    I’ve recently started watching you guys and I started from the beginning. I truly enjoy watching y’all! But this episode really drove the truth about growing up and adulting! Making the point to work on relationships and knowing your circle! Not a lot of people hit on that in this RUclips and social media world!!! Great job y’all!!!

    Great message in this one guys! Happy holidays everyone! Even though we just recently moved into our van, we have been travel for a while, it does take an intentional effort to keep relationships going and it's nice that you touched on that. It is kinda' on the "Leaver" to keep it going to a certain point. All the best in the New Year!

Happy and safe travels the rest of the way; maybe you’ll offer up a day 2 or arrival vid. Otherwise, see ya’ll on the flip side of the holidays as this mortar and bricker also has relationships to maintain always & especially during the holiday season. My daughter is 1200 miles away! 🎄🎄🎄

    the knack of sleeping on a bed whilst someone else is driving is getting the driver to drive at the right speed..... by that i mean there is a speed (usually slower than the driver wants to drive) that harmonises and resonates with your body - bringing about a prolonged sleep!!

    Trent & Alli, Merry Christmas to you both. For myself, Christmas was more traditions than anything else. We
    always went to Nana Keenan's house Christmas Eve; went to Midnight Mass to listen to chorus and sing hymns;
    back to her house for Scalloped Oysters and Shrimp and Baked Clams. There were always 25-35 family,neighbors,friends. The counters had all kinds of foods and deserts, nuts etc. Christmas Day, we went to
    visit Uncles and Aunts homes with homemade gifts of cakes, pies, breads. My dad was a doctor and every
    November he would ask his patients to donate new items like,thru his office ,gloves, hats, boots, sweaters
    and coats and jackets. He taught me how to wrap gifts, not always the right way, but the love would be
    seen. Traditions, that is very important to me. As an adult, I am a member of a group "FAMILY"...
    It is an anagram meaning...ForAlwaysMakeItLikeYours= FAMILY. The purpose is to share what you can with
    a Total Stranger...Let me tell you, the looks and smiles you see come across strangers faces, makes you feel
    so alive and you walk around with a smile on your face and in your heart...ex: Starbucks>>>>Buy a coffee for
    the third person that is in line behind you...😊 ex: Grocery Shopping: Buy a Chicken, Have the person wrap it up
    and have the register person give it to the fifth person ...😃....I worked at the Maine Medical Center and would
    do this for some of the homeless folks in the cafeteria...😜
    You both probably can think of a few other ideas where "FAMILY" concept can be used...the best part is
    the reactions...Christmas is a time for giving...as always, Hugs from KENNEBUNK Maine.

    Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁🎄totally understand the need for junk food when dealing with a LONG HAUL but Don't forget pure protein...eggs, tuna, they will keep you awake, while sugar will make you drowsy! As for the holidays & this family thing, remember, not all people have great family relationships & it's rather a cliche. England has opened cafes for single people. It's ok to be alone. I prefer to spend New Years Eve alone, in places w/crowds, as I hash over the past year & the new one encroaching. Just saying, there are ALL kinds of relationships & situations! 😁🎄🎁🎄

  • @CCIEPaul
    @CCIEPaul 5 лет назад

    It goes without saying sleeping in the bed while someone is driving is not safe. What do you think of hanging a hammock? In case of accident the hammock will swing holding the passenger in place. Plus they are surprisingly comfortable. Backpacking with a hammock instead of a tent is amazing.

    • @StacyForest738
      @StacyForest738 5 лет назад

      That is a cool idea and I think you are right, if you turn the hammock side to side, it would just swing forward if there were a sudden stop, sort of cradling you in the hammock.

      Dave B, when you sleep in a moving vehicle, as a passenger not as the driver, magic happens. A magic force field forms around you. It will keep you from ever being hurt if there's a motor vehicle accident. And that is why all of us who are raised before the 1990s and seatbelts, made it through car trips also ve.

    Riding in the back, without a harness, has decapitation written all over it. Hard to believe that people actually do this, and not think through the deadly possibilities. Even if you survived the crash, you will probably wish that you hadn't. #betteroffdead
