    I thought it was lychee fruit but they’re both tropical Asian fruits. Dawn, I love to see the enjoyment you get from bicycling and seeing the beaches! It’s all about nature and enjoying the simple things in life! Will I also enjoy when you share with us your historic places that you visit. Such a beautiful island 🏝️

    What a great trip and the bike ride. As a horse lover and owner, the smell of horses is "wonderful" and even the road apples are not offensive to horse people.

    The rambutan looked interesting. I’ve never seen one but heard they are high in vitamin c. Old fashioned bikes. Lol Everyone spoiled to e-bikes. Looked like a fun ride. No poisonous snakes? Yay. My daughter was close to being bit by a copperhead a few days ago. Scared her to death. Unfortunately where she is going to live soon has lots of them.
    Really enjoyed your adventure. Thanks for sharing. God Bless from Diane in Oklahoma!❤

    I just read that your not supposed to eat the seed of that fruit. Who would have known. They should have taken the seed out. I wouldn’t have known either Will. I loved this video. It’s such a relaxing place. It would be nice to spend 3 or 4 days there if one could afford it. Thanks for sharing this video! Praying you and Dawn have safe travels.

      It's recommended you don't eat them, but eating one or two raw seeds probably will not affect your health.
      It's also recommended not to eat more than two servings of Fish a week for the same reason, really. The toxins/chemicals can cause harm the more it accumulates inside your body.
      Plenty of things we put into our bodies have dangerous chemicals/toxins/whatever you want to say but are allowed at low levels/in moderation.

    What a fun time. Step back in time. So funny to see you “ Michiganders “ ( I am too I grew up there long long time again) see you eat Rambutan fruit. It is strange and the seed on the the inside. We grow lychee in the higher elevation here in hawaii. And are at the end of the season. My kids love it. My girl friend always made the best Lychee martini. Thanks for the video

    The best part of your vids are Dawn's face when she eats and when her eyes pop out, and she can't make up her mind if she likes the food. She is SUPER ADORABLE and makes the vids so much fun.
    Thank you so much for sharing your fun adventures, this hotel and Mackinaw Island looks gorgeous. Soooooooooooooooooo super elegant and classy.
    Have a fun day
