    Greetings from 7500' in Colorado. Just a quick note about altitude sickness cause 9000-11000 is pretty high. Get some Rolaids. There's magnesium and an enzyme that helps oxygenate your blood. Tums etc doesn't work the same. We've had friends visit us from sea level, get altitude sickness and recover in 15-30 minutes. Hope this helps.

    • @EN-fl6dv
      @EN-fl6dv 5 лет назад +5

      I've heard that one should drink plenty of water before and after changing altitudes. Was advised of this when visiting Colorado.

    • @amarigeorge
      @amarigeorge 5 лет назад +1

      Also you can get certain like bracelets that help with altitude and motion sickness.

    Oh my lord, I apologize in advance because you guys cracked me up!!
    I’m Peruvian born and raised but moved to the USA 21 years ago. We are planing on going to Peru at Christmas time, and somehow I ended up with your videos. Seeing you struggle with the A/C, bathroom issues ( bring your own TP?!) the noise issues, the altitude, the way Peruvians drive . The way you just leave your stuff in the car and leave!!
    I was screaming at my phone what are you doing? I’m so glad you guys weren’t robed! Lol
    All that drive you guys did it was just CRAZY! Lol
    You guys are great. Great adventure!
    Great trip I am enjoying it.

    Peru looks fabulous! How cool to travel around and make memories together. Those mountain landscapes make me so envious! Y'all seem so calm about the car blocking you from leaving. My kiddos would be losing their minds, which would make me follow suit (I am sure😜).

    6.45 YEAH EVE!! Very inspiring; I sometimes start to feel down about things others around me can do and I can't, but in those moments I should adopt Eve's attitude "Don't care, I'm still fabulous!" and focus on what I CAN do.
    And it cracked me up at the same time...

    Kudos for your trip! The rock slides are a bit disconcerting so I am glad you didn't have rain as that is a bit more tenuous as the hillsides give away under those conditions if it gets too bad.....living in the mountains we see it all the time, but it is still an uneasy feeling. Glad all are safe and I am happy you are having some down time. Enjoy and God bless your travels!

Here is an idea for a place which has much much less driving and crazy roads that I think your family would enjoy for your next adventure, Israel, its sooooo beautiful and full of stuff your family would enjoy lots of diffrent things to do but no crazy traveling between diffrent places. Keep having fun

In this video , in the part where the children where playing outdoors I felt like they should have been signing the Hills are alive from the Sound of Music movie lol and Mike you are a Hero, my husband would not have been as patient as you driving those roads. 😅

Glad you're taking a day off tomorrow... you both look like you need a quiet restful day. Bouquets of roses and boxes of chocolates to the kids. They seem to be taking it all in stride, and very well behaved in restaurants. Kudos to awesome parenting. Did Megan bring along an extra toothbrush or two for that just in case one gets left behind?.. Ha. Thanks for another great video... and enjoy some R&R tomorrow. 💟

    When I was a kiddo in the 50s we went on a few long road trips. My mom did the driving (dad was handicapped ) dad always had the map out on his lap navigating. I had my own map in the back seat and that's how I learned. Can you imagine? No cell, no GPS? One time we got stuck and my mom hitchhiked into town to get help. Gulp!

I’m so excited to see your vacation video uploads i literally,NO JOKE, had a dream that i was with you on your vacation... like, that’s how much invested i am with your adventure... just to share, i dreamed i was with you guys in that airbnb where you showed that indoor-outdoor area where you can open the sliding glass doors all the way...but for some reason, it was raining and the outside was, well, it was near the ocean (where of course, you guys are so far away from right now)... and as i said, it was raining and it was raining fishes... like aquarium fishes...saw some up close in my dream...like there was a black and yellow angel fish, some silver and orange ones, some silver and blue and blue and yellows.... and then i woke up... the breeze from the rain was good to feel on the face though... so yeah.... I’m guess I’m with you guys on your vacation in imagination and dreams... always keep safe and take care you guys... remember to always HYDRATE... God bless!!

    Thanks for sharing. Never been interested in Peru but you make me. :)
    Also your road montage made me remember my husband's and mine car rental day on an island in Croatia in our honeymoon. Makes me excited to go road tripping and travelling with my future kids when they are a bit older. Have a 15 month old and another one expected in late July.
    I think if you go to my end of the world, Scandinavia, that you would enjoy Norway road tripping. That's a dream I have at least. Check out Lofoten. And Swedish Lapporten. A different type of mountains for sure, but breathtaking to hike in.
    Can't wait to see the next upload!

      Oh and about the lovely lunch! I found on my travels (and I think you must already know, really) that the best, most hygienic and cheapest foods always are places like the one you were in. At least in countries like Peru, India, Thailand. Places where locals go, or that are aren't catered towards only tourists passing by.
      My best plate was a buffet style all you can eat 'thali' in an local place off the tourist main road in center of New Delhi. Only gori (white) person there. 30 rupees. This was 2007. Equaled to 30 cents I think. 100 rupees was almost 1 dollar that year. So. Yeah. :)
      Also, a small styrofoam cup of delicious chai off the street vendors was 5 rupees.
      Never felt so rich. Gives you perspective. Kudos for giving that to your kids and yourselves.

    In the last video I told you some of the history of the way you took.
    Now enjoy Cusco, the valley, Machu Picchu and it’s energy.
    Be aware of the roads, it’s rainy season and always there are landslides. Be careful and good luck. Blessings
