You have great enthusiasm and an apprreciation for life. Since so many watch your videos as inspiration and guidance, we would feel remiss if we didn't pass along our concern with your example of being ok traveling in a bed in the back. Like you, we have become fatigued and done so but we experienced a situation which could have had a tragic ending and now always stop to rest or move about no matter how many miles we hope to travel. Most states also have law re: wearing a seatbelt in back in addition to those in the front. This is not meant as a criticism but to help build awareness the importance of consistency with that safety practice since so many people watch your videos and look up to you. Although the video is old, possibly consider editing that small section out.Thanks for listening and we wish you safe travels!
Crossing Texas is like taking Florida from the keys to Jacksonville! it’s endless!
God Bless Texas!!
We're happy y'all came to see us.
So happy with everything you two vlog! My husband and I were married in Hawaii in 1999. I can't wait to see your experience especially on a cruise. Have a blessed journey!!
We are loving Hawaii so far!!
The first stop has to be BUC-EES! Then you have lunch AND snacks for the rest of the trip 🍿
That Rest stop near ElPaso was the place I got the best photos of my kids. Thanks for sharing, brings back some really great memories.
We use to live in Alexandria, LA back in the early 2000's. We lived on Post Oak behind Super 1 Foods. I used
to work at Cabrini.
So glad Ethan is home safe. God bless our USMC.
I LOVED this video. OMG of all your videos, this was one of my favorites. Its always been a dream of mine to drive across country. I loved all your short vlogs along the way about the scenery, the pavement, the temperature, the gas prices, the food, etc. The tired look on your faces at the Mexican restaurant after day 1 said it all. Loved every minute of this video.
Well, this was entertaining!! Thanks for the ride!
Hey you guys… I am born from Alexandria and now live 17 miles south of our rather change city and then y’all come busting out of Alexandria… and it gave me hope for our city. I have been watching your cruising adventures as I will go on my first real cruise to Mediterranean… however, y’all are very entertaining couple. Y’all do have energy and do keep things clean and fun. Glad y’all got the van and back on the road… so keep sending out your adventures and we will be watching.
Wow, you two have more energy than I don’t know what. Just off a cruise and now on the road again.
I just can’t get enough of your videos! Y’all do a fantastic job and you along with Parodeejay are my favorites!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Awe thank you 😊
I moved from Baton Rouge to Los Angeles. The best move I have ever made in my life!!
Well, I relocated from the Rotten Big Apple that is NYC to the Free Sunshine State that is Florida! That was the best move I ever made in my entire life!! Good luck in LA!
I live in San Antonio and I love that it doesn't get dark until after 8:30. Bucees chopped brisket sandwiches are delicious! Safe Travels the rest of the way.
So glad you decided to visit my home county of San Diego (I live about ten miles south of Oceanside in Encinitas, California)
Such a beautiful documentary of your trip. Well done. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you so much for sharing. You don't know how much it makes a shut in like me a reason to keep living. I so miss my deceased husband and best friend we did everything together. We dreamed of doing this together. I still do.
😢
Lol I drive our 21ft motorhome about 95% of the time, my husband loves taking in all the scenery. Don’t worry about driving a little slower on the turns and cliff area. We downsized a few years ago from a travel trailer and truck, love driving my motorhome.
I drove from New Orleans to Dallas last weekend, and also pulled into that same Buc-ee's, almost out of gas. LOL
Glad to see y'all are enjoying your new van. Can't wait to see your Hawaii vlogs.
I just you’re new van. Y’all are going to have so much fun. And thank you for sharing this with me. My husband and I love Buckys.
Wow what an awesome adventure you had. Have fun in Hawaii. We went to Hawaii 4 years ago for our 35th wedding anniversary. Enjoy the beauty.
I really like the practical side of your new small but efficient van.
I noticed you had a stop at a Quik Trip. If you've never tried them, their ready-to-eat breakfast sandwiches and chopped brisket tacos and sandwiches are really good!
Also, your van just looks classy as can be. Kinda like the infant offspring of one of those million-dollar class A's!
On your way back home you should stop off in Shreveport and let me check that van out, me and the wife have been thinking about buying one. Enjoy your trip, and office away from home!!
We are getting 14.6 in the Gem but we use the eco boost and the cruise control
Works like a charm …..
Glad you’re at least getting 15 miles to the gallon with the Wind 💕
Enjoy family-
Adventures-
Thanks for taking us along on your trip
Love your trip and experience. So glad you are enjoying my state of residence. I live in the desert, Palm Springs area. Yes, our gas today is $5.85 at Sam's and Costco.
Just got back from a trip to Utah and the entire time I was there my nose was dried up. The minute I landed back in Florida it went away lol. Had a great time visiting Zion, Arches, Bryce, etc but my nose was glad to get home.
BUC-EE'S 👍🥰😋 #VANLIFE Thanks for sharing your adventures 😎
It’s fun to hear your commentary on the desert. I recognise all your AZ and CA scenes
Boy do I know that drive! We take longer than 48 hours though.
Saw you at a hotel in San Diego last month! Wanted to say hi and thanks for your videos but I didn’t want to disturb y’all.
Y'all are living the dream and I love your van and my husband and I are looking at one too
I believe in Arizona you are alowed to ride in back of camper and drive at same time.
Years ago I drive my Honda Goldwing motorcycle non-stop from, Minnesota up Arizona stoping only for gas and to pee.
I slept for two whole days upon my arrival home. Actually a thrilling ride. 🤠
I started watching you guys because of your cruise content. Now you are doing vanlife content too!! You have the perfect channel for someone like me, I also do cruise content and van life content on my channel lol. Not too many of us on here that combine the two
Buc-ees is the best!👍🏻You should have gotten their homemade potato chips too. They are right next to the brisket section. Sooo good!
Not good to empty the tank. Not good for the fuel pump or sucking up the sludge from the bottom of your tank. Good luck. Fun watching you guys!
Oh wow! Have fun in Hawaii !!! My oldest son was born in Hawaii. Have fun! Can't wait for your next video.
🌴 🏖🌊
Love the van.
We live in northern AZ, and have relatives in Yuma.
Seal Beach is beautiful. We stayed there the night before our last Carnival Cruise.
Awesome Video!
Hope y’all have a fabulous trip! Can’t wait to see the Hawaii videos … especially the beautiful lei’s when you arrive, bet they are gorgeous 🌺 🤙🏼
greetings from venezuela...i loved every minute of your trip,, i know california, and always impressed me ,the huge distances you have to drive inside the u.s. ,from point to point.but, with your new travato ,,is a piece of cake .
This was cool - really enjoyed "taking" the trip with you!
It was funny when you were buttoning up the van, the squeaky shoes sounded like Pac Man as you closed each window blind. Gas here in Canada gas is running at $2.11 CAD/L which is about $7.98 CAD/US Gallon ($6.36 USD/ US Gallon).
Love following y’all ! I’m in Buc ees every week in the Houston area, I was in there today! Gas, cookies & drink today.
We did Ga to Brownsville, Tx hauling our 38 ft wide body 5th wheel..was a real adventure. Our butts were numb for 2 days! Safe travels.
Girl, I'm with you on the fudge!!!! And the brisket!!!!!
Love, love LOVE the van!!! I’ve watched quite a few van travelers this without a shadow of a doubt is my favorite van! Now I want one!!! LOL!!! That will never happen, but congratulations to both of you. Enjoyed the vlog. New subscriber here. Looking forward to the Hawaii trip!!
My son's 1st stuffed Elephant was named Ellie. We lost her. I got a new stuffed Elephant. We named her Ellie B. Instead of(1,2,3) We are doing (A,B,C). If you like the idea you can call your van Ellie B.
the good old rocky mountains
I didn’t know your home base was out of Alexandria. Have family there, Tioga, and Dry Prong. Have a safe trip. I’ll keep watching.
I live in Monterey, CA no desert here. Glad you guys had a good trip.
Thanks for sharing the trip...Are we going to get a NEW VAN tour sometime? OR did I miss it somewhere? Safe and happy travels 🥰 p.s. I live in Texass 😂 for now anyway. And yeah it stays light till 9:00 Houston area. California weather is definitely the best. I wouldn't think Alyssa would like it because there's NO humidity.
Welcome to Oceanside!!! Love your video! Omg that In n Out is right down the street from me😁
Love you guys it's Sally Wong from the Philippines and I love your Vid, I watch your 1st vid n OMG ! I'm Hoocked! And This is my 1st day watchin you guys 😘🥰😍 Take care always ❤
Hi guys LOVED YOUR VIDEO! and I enjoyed taking the trip with you from my recliner chair! The new van shouldnt be Ellie2. it should be. GREASED LIGHTENING!!!!!!!OMG Jason you sure can Drive! ( like Jeff Gordon!!!!)
Safe travels and you guy's are coming to my hometown of oceanside, California.
Buc-ee’s brisket sandwich is amazing. So is the club. We had to travel from St Louis to Atlanta & back on Christmas Day. Buc-ees was the only place on the road for “real” food. Yay Buc-ees!!! I hope y’all have a great trip!!
Hey when I was a kid I played in the back window of the station wagon
What a nice trip. Very nice van, I was surprised no RV. I want to go to Buc-ees so bad lol. Have a great family vacation. Thanks and take care.
Some suggestions when you head back...before dropping into the desert when you leave San Diego is a unique place called Desert View Tower in Imperial County. In New Mexico, take a detour out of Las Cruces, north on the 25 to T or C and check out the Riverbend Hot Springs. You can spend the night there in the van as well. As for food in El Paso, check out L & J Cafe. Enjoy Hawaii and Happy Anniversary!
Ahh, thanks for this!
If you are ever back in El Paso, you should have dinner at Cattleman's Steakhouse at Indian Cliff's Ranch. It is a working cattle ranch. Go at sunset and it is gorgeous! They have all kinds of animals you can see.
Missed everything! I didn't even watch because it would take me a week. Carlsbad and the bat show. Mesa Verde, and 4 corners. Painted desert, petrified forest. Grand Canyon and so so much more. You have a travel van what is the rush.
Love the shopping at bucees!
Road warriors! You made good time. Have fun in Hawaii.🌺
I love your van. You made the trip very interesting considering how boring it really is , lol. It’s so obvious how well suited you are for each other. Onward to Hawaii! See you there!
Really enjoyed this video, can’t wait for Hawaii!✈️⛱🏖
As I put it: California is a desert with a green spot in the middle and crown of forest at the top. It's a concise and truthful description. LOL
Y’all are living my dream life.
I am looking into working at a travel agency.
Love the videos!
Don’t forget to stop over and visit Temecula - there is some pretty friendly wineries to vlog from. Let us know.. travel safe!
I really enjoyed this! I enjoy everything yall vlog! Can't wait to see more trips in the van! And I really can't wait to see Hawaii vlogs!
Oh. Enjoy the videos. Ssy. Ya.ll. have you thought of a step vsn and the price new and preowned. Just curious tho. What is your opinion. Also compare both your van to a step van. Im thinking about safety in bad weather like hail storms. Im closer to a choice of a step van. It would be a home on wheels for a very long time like permantly in all 4 seasons. Have to live in town. Cant afford to travel. Low income to. Ive lived in apts for 47 yrs. My husband 30 yrs. In apts. We are very very tired of them. This is the only home we will ever have. We both have no computer or experience. Our jobs didnt require it. We both are 75 yrs.old. thank you. We are new to your channel. Be watching the videos coming up.
Hello Alisa and Jason. Love the video. Jason, what that your parents at the end? I'm assuming it is. I've seen them in your other videos.
I had two uncles that had vans! I would love to have one!! To work and travel!!
You guys should come up the coast alittle to Orange County!!! Laguna beach is beautiful! Newport Beach is amazing and Huntington Beach is awesome to!! Great blog videos! Beautiful beaches awesome food!
OMG did that sandwich look AMAZING
Hope you are having a great time in Hawaii! Can't wait to see the vids! 🌞🌴
I was in Ft. Worth last week in my Solis Pocket and it was 106 deg! 💥
Oh wow! We came up North to Michigan and it’s a lovely 70 degrees. Our family is jealous.
Oh my gosh, y'all were 10 miles from my house when you stopped at the Buc-ees in Terrell! Are you going to be going home the same way? I can't wait to hear about Hawaii, it's on our bucket list.
Whenever you pass through El Paso again, you have to check out Cattleman’s Steakhouse in Fabens, right outside of EP. Best restaurant in the nation, in my opinion.
Have a wonderful time in Hawaii. I’m sure you’ll love it I got married in Kauai all I can say it’s just so beautiful. Love your road trips.
Looking forward to your videos from Hawaii. Have a great and safe time.
Welcome back to Oside and our wonderful gas prices! 😂 LA is even higher. Enjoy Hawaii! Can’t wait to see your trip! Enjoy.
I love Buc-ees! Banana pudding and chicken salad good too!
Y’all make RVing look like fun!😆
Outstanding video ❤️you guys are awesome first time viewers❤️❤️❤️🎉
So fascinating to see the California desert.
You guys are so inspiring! We're ready for a road trip now ☺️
This was such a great video as I am new to your channel. I love California weather I love the views I just love California. It was so great to go on this trip with you all. Thank you very much for your beautiful energy ❤️
I guess I blew my chance at Bucees yesterday. I did stop at Loves, which is no Bucees, but is pretty good, good assortment of roller items and good coffee.
Loves is great too definitely our second favorite convenient stop! It’s no buc-ees though 😜
@@EECCTravels Loves is a babystep between regular gas station and the overstimulating Bucees experience...
I don’t live far from Terrell tx I live about 45 minutes away from there
what kind of MPG are you getting now vs the RV and also will you do a video on what you do not like about the Winnebago and what you really like?
That is a long ways! We usually every winter drive down from Massachusetts to port Canaveral its a long ways also. 19 hours and 49 min it is long We do stop for the night in the middle somewhere. Your trip is even longer But for us that is the fun of it 🙂 Great adventure!
you guys are so positive, i love you
really good video. So real and seems like so much fun
Great, now I'm cravin' a brisket sammich!
We live near Alexandria La! Just found ya’ll channel !
Omg. You were at my bucees! Wish I would have been there and met you guys. Enjoy your trip. Hubby and I and getting ready for our anniversary cruise June 30th.
Fun, Fun, Fun! Enjoy❣️😎
And if you’re like one or 1/2 gallons or 2 gallons from having a full tank then whatever they give you for mileage cut that in half so with that van say you get 20 miles to the gallon and you have a 20 gallon tank and it only took 18 gallons to fill it up but Jason you’re very smart so you know all that stuff
