love it not to be famous or rich and it will all be fine in the end.
That was a great video! Thank you guys so much for your content I appreciate it even more now after watching this. We are working people in our 50s and just getting a chance to get out and see the world. I love your videos they most resemble what we can realistically do with our travel. You are a delight to follow and thanks again
Our pleasure! That is really what we hope to present for people. We get frustrated watching people who are "invited" to a place and get experiences beyond what we can expect so we try to bring that to our audience. Thank you for noticing
Awww...such a cute video! Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes with us and doing the Q&A. You answered questions sent by others that I was curious about as well. Sure hope I can be in Vegas sometime when you are there! Would love to meet you and buy you a drink. Or have a fun meal. 🤓
As always, thanks for sharing your travels with us and thanks for the Q & A! A lot of good insights and we learned we definitely share a lot of the same philosophies! Cheers to another 4 years of fun! We’ll say hello and buy you a celebratory drink should our paths cross one of these days!
Awesome video. We watched it all. For me I like your videos so much because I love traveling but also, you guys are so positive and uplifting. So glad to be along for the ride. You guys are wonderful. ❤
This was great! I have been following you from the beginning and still learned a lot! Love how positive you both are, it makes it so enjoyable to watch your vlogs! ❤
Videos are always entertaining without overly hyping things up which I appreciate. I’m in Seattle and the Tunnel run is a really good marathon up here if you haven’t done an event up here yet.
Hi Josh & Rachel from Australia. My wife and I have been watching your videos for a little while and really value your perspectives on your experiences. It helps us hugely for our travel planning. It's cool to hear you're both in healthcare, we are both in a similar position (ages, jobs, love of food [and coffee!], and of course, travel - so your videos really resonate with us. My wife and I are a bit too shy to start a youtube, but if you guys ever plan a trip to Aus, please shout out we'd love to repay the favour of sharing our experiences in our own backyard to make your vacation more enjoyable. We try to get overseas once a year with little weekend getaways throughout the year to make the most of our weekends. We think your videos are great. Keep up the great work. We will have a cold beer to cheers to you guys 🍻
Thanks so much for those kind words! Australia will absolutely be on the agenda one of these years. Figure it will be the biggest trip of whatever year it happens so at this point it’s not likely until at earliest 2026, but would love to hear any tips when it comes to planning
@JoshRachael for sure, it's a big trip (with big expenses!) We hope you get to visit one day soon. The exchange rate would help I imagine, we just returned from Hawaii - lovely place but the AUD-USD exchange rate hurt. We love Vegas and are planning to hopefully get back there this year, so we try to keep up with all of your Vegas videos.
Thanks for answering my question. I list so many of my food / drink favorites in Aria - and agree with Rachel, it's the best (Javier's margarita mmmm...) and I also love staying at the Wynn. Josh, try and keep up!
Great video guys! You made my day when you read out my question! Really love your honesty. My husband and I do things in a similar way. We splurge on travel but are careful day to day. We certainly plan ahead and have all of our holidays booked for 2025 and we’ve started on 2026. Like Rachel said it’s how you get the best deals. My favourite game is looking for holidays, researching and swooping in on the good deals. Keep doing what you’re doing guys, great stuff 😊
What a great Q&A! We watch you guys all the time and love the Vegas content. My wife and I have considered doing Vegas videos and your advice was incredibly helpful! Keep up the good work!
Now that was a great informative video! Believe that I found you guys during the shutdown in '20 via Yellow Productions & Bill & Lisa. Some of those other Vegas youtubers drive me batshit crazy! I still can't believe y'all did 24 hours in Vegas with NO hotel stay! MyVegas has comped me 2 Grand Canyon trips along with numerous night flights! Heading there next Wednesday for The Experience Hendrix Tour at the most wonderful Smith Center. Hope to see Jimi's sister Janie once again! Got in trouble for going to see Jimi Hendrix in 1968 in Dallas! Well worth it! Cheers! Gloria in far far West Texas
I totally agree with traveling now while you are young and healthy. We could not at your age because we raised children and I was the only income during that time. After my children were older or married and my wife worked, we began our adventures. Life will reveal your path. Thankfully, I retired early because I would have died while working. I had 6way bypass 2 years after retiring in Vegas🙏. We traveled for many years before and after our retirement on a budget. Enjoy your health and enjoy your life. Love you guys!
Thanks Jordan and Ashden, trust me you guys are one of the most important pieces we are talking about with building a support group of content creators
Thanks Josh and Rachel for including my question! Looking forward to your Sadelle's conservatory meal video if you guys decide to do one. We appreciate your dedication to your youtube channel! Thanks again and congratulations on 4 years!!🥳
Love your Vegas videos. I only stay at Wynn when in Vegas. It's the best. Also, your q&a videos are extremely watchable. I think it's because you two are so likeable.
I’ve been watching since the beginning. I LOVE your videos. Glad to know you are continuing Vegas videos. People love Vegas and it is constantly changing. I go at least once a year and I’ve gotten some great ideas for new places to try. I was also excited to hear about a safari. On my bucket list for sure and I don’t know if it will ever happen so can’t wait to go vicariously through you. I’m also a Royal Caribbean cruiser and wish one of my cruises would line up with yours. How cool would that be? My next scheduled cruise is on Star of the Seas. Keep up the great content and congratulations on 4 years!🎉
Oh we have been considering Star of the Seas….after its inaugural sailing though! That would be cool! We would love to say hello! Thanks so much for all of your continued support!
Hey guys listen I have been watching I think at least 2 years, I'm in my early 50's married 30 years, One big reason I think we all watch is you 2 are real!!!!! no glam your just honest & fun & go great place too!! This video was very informative keep going luv it!!!!!!
You guys are awesome!! Thank you so much for answering our question, now we all know how to clean up a pool after a yak 😂. But in all honesty, this video was super helpful and we really appreciate all the insight into what you do and why. Keep up the amazing work and as always, looking forward to your next adventure.✌🏼🫶🏼
As a Born and raised Floridian who has been to every state but 3, your answer to overhyped and under hyped was spot on. I avoid Miami like the plague and so enjoy Seattle every time we go.
Great video! I appreciate your honesty and willingness to encourage and help others. You both deserve all the success your channel has had! Hope to see it grow and grow. Can’t wait to see all the new adventures. 😊
Hey guys. Your channel and relationship are such a refreshing site to see and watch. Being an older person, it is beautiful to see a relationship so instinct towards each other... Keep up the great work... 😊
Thank you so much! It's funny you say that. We have this thing where we seem to think the same stuff at the same time and just send each other a 🧠emoji - saying get out of my brain haha
This was amazing!! So happy to see your travel history on here. We will meet one day hopefully. I just need to not work as much. Love your puppy's toooo!!!
I really enjoy watching you two. You really have a rhythm. I have a hard time watching some other couples, including one you mentioned, because they constantly talk over each other and correct each other. So thank you for not doing that. I love the places you go and would even pick the same food! Thank you for great content. If you ever get to Lexington KY, visit Malone's! A huge local favorite restaurant and we have bourbon trails all over. Thoroughbred horse farms, a castle and so much more.
Thank you for answering my question. I believed your answer would be just that one. My follow up question would be, after you both retire will Cheyenne area remain your home? We moved back to PA from Vegas because of family. Greenville, SC has gone through a Renaissance so to speak. I lived there in 1972. I loved the people and the scenery, but the dirt was red clay. It is a strong college town area. Many folks we have known as young adults in PA all moved and retired to Greenville in the last few years
Thanks Ted for the tips! When we retire we could see moving somewhere warmer but haven’t found that location yet. We have talked about USVI like St Thomas
This was such a great vlog. We discovered you right after your Navigator videos and we remember the Ensenada episode well. We laughed our asses off. Thanks for doing what you do and keep on going. 👍👍
After living in Vegas, we saw well over 50 dhows, participated in close to half the episodes of Penn & Teller Fool Us for 4 years, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 4 years, Ninja Warrior outside in the Sun only once 114 degrees. We saw so many natural locations surrounding the area as far around as Utah, CA, Arizona. The desert is beautiful. We went on a tour of a Gold Mine and more. Vegas was well worth the adventure, but the cost has skyrocketed and water is a huge issue with the population surge.
josh and rachael are correct on the expense difference in flying. Wife and i flew to Ireland from san Francisco to Dublin. Our seats in economy cost 450 per seat. Business class on the same trip was 5000 per seat. No joke.
Yea that is just crazy to think about spending that much when you can probably do a whole different trip for the cost of a seat. We splurge on food but not on airline seats for sure
I thought I would pass on this video but my wife wanted to watch it and Im glad I did. We have been watching since last summer. I watch a few Vegas shows, but you and Travel Ruby are the best. BTW I wish u would bring back the Intro, I understand why you stopped but I watch ones that have intros like Good Mythical Morning and I believe most youtubers wish they could pull in the views and followers they get.
Thanks Cory and thank you wife for encouraging you to watch 😉 Maybe for some videos we will look to include the intro but Tik Tok Brain has led to people not wanting to stick out 15 seconds currently, but might test it out
We are also going on a Celebrity Panama/ABC Island cruise. It is going to be great. It almost feels like two cruises with the itinerary. We are not Vegas people at all but have the same philosophy that now is the time to travel. Our kids are in their early 20’s and I want to get 50 states by 50 and get most of our bucket list travels done by the time we are 60-65. We have seen that our parents don’t travel and most of the people we know in that age range don’t travel either.
Great Q&A, you gave us a lot of insight into RUclips and your life. Love you both, can’t wait to see you again one day in Vegas, and make sure you hit me up when you come to Australia. I’ll show you around Melbourne 😃
Great video….my wife and I went to ‘e by jose andres and it was an experience I would recommend…very intimate and the chefs were super friendly and interactive with everyone.
Cruise loyalty has become portable in the last few years with a few cruise lines. Our Diamond Status will be honored on Celebrity, Virgin, MSC. I believe Celebrity Cruise suits your taste going forward. Unfortunately, the prices are sharply higher. Watching your videos over the years, I believe you are willing to spend if the value is there while keeping cost in mind. In our case we do not pay for a drink package because the 4 free drinks per day for Diamond Status is sufficient along with any additional purchased if needed. Royal has become repetitive after all these years. We have tried Celebrity, Princess, and Carnival brands as well. Every time I say cruising is now a fond memory, my wife begins planning another. 😂
Haha I can understand that. Diamond status seems to be the key point to get to with Royal and that’s why we decided to stick with them until we hit the mark. We are more open to checking other spots nowadays
Get a paid editor to package your vlog and promote it. You will off set the cost ten fold after the editor posts correctly and maintains the commercial placements and targeting. ❤
It would make sense if having an editor allowed us to make more videos but right now with our regular jobs we can’t do that so it’s just paying someone to do work that we can do so that we can do less at home
Aunt Josh and Rachel, maybe you can make a suggestion to your New Zealand Rd. tripping people. Have always wanted to visit the pioneer woman store in Petco Oklahoma, sorry not sure how to spell that town of Petco. Read Drummond has a show on the Food Network called the pioneer woman, and she also has several cookbooks. In Puska, she has historical Merk or Mercantile and now she also has a boarding house/small hotel. In the Merck they also have a bakery and restaurant and I’m sure the food is really great in there because it’s probably all the recipes that she uses as the pioneer woman. I’ve always wanted to visit that place but probably will never get to go there. Perhaps you guys can take a trip out to Oklahoma and experience the Merk. Trying to figure out how to spell Pata, perhaps it is PATUCKSA???
Really enjoyed this J&R. You both are amazing, fun people. I had no idea where you lived and that you were in healthcare. Makes sense with your gentle demeanors. I enjoy your videos so much. Yes, Miami IS overrated. I grew up there, left at 18, and only go back to catch cruises. I have to ask why Myrtle Beach? Greenville, Charleston are much better. Love Vegas, Vdara/Aria is my jam. Totally with you on Javier’s. Come to Phx! ❤🎉
Thanks so much! We got a decent offer from Hyatt vacations and had a moment of weakness for a 3 night stay! We will be visiting Myrtle Beach in May! Will definitely need to visit Phoenix together, Rachael has been a couple times!
@@JoshRachael Let me know, I’ll have some recommendations for you in Phx if you want. Also don’t judge all of SC by Myrtle Beach, but I’m sure you’ll have a good time.
Venetian has a Tier Match starting Oct 1st which may end up opening for current Grazie members. They currently have a Comp/Tier match promotion for new members. I think I am still recovering from the shock that 2019 Cheap Vegas is gone forever.
Travel suggestion: Walt Disney World! My husband and I go without our teenagers a couple times a year. We don’t even go to the parks every time! There are fantastic restaurants and fun bars and lounges to explore!
This was so interesting, thank you for sharing! I am dying to know which slot vlogger is the favorite, I watch those sometimes too and my husband makes fun of me. I probably deserve that! 😂 Cheers!
My husband and I watch you when he was really sick. He passed away July 19th and you guys really took his mind off his troubles. He always said they are doing the trips I would like to take you on. Just remember you affect other people and your content and personalities are amazing. You impressed him and that took alot.
Wow Debby, I don't think saying Thank you is enough. We are happy to be able to share our adventures with you and can't imagine the feelings you're having. Thank you so much 💕💕💕
@@JoshRachael you guys are amazing. You gave Terry an out in his last days relief. I can't express how much you made him feel
@@DebbyBosch You are seriously bringing tears to our eyes. This means so much to us, and we are so glad we could help him in any way
I’m so sorry for your loss Debby. Sending you and your family my thoughts and Prayers.
Love from Ireland ❤
Great Q&A, guys! Yes, one day when the stars align, we'll get together in person and have a meal. Like us, the big takeaway from being RUclips creators is the precious times you two share together making memories. Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks guys! RUclips is definitely a very unique hobby and it can be consuming but so worth it
Love y’all’s Q&A. Great insight to what’s involved to start up & run a RUclips channel.
I remember watching videos with double digits of subscribers, 4 years later over 33k. Congratulations and here's to 40k end of 2024!
That is awesome and brave that you stuck with us haha! Thanks so much!
Hey peeps ! Really appreciate you answering my question. I’ve been to 35 countries so still have a long way to go .My sisters a NICU nurse so it’s cool you both are in nursing . I think I’ve been with your channel for over 2 years now.It’s truly one of my favorites .

Thanks for taking us along on your travels! Can’t wait to see where you take us next!!❤❤
Thanks Lisa!
Great questions. I have always watched you guys for Vegas content mostly. Keep that work up. Safe travels and thanks for all the content.
Thank you! Will do!
I love watching these videos, the chill sit & chats, and of course all your adventures. Cheers guys, see you in Vegas again one day!
Awesome! Thank you! we love watching these kinds of videos also. such a good way to get to know creators
We’ve been watching for about 1.5 years and love your videos. Appreciate your content! Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Whooooooooooooaaa you need to move here to Vegas!!!❤alot of great restaurants here in Henderson NV!!!!
Gambling Addiction is the biggest fear to anything like that
I loved you before but knowing you are nurses is even more impressive. We are experts at time management and you certainly excel in that area. Love your love of life. Keep up the great work ❤
Thank you! 😊
We loved the Q&A. We just had our one year anniversary doing RUclips breakfast videos. But the number of restaurants are finite. So we are expanding to travel and fitness. Who knows what the future brings. We did it all for fun and adventure just like you guys. Great job.
That is awesome!
When you head to Savannah GA, swing by Tybee Island. It's right there and wonderful! Thanks for all the great content.
Rachael has been to Tybee and completely agrees!!
@@JoshRachael Next time in Savannah take a night ride in an open air herse seeing all the haunted places! Cheers! Gloria in far far West Texas
Great video! You guys inspire! I'll for sure keep watching. Be well and best of luck to you in the future! Cheers!
Thank you!
Love the channel! Love watching the 2 of you together. And dang it, you made me cry at the end! Here's to many more years!
Thanks Alice! Cheers!
Hi Josh and Rachael! Thanks for answering my question! 😊 Love your positivity about life and your channel. 🤗🎰💜
Thanks so much Amy and it was so nice to meet you!

You guys are putting out some great content and are miles ahead of us when we were as new as you. You have e Evergreen piece down for sure.
Non-Vegas Content - we made the conscious decision to post nonVegas stuff on this channel for our own mental health. The time may come where business trips to Las Vegas no longer seem worth it and at a certain point you have to do what works best for you and James. A friend of ours kept telling us to make a second channel for cruising but I (J) said I would burnout if I suddenly had to try to do two or even three high volume travel channels. It may have slowed our growth in subscribers but it helped us keep going through the rough parts and now we are so glad we did it. It also opened the door for us to do the trips we want to do not just trips to Las Vegas that could have gotten to be too much. We enjoy Las Vegas but also want to see the world and are so glad we have had success showing that.
Burnout- take care of each other. If a video doesn’t feel right or it’s not the right time for a trip, don’t do it. Sadly there is no guarantees on RUclips. There are so many people out here trying to succeed that even if you work the hardest it might not take off. Take care of yourself and your relationship with James.
Do it because you love it not to be famous or rich and it will all be fine in the end.
That was a great video! Thank you guys so much for your content I appreciate it even more now after watching this.

Loved this video and love watching you both. Thank you so much for all that you do. You guys are great.
Thank you so much!
I travel thru you 2!!
We are happy to do so
Thanks for answering my question. I list so many of my food / drink favorites in Aria - and agree with Rachel, it's the best (Javier's margarita mmmm...) and I also love staying at the Wynn. Josh, try and keep up!
Those margs are delicious 🥰
You guys are awesome. You have the best attitude too. Love watching your stuff. Cya in Vegas soon, hopefully!
Thanks so much!!
Great video guys! You made my day when you read out my question! Really love your honesty. My husband and I do things in a similar way. We splurge on travel but are careful day to day. We certainly plan ahead and have all of our holidays booked for 2025 and we’ve started on 2026. Like Rachel said it’s how you get the best deals. My favourite game is looking for holidays, researching and swooping in on the good deals. Keep doing what you’re doing guys, great stuff 😊
Rachael could definitely be a travel agent if she wanted to be, she is really good at finding deals for us all the time
What a great Q&A! We watch you guys all the time and love the Vegas content. My wife and I have considered doing Vegas videos and your advice was incredibly helpful! Keep up the good work!
Go for it!
Just started watching you guys this year! Enjoy following you! Keep going!
Awesome! Thank you!
Now that was a great informative video! Believe that I found you guys during the shutdown in '20 via Yellow Productions & Bill & Lisa. Some of those other Vegas youtubers drive me batshit crazy! I still can't believe y'all did 24 hours in Vegas with NO hotel stay! MyVegas has comped me 2 Grand Canyon trips along with numerous night flights! Heading there next Wednesday for The Experience Hendrix Tour at the most wonderful Smith Center. Hope to see Jimi's sister Janie once again! Got in trouble for going to see Jimi Hendrix in 1968 in Dallas! Well worth it! Cheers! Gloria in far far West Texas
Thanks so much! That should be really fun!
I totally agree with traveling now while you are young and healthy. We could not at your age because we raised children and I was the only income during that time. After my children were older or married and my wife worked, we began our adventures. Life will reveal your path. Thankfully, I retired early because I would have died while working. I had 6way bypass 2 years after retiring in Vegas🙏. We traveled for many years before and after our retirement on a budget. Enjoy your health and enjoy your life. Love you guys!
Thanks Ted!
Cool people right there…. We’re glad to have gotten to know you guys through the unlikeliest of means like RUclips. Cheers to many more years!
Thanks Jordan and Ashden, trust me you guys are one of the most important pieces we are talking about with building a support group of content creators
Loved hearing the answers to questions I also wondered about. Great show !
Thanks so much 🥰
I started watching just for your Vegas content and have really enjoyed the last cruise and treehouse videos. I’m glad I found you guys ❤
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome Aboard
Thanks Josh and Rachel for including my question! Looking forward to your Sadelle's conservatory meal video if you guys decide to do one. We appreciate your dedication to your youtube channel! Thanks again and congratulations on 4 years!!🥳
Appreciate you asking!! When we do it, there will definitely be a video!
@@JoshRachael That's awesome! I look forward to watching it! You guys have a wonderful evening!
Love your Vegas videos. I only stay at Wynn when in Vegas. It's the best. Also, your q&a videos are extremely watchable. I think it's because you two are so likeable.
Ah - thank you so much!
I’ve been watching since the beginning. I LOVE your videos. Glad to know you are continuing Vegas videos. People love Vegas and it is constantly changing. I go at least once a year and I’ve gotten some great ideas for new places to try. I was also excited to hear about a safari. On my bucket list for sure and I don’t know if it will ever happen so can’t wait to go vicariously through you. I’m also a Royal Caribbean cruiser and wish one of my cruises would line up with yours. How cool would that be? My next scheduled cruise is on Star of the Seas. Keep up the great content and congratulations on 4 years!🎉
Oh we have been considering Star of the Seas….after its inaugural sailing though!
That would be cool! We would love to say hello!
Thanks so much for all of your continued support!
Thank you for the Q&A, I really enjoyed this. I just recently subscribed and I always look forward to your vlogs.....
Thanks so much and welcome Mary
Lisa and I really enjoyed your Q&A. You guys are great. We found the leftover question particularly fascinating. Cheers!
Haha I was looking for footage of us eating our leftovers at Vdara that I sent you to put over that 🤣
I was so excited when y’all answered a question of mine🙌. Love your channel!
Yay! Thank you!
Hey guys listen I have been watching I think at least 2 years, I'm in my early 50's married 30 years, One big reason I think we all watch is you 2 are real!!!!! no glam your just honest & fun & go great place too!! This video was very informative keep going luv it!!!!!!
Thanks so much! We will do our best to stay that way!
@@JoshRachael You will!! great couple comes cross on camera.
I'm close to sunset station and green Valley casinos...I go to the strip all the time..love the resturants just ate at spago. ❤
The restaurants would be key for us
Wynn is fabulous! Fabulous. 🎉
Agreed!
You guys are awesome!! Thank you so much for answering our question, now we all know how to clean up a pool after a yak 😂.
But in all honesty, this video was super helpful and we really appreciate all the insight into what you do and why.
Keep up the amazing work and as always, looking forward to your next adventure.✌🏼🫶🏼
Ha ha!! Thanks so much 🥰
As a Born and raised Floridian who has been to every state but 3, your answer to overhyped and under hyped was spot on. I avoid Miami like the plague and so enjoy Seattle every time we go.
Heck yeah! 🙌
Great video! I appreciate your honesty and willingness to encourage and help others. You both deserve all the success your channel has had! Hope to see it grow and grow. Can’t wait to see all the new adventures. 😊
Thank you so much! We always say that people on RUclips shouldn’t treat others as competitors, we all get stronger together we think
You guys are fun to watch, I feel like I know you. Maybe I will see you in Vegas some time, we go 2x year. Congrats!
That would be cool!
Hey guys. Your channel and relationship are such a refreshing site to see and watch. Being an older person, it is beautiful to see a relationship so instinct towards each other... Keep up the great work... 😊
Thank you so much! It's funny you say that. We have this thing where we seem to think the same stuff at the same time and just send each other a 🧠emoji - saying get out of my brain haha
I love the restaurant reviews
Thank you! More to come for sure!
Thanks guys ! Just love what you guys do and I dare say you look Marvellous !!! Hurry up another beer meet up man lol !
Thanks Kyle!
Very enjoyable video. Loved the Q &A. You guys are a wonderful, fun couple.
Thank you so much!
Loved this. Thanx for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
you guys are awesome love your content! Admire your dedication and commitment to the channel it really does show! look forward to many more!🎉🎉👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much for the support!! 🥰
This was amazing!! So happy to see your travel history on here. We will meet one day hopefully. I just need to not work as much. Love your puppy's toooo!!!
I hope so too! Some day we will!
Cheers you two 🎉
Thank you
I really enjoy watching you two. You really have a rhythm. I have a hard time watching some other couples, including one you mentioned, because they constantly talk over each other and correct each other. So thank you for not doing that. I love the places you go and would even pick the same food! Thank you for great content. If you ever get to Lexington KY, visit Malone's! A huge local favorite restaurant and we have bourbon trails all over. Thoroughbred horse farms, a castle and so much more.
Thank you so much! Kentucky is one of the states we still need to hit so we will be researching it before too long
Thank you for answering my question. I believed your answer would be just that one. My follow up question would be, after you both retire will Cheyenne area remain your home? We moved back to PA from Vegas because of family.
Greenville, SC has gone through a Renaissance so to speak. I lived there in 1972. I loved the people and the scenery, but the dirt was red clay. It is a strong college town area. Many folks we have known as young adults in PA all moved and retired to Greenville in the last few years
Thanks Ted for the tips! When we retire we could see moving somewhere warmer but haven’t found that location yet. We have talked about USVI like St Thomas
This was such a great vlog. We discovered you right after your Navigator videos and we remember the Ensenada episode well. We laughed our asses off. Thanks for doing what you do and keep on going. 👍👍
Such a fun video! Thanks so much for watching 🥰
I love your videos and some of my restaurants trips in Vegas are based on your reviews. Please don't stop doing Vegas
Thanks so much Linda! Definitely not in the plans at this moment
Omg! Please tell be when you come to Myrtle!!! My hubs and I will meet up for a good meal!!
Greenville is about 4.5 hrs away from Myrtle…Savannah and Charleston are closer!
That is the hope next May
Thanks for including my question and taking time to answer in depth ❤ 41:47
Our pleasure! Almost didn’t realize it was you since it didn’t say Amber from Vancouver 🤣
After living in Vegas, we saw well over 50 dhows, participated in close to half the episodes of Penn & Teller Fool Us for 4 years, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire 4 years, Ninja Warrior outside in the Sun only once 114 degrees. We saw so many natural locations surrounding the area as far around as Utah, CA, Arizona. The desert is beautiful. We went on a tour of a Gold Mine and more. Vegas was well worth the adventure, but the cost has skyrocketed and water is a huge issue with the population surge.
For us there just has never been the appeal of moving there. Not sure why just not for us long term
josh and rachael are correct on the expense difference in flying. Wife and i flew to Ireland from san Francisco to Dublin. Our seats in economy cost 450 per seat. Business class on the same trip was 5000 per seat. No joke.
Yea that is just crazy to think about spending that much when you can probably do a whole different trip for the cost of a seat. We splurge on food but not on airline seats for sure
You will love Aruba. Wife and i were married on Aruba. Downtown Orenjstad looks like holland on a beach....
Awesome, can't wait for that cruise!
I thought I would pass on this video but my wife wanted to watch it and Im glad I did. We have been watching since last summer. I watch a few Vegas shows, but you and Travel Ruby are the best. BTW I wish u would bring back the Intro, I understand why you stopped but I watch ones that have intros like Good Mythical Morning and I believe most youtubers wish they could pull in the views and followers they get.
Thanks Cory and thank you wife for encouraging you to watch 😉
Maybe for some videos we will look to include the intro but Tik Tok Brain has led to people not wanting to stick out 15 seconds currently, but might test it out
Yes i cannot travel due to cancer and heart failure..but soak up all the videos i can!❤❤❤❤
🥰 thank you so much for your support 🥰
I love your videos wherever you are and look forward to more x Perhaps you could do the Vitality London 10K which you would love ❤
Great suggestion!
One more thing you have got to visit Poland in particular Krakow. Great food scene and so cheap in comparison to Vegas!
Sounds good to us
Great stuff! In SC Greenville is nice, but Charleston will blow your minds.
Definitely hoping to check out Charleston too!
We are also going on a Celebrity Panama/ABC Island cruise. It is going to be great. It almost feels like two cruises with the itinerary.
We are not Vegas people at all but have the same philosophy that now is the time to travel. Our kids are in their early 20’s and I want to get 50 states by 50 and get most of our bucket list travels done by the time we are 60-65. We have seen that our parents don’t travel and most of the people we know in that age range don’t travel either.
This is exactly us!
Great Q&A, you gave us a lot of insight into RUclips and your life.
Love you both, can’t wait to see you again one day in Vegas, and make sure you hit me up when you come to Australia. I’ll show you around Melbourne 😃
Thanks so much Rach! We will need to get some tips from ya when we finally book Australia, can’t wait
Awww. I like video intros! Yours is fun and sets the tone
Thanks so much! 🥰
So much fun doing life with you ❤
😘
Great video….my wife and I went to ‘e by jose andres and it was an experience I would recommend…very intimate and the chefs were super friendly and interactive with everyone.
Thanks for the tips! We will be putting it in the future trip plans!
Cruise loyalty has become portable in the last few years with a few cruise lines. Our Diamond Status will be honored on Celebrity, Virgin, MSC. I believe Celebrity Cruise suits your taste going forward. Unfortunately, the prices are sharply higher. Watching your videos over the years, I believe you are willing to spend if the value is there while keeping cost in mind. In our case we do not pay for a drink package because the 4 free drinks per day for Diamond Status is sufficient along with any additional purchased if needed. Royal has become repetitive after all these years. We have tried Celebrity, Princess, and Carnival brands as well. Every time I say cruising is now a fond memory, my wife begins planning another. 😂
Haha I can understand that. Diamond status seems to be the key point to get to with Royal and that’s why we decided to stick with them until we hit the mark. We are more open to checking other spots nowadays
Get a paid editor to package your vlog and promote it. You will off set the cost ten fold after the editor posts correctly and maintains the commercial placements and targeting. ❤
It would make sense if having an editor allowed us to make more videos but right now with our regular jobs we can’t do that so it’s just paying someone to do work that we can do so that we can do less at home
Highly recommend planning a key west trip!
key west sounds fun for sure
Aunt Josh and Rachel, maybe you can make a suggestion to your New Zealand Rd. tripping people. Have always wanted to visit the pioneer woman store in Petco Oklahoma, sorry not sure how to spell that town of Petco. Read Drummond has a show on the Food Network called the pioneer woman, and she also has several cookbooks. In Puska, she has historical Merk or Mercantile and now she also has a boarding house/small hotel. In the Merck they also have a bakery and restaurant and I’m sure the food is really great in there because it’s probably all the recipes that she uses as the pioneer woman. I’ve always wanted to visit that place but probably will never get to go there. Perhaps you guys can take a trip out to Oklahoma and experience the Merk. Trying to figure out how to spell Pata, perhaps it is PATUCKSA???
We’ve road tripped to Tulsa and Rach would love to visit the Pioneer Woman spot! Good idea!
You guys are awesome, keep doing what you're doing! Look forward to more videos in 2025
Thank you!
The tiramisu had us over caffeinated….. 🤣🤣🤘🤘
🤣 😂 🤣
Really enjoyed this J&R. You both are amazing, fun people. I had no idea where you lived and that you were in healthcare. Makes sense with your gentle demeanors. I enjoy your videos so much.
Yes, Miami IS overrated. I grew up there, left at 18, and only go back to catch cruises. I have to ask why Myrtle Beach? Greenville, Charleston are much better. Love Vegas, Vdara/Aria is my jam. Totally with you on Javier’s. Come to Phx! ❤🎉
Thanks so much! We got a decent offer from Hyatt vacations and had a moment of weakness for a 3 night stay! We will be visiting Myrtle Beach in May!
Will definitely need to visit Phoenix together, Rachael has been a couple times!
@@JoshRachael Let me know, I’ll have some recommendations for you in Phx if you want. Also don’t judge all of SC by Myrtle Beach, but I’m sure you’ll have a good time.
I love your Las Vegas videos
Thank you Valerie
Nothing beats the Macho Man video!! :)
Oh Yeah Brother!
The Guy Fieri comments are 100% accurate. Flavorless Town.
Sad but true
Venetian has a Tier Match starting Oct 1st which may end up opening for current Grazie members. They currently have a Comp/Tier match promotion for new members. I think I am still recovering from the shock that 2019 Cheap Vegas is gone forever.
We will have to check that out when we go in December! Hoping it’s still going!
You guys are awesome 🥰
Thank you!
Travel suggestion: Walt Disney World! My husband and I go without our teenagers a couple times a year. We don’t even go to the parks every time! There are fantastic restaurants and fun bars and lounges to explore!
I could see us doing that one of these days for sure. We both love amusement parks and have enjoyed Disney World prior
This was so interesting, thank you for sharing! I am dying to know which slot vlogger is the favorite, I watch those sometimes too and my husband makes fun of me. I probably deserve that! 😂 Cheers!
haha thanks so much - it is SDGuy - he is quite vulgar and out of control from time to time but there is a method to his madness.
I gamble all the time!!!! For fun...
