We kicked off our European vacation in Croatia with four days and three nights in Dubrovnik. We spent our days walking the city walls, exploring old town, and checking out filming locations from Game of Thrones. Dubrovnik is a beautiful medieval walled city with so much history. Croatia weather is hot and humid, so be prepared for that if you travel there during the summer. #dubrovnik #croatia ...
How I’m Packing For Three Weeks in Europe (When I ALWAYS Overpack)
Переглядів 3894 місяці тому
See what happens when a chronic over packer tries packing for a long European vacation. I’m traveling to three countries (and two climates) over the Summer. I've never had to pack for a trip this long. I'm going to try to be as minimal as possible, but packing for Vacation is never easy for me. #packing #europeantravel #travel

South Beach Miami (RAINED OUT) in December + Miami Heat Basketball Game

We traveled to South Beach in December and all we got was rain. We did get to see a Miami Heat basketball game at the Kaseya Center and hang out at the Courtside Club. We stayed at Kimpton Angler's Hotel in South Beach just off Ocean Drive and the Intercontinental Hotel Downtown Miami. Great hotels. I'd recommend both. #miami #southbeach #miamiheat #travelvlog www.kaseyacenter.com/ www.anglersh...

Boring IS beautiful! Lovely video (as always!)
Thank you. 😊 Like they say no news is good news. No complaints. Happy New Year!
Wow, I love this snippet of your life in motion. How do you remember to record every day.
Thank you! My first year doing it I did forget a handful of times, but it really just became a habit after a while. I only forgot like twice in 2024 and then I had to do a clip the next day of something that was a true representation of the day before.
This was by far the best review/vlog on Virgin Voyages! You provided a typical day onboard and shared information about your excursion and wandering. Your video has assisted me in making a determination that I will go on a virgin cruise this year. Thanks again. Happy New Year!
Wow! Thanks so much. This video has helped so many people and I’m absolutely thrilled about it. Yay! Another virgin cruiser onboard. Happy New year to you too! And happy cruising.
This Isnt mauna loa.
I’m getting my first delivery tomorrow, I can’t wait! I’m hearing a lot of complaining about the price, but I waste so much food, am not organized, and not a good cook. To me, this is worth it!
As a non cook I totally get it. When that box shows up I don’t even have to think about planning and meal prep. It’s either your time or your money. Everyone has to decide which to prioritize. Hope you like it!
Thanks for sharing. Love how you go with the flow and make the most of everything 😊
Sometimes it’s harder than other times but I try!
I hope you’ve been to Bar Bill in East Aurora because it has the best chicken wings in the world!
Yes we have!!! I’m a weird one and don’t eat wings, but my husband loved them!!!
I was at the Steelers Game with you in 2021. It was the opener and they lost and I wasn’t far from you. I was in the 300s level just to your left haha.
GO BILLS!!!
They are doing SO GOOD this season. It’s awesome.
@ yes they are. Unfortunately as a BILLS fan we know all to what’s about to happen in the coming weeks. But you never know..GO BILLS!!
I plan on doing this cruise for my birthday. Thank you for this detailed video
What a great way to spend your birthday! Enjoy. And thank you for watching.
@@mahoganydrive just booked I’m so excited
"Time to eat again..." y'all are cute. Stop. 😂
Sometimes I feel like that’s all we do on vacation! But I’m not too mad about it. 😂
Mauna loa
I love that when I hit google translate I saw what it means. The more you know. 😄
That sandwich looks so good!
We ate so good in Miami!!!
This is hands down an excellent review. Your experience and thoughts are relatable. We sail on December 6, 2024 4 days away, I can't wait. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this comment! It means a lot. You are in full on pre-vacation mode. You’re almost there! Have a great trip.
Good overall day to day over view of your cruise adventures. Doing my first Virgin cruse on the Resilant Lady in March
Thanks. I like how the cruise experience can be whatever you make of it. After the holidays March is right around the corner. I hope you have a great time!
35 hours to Europe?! 🤯😭😭😭 Oh, man! I'm glad you made it there and were able to enjoy the city and see the GOT spots!
It’s the only marathon I’ll ever participate in. See how I did that? Lol. It took forever, but it all worked out in the end.
@mahoganydrive 😆😆😆
Newark - Dubrovnik ..... direct flight !!!
Woulda been so nice to skip London!!
I love the video. I enjoy watching travel vlogs, though I don't like when things are not explained, so I am glad you did the narration to everything. And actually I did know that "Game of Thrones" was filmed there, two years ago I was lucky enough to visit Zadar and really wanted to make the trip to the south to see Dubrovnik. Did not work out. You motivated me to maybe try again :)
Thank you! I’m the same. I like details on travel videos too. I really think Dubrovnik is worth the effort of trying to make it back there and I hope you do!
Going on this cruise line on December 21st. My first cruise ever. I hope to have a great time in the Eastern Caribbean islands .
Oooh! That should be really nice. I think eventually we’ll do one there. We are going to try out one of the European ones next year. I hope you have a great time and great weather.
Great video ❤I hope one day to have my traveling husband but until then I will enjoy my 1st solo cruise in 2025 ❤
Good for you! No reason to wait. People on ship are so friendly. Between that, all of the potential activities and the time you will have to relax and just BE, you will have a great time.
Looking into booking this ship, and your video was very helpful.
Virgin is awesome. We liked it so much we’ve booked another one. Glad this was helpful.
I just love your videos. You have such a comforting commentary. I have to say all those stairs though!!! Holy cow, I’d be so skinny trudging up and down all those all the time. 😂 Still can’t believe you visited where my family lives. I’ve been so excited for your recap and this didn’t disappoint. It’s b just looks so beautiful. Glad your luggage finally arrived too! 🥰
My health app notified me that my steps were trending way up. Then reminded me they were down after I came home. It was a lot! Glad you liked the video. I appreciate you watching!
@@mahoganydrive..... have you been in Hard Rock Cafè in Dubrovnik ??
@ I haven’t. I’ve been in the US though so probably wouldn’t want to abroad.
Thank You🤟🏾
Thank YOU!!!😊
Watching from the Uk. Thanks for sharing. Your videos are so relaxing. I love the way you narrate. Glad you enjoyed your travels. Hope your rash got better.
Uk is on my list for sure next time we go to Europe. Thank you so much for watching!
This was a really good video, thank you.
Thank you so much!! 😊
Question: Why didn't you use airbnb?
The reunion was at the Flamingo so it was the easiest option and everyone wanted to be close to everything else on the strip.
Just subscribed! Really enjoyed your video ❤
Thank you! I just followed your channel too.
We just posted some vlogs of our experience at the Nomad as well! :) we originally booked at ParkMGM but they upgraded us to Nomad. We loooved the pool as well! It was the best pool experience in Vegas for us :)
Lucky! That is an amazing upgrade. The pool area there is perfect.
@ oh and your Bruno Mars tickets?! I gasped Lol that's amazing!
@ oh yeah! We did have some luck too. 😄
I really enjoyed your video. I think we were on the same sailing! 😊
Awww thank you! In that case your Bimini Beach Club day probably didn’t go like you were hoping either. 😩
Really awesome video yall, super helpful
Thank You. I’m So glad it was helpful! ☺️
I’m going this week can’t wait
Nice!!! I think the weather will be perfect. Have a great time.
Can't wait for your next video!
Aww. Thanks for this comment. It’s taking way longer than I planned but I am definitely working on it!
Love the video ❤
Awww. Thanks so so much!!!😁
Just booked this cruise for next May. Your video is fantastic
Thanks so much!!!! I hope you have a fab time on your cruise.
When i went to puerto plata with my family on royal caribbean that same guy was our tour guide his name is felipe and we were able to see the city and he was very good tour guide.
I love that you are not the only one who commented that remembers him, went on his tour, and liked it. He joked with us that he is the mayor of puerto plata and I kind of believe him now. 😁
I just came across your video 9/21/24. Over the summer, the Old Pink burned to the ground! It was a sad day in the 716!
#BillsMafia <3
I love a happy couple
Me too!! 😊
Black folks with class I love it and a beautiful classy run 💛💚💙🥳
We are planning our first trip to the USA and thank you very much for the excellent review.! your fasmily so nice!!!
Sounds like a big and exciting trip in the works. Planning is all part of the fun. I hope it turns out great. Thanks for your very kind comment.😊
@@mahoganydrive ❤true!!! 🙏thank you
I could never, but I commend you for finding a way to downsize in the end. Btw, 2 shorts for 18 days is absolutely not enough. 😅
Not to be dramatic or anything but it was sooooo hard for me. I did the best I could!! I’m still confused about how 2 shorts is enough for anybody. By the end of day 10 they’d be walking by themselves. 😂
What size suitcase did you use on the cruise? I have a 29” but afraid that will be overkill for my Feb cruise.
I’m probably not the best person to ask because I consider myself an over packer…but I don’t think it’s overkill at all as long as you are okay checking a bag if you’re flying. Mine is 28” tall. I saw plenty of people with that size or bigger. Some had 2 rolling. For anything longer than a weekend or 5 days that’s pretty much the size I end up needing. I wish I could get by with less but I need what I need and I’d rather take a larger size than over stuff a smaller one.
@@mahoganydrive I am exactly the same. Thank you for replying & you did a wonderful job!
Thank YOU!😊
Thanks for making this video - my husband and I are about to book an Atelier suite in October. Can't wait 😄
Oh yay! It’s going to be great. Have a wonderful time.
This looked like so much fun. Really enjoyed this video. Great music choices and editing. So tempted to try next time we are in the area ❤
Thank you! And thanks for watching. Yes, this tour was a lot of fun. The novelty of it alone is neat, but we all had a great time. Do it if you can. The link to the tour is on the description.
What a sweet vlog , loved it , so smooth and your voice and narrative is adorable. Thank you..what a treat . Also great editing 👌🏽
That means a lot. I spend a lot of time trying to make my videos as good as possible. Thank you so much! 😊
Great video
Thank You!!!😊
2 shorts is enough
For 18 days? In July. 😬
That tour guide in puerto plata was my tour guide last year and he was the sweetest person ever lol!!!! This video was amazing thank you!
That is too funny! He got you. And I’m glad! He did seem perfectly harmless. Glad you liked the video. Thank YOU for checking it out.
They will give you a personal fridge for free if you ask. Ive booked this hotel for the first time so are really grateful for this review. Ps your voice is really nice
Thanks for sharing that! Very helpful info and good to know. Nice to have for water but some people NEED one for other reasons. I love that they will do that and it makes me think about asking at other places, cause you never know. I think you’ll be very happy at this hotel. Hope you enjoy your stay. And thanks for the voice compliment.☺️
@@mahoganydrive you got a new subscriber today 😀❤️
Awww…thank you. So much! I’m currently clawing my way to 1k!
Wow I didn’t realize how nice the NoMad was 😍
A friend of ours stayed there, so I knew it would be nice, but it turned out to be even better than I expected! I felt right at home. It’s such a gem.
