    Nomi I think California looks good on you! Look at that smile! I want to thank you for giving me the courage to travel alone and take my first solo beach trip. It was so liberating and relaxing. Can't wait to do it again. You're more of an inspiration to others than you know. Enjoy California and stay safe! Peace! 🙂

    Always a good idea to wipe the tops of drink cans..you don't know what varmint etc was walking across the cases in the plant & warehouse.

      THANK YOU!!!
      Wanted to post on that too!!!
      Yes I was in a tight cringe when she
      opened that can drink😱
      I always try to have wipes, extra napkins in vehicle and purse for just such occasions.
      A bottle of water to stay in cup holder would be good too (rinse over the top of can)
      Good looking out ladies😇
      Keep straws for that too.
      The news even focused a report on that few years back.
      Are you reading this young lady

    you can put some dawn and water and vinegar in a spray bottle & use that to spray the dirty dishes, then use another spray bottle with water to rinse them to save on water. just a thought. maybe use a paper towel to wash them with.

    Hi Nomi. Watching your California Ep. 132 brought back beautiful memories of my scenic drive and visit to San Fran in October 2012. You are seeing and showing your subscribers the best of our nation. Priceless. Stay safe and wrapped up in love!

    If you're going up through Oregon on the 101 when you get north of Tillamook (recommend the cheese factory tour, ice cream, and the beef jerkey store), the whole drive is scenic and beautiful. Don't forget about the sea lion caves, devils punchbowl, Astoria Column (our current duty station), and Cape Dissapointment Lighthouse. You may even see the Coast Guard doing training while over there. I have a bunch more recommendations along the Oregon Coast if you'd like them!

    You should always wipe the top of your drinks before you drink from them, because you do not know how many people have picked up that drink and hand was on or near the mouth of that can or bottle.

    Nomi, if you can drive on that overlook, you can drive on 101 up- it will be fine! You will be on right side of road up against hills etc… no need to drive close to cliff side! You will be heading North! Pacific ocean will be on your left across the road….two lane highway!

    Hi Nomi! It's not the state that you're in, it's the weather where you're located. You're in Northern California and it is cooler. Down here in Southern California, it's in the 90's. You probably wouldn't have had the same results.

    Come about 2 hours south of San Francisco to the Monterey area and I’m positive you’ll love it. It’s my hometown. Nature, ocean, beaches, mountains and beauty is everywhere. Big Sur is about another 20 mins south of Monterey is a huge scenic drive! Carmel about 10 mins away. I’d even give you a tour if you were up to it. Safe traveling! 🤙🏽

    If you are still in the San Francisco area, I highly recommended a guided bus tour of San Francisco. I almost always take one of those when I'm in S.F. They are very informative, with lots of history and will also take you through Chinatown, which I love, as well as other parts of S.F. Probably worth parking your van in a safe, paid parking lot near downtown and catching one of those tour buses. I believe they leave from Union Square. It's the best overview of S.F.

You'll find Italuan, Irish, Russian, India food, Middle Eastern, Mel's Diner. Throughout the city You'll find all kinds of places to eat. Oh yeah, seafood restaurants. In Fisherman's Wharf. And if you drive along the coast to Half-moon Bay..go to Barbara's Fish Trap. Yum, the best fish n chips. Gosh, I wish I could hang out with you. Like I said have fun be safe.❤😊

    Question for you Nomie: Have you ever tried geo-caching? I just recently started and I enjoy it so much, and I wish that I was a traveler like you so that I could find goodies outside of my proximity. There are videos about it all over youtube. I've watched so many of your videos and I thought of you, that you might enjoy something like this on your travels. It helps take you to places that you might not see otherwise while having a mission to find something elusive. There's an app. It's free, but you can go premium but it's not necessary. It's simply called Geocaching and it's a green square with white emblems.

    • @tobylarzen3611

      I started geocaching (also known as letterboxing back then) when I was stationed in Japan in 1983. Trying to get the challenge badge of 1 geocache from every state. I agree, I think she'd have a blast with this treasure hunt and being stealthy too!
