Aw, Billy, we sure thank you for sticking with us. It's quite a year ahead!

It's going to be an amazing year!!

You guys are just the best. Jenn seriously has a full on "thing" going for Beaulieu. She keeps trying to sneak in extra days there. We left Grassington 5 days before the 1940's weekend last year. No way we're missing it in 2025. We've already started working on our fancy dress outfits. And the kids. Seeing all the kids is long overdue. We did a quick tour two years ago and were able to connect with a bunch of them, but we always want more!!

We love your hometown! Did we miss anything?!?

We are both excited for this cruise. Many of the ports are familiar, but some of the remote islands will be new for us. We'll definitely have to connect on board!!

@welltravelledlife that would be great!

I'm going to send you the day by day itinerary and see if there's any way you can fit in a connection somewhere along the way.

@@welltravelledlife Thank you! Much of my schedule for 2025 remains unclear as of yet, but if there were to prove to be a possible connection point later, that would be great!

A million thanks. It was quite a year!

We definitely hit some winners. We'll return to a few and continue to discover new locations to love!

We had so many amazing highlights. Was there one place or activity that stood out to you?

It’s been a pretty special year and we’re happy we got to share it with you! What would your highlights have been? Either ones we all shared, or ones you did on your own?

The glacier kayaking was a highlight for me - for sure. But if I had to compare, you're right. The bears, the sled dogs and the whales were stars!! But I also have to say that English villages, and Scottish drives rank up there too. We're eager to find a way to include you in the 2025 highlight video!

@@welltravelledlife Having missed the bears would have been unbearable. But good that the whales were awhaleable, and the sled dogs seem like good travel dogtrine to me. Would be nice to join forces for 2025 adventures if possible!

I always wonder which videos stick with you and that you watch more than once. This is one of my favorites because meeting Patrick and his friends made Stockholm feel so much more accessible. We returned to Stockholm and had an evening of beer tasting at an old church that had been converted into a microbrewery. It was just a fabulous night and has cemented that friendship.

It was pretty spectacular! Jenn says her only regret was not having a wetsuit and being able to jump in with them.

They were so loud! Total barkers, groaners, belchers!!

Oh my gosh, you should have smelled them! The barking and groaning was cacophonous! We couldn't help but laugh at them.

I had to do a lot of audio editing here! We were all screaming and yelling the whole time! Such a magical experience!!

I caught Jenn watching this (again!) last night. She falls asleep watching those beautiful creatures. It's very sweet.

We're glad we aren't the only ones that thought the wildlife that day was absolutely amazing!🤯🙃😲

They are mesmerizing. I remember times where you had to get out the binoculars are peer through them to see if that really was a spout - or just a moving cloud. These two days in Hawaii and Canada the whales were everywhere and were doing such extraordinary things!

By the end of the day, I was absolutely exhausted. There had been so much excitement throughout the entire day! As we were editing, we had to cut out all of the screaming. This was special. Even Captain Jack left us saying he'd never seen so much activity by so many whales. Happy, happy heart with this video!!!

This is a video I could fall asleep to. The whales are mesmerizing.

As I was editing, I had to mute all of our screams! There was so much action, I was just throwing my camera around trying to catch everything.

Oh my gosh! Hard to take bad pics. Animals were everywhere and being so bold!

We love your hometown! The tree art was fabulous - whimsical and very creative. This part of Norway is always stunning. We're heading back this coming summer!

@welltravelledlife hope you have an awsome time there 👍❤️

No shortage of cuteness! The dogs were such goers. I can't imagine how you would manage all that energy if you didn't give them a job. These are the days we remember.

And Daisy is a cute addition to their dogs 😅 these dogs are not what I would expect for sled dogs at all but they are cute!

We're so happy you found our channel! We had some pretty exceptional experiences in Alaska and Canada this summer. The dog sledding was certainly unique, but doing it up on the glacier really made it feel authentic and like we were seriously a part of daily training and the dogs weren't just a part of the tourist industry.

Thanks so much Zach! It was a fabulous flight up to the top of the glacier and we had an exceptional experience dog sledding up there.

@@welltravelledlife Awesome.

Appreciate your very kind comment. It was a spectacular day and definitely warrants a space on your bucket list!

I think her point was that there were a variety of breeds and mixes that could work on a team.

@welltravelledlife Ridgeback, they hate the cold 😉

We loved his Welch-ness and are so sorry for the loss to those who've known him much longer than we ever did.

Considering we didn't even think we'd get to go, it turned out to be an amazing day! The flight was as gorgeous as the sledding.

There definitely are. It's got a really pretty little town.

@I live in Lincoln

@@CharlotteLugg You'e one of the lucky ones!

We'll be coming to Ilulissat this summer. We'd love any tips!

It was real dram! You guys are probably all ho hum, bears chasing each other, big deal. But for us, that's the bucket list stuff!!!

Eric handled us so well. He never let us feel fear. He very nonchalantly explained that the bear just wanted a better perspective. He was in no way being intimidating or establishing dominance. He could have been peeing his pants scared, but we never felt it.

Those feet!!! Such a healthy looking coat, sweet face and big feet!!!

Wow! Not sure what we did to deserve rock star status, but we're grateful for the shout out! Thank you so much!

And if this is Jennifer's Tracie, she says, "Awww!!! A million thanks and sending so much love!!!!!!" What great memories she has of working with you!

Thanks so much for being here. Hope you enjoy our view of the world.

Fabulous city!

That is obviously such good advice. I hope you caught the full video of our day where you'll get a much better sense of our distances. There was a point where two bears r chased each other and came close to a group of photographers. In this instance, as soon as we saw the bear, we stopped, gave it wide berth and allowed it to walk away from us.

We really want to thank you. Erik was superb and we wish we could give you better contact info. We will be back in Molde this summer and are trying to connect with him again. If we reach him, we'll be sure and get a more direct number or an e-mail and we'll add it to the description and we'll post it here. Have you watched our videos from Alesund? Knut was our driver there and he was fantastic. If you schedule ahead of time with him, he could probably do a similar trip. His contact info is in the description for both of our Alesund videos because we've worked with multiple times.

Did you cry. I cry every time I watch this. I'm so grateful you took me to church.

I can see me watching this video when I want to remember this man. Thank you!!! ❤

I just watched it again. To remember.

@@joaskins5986 Ive gone back a couple times too. I'm so glad to have this.

When the weather gets bad, we get to a brewery!!

Yeah, we felt right at home. And that stout...it really was rapturous!!

We really love finding a place that feels local and speaks to the community. The brewery is putting out some pretty incredible beers - and the place just feels like fun. Definitely a cool town!

That stout was a total win. We both like dark beers, Jennifer loves a Hefeweizen and Jonathan is a Pilsner guy.

@@welltravelledlife Yes Hefeweizen is so nice when we were in Munich, we had some Hefeweizen beers from Pualaner and Franziskaner

@@Wyldfamilytravel Oh yeah, those are two of Jennifer's favorites!!

Seeing them in the wild living their lives is so different - and so cool. I was amazed at how much they were aware of us, but totally left us alone.

@@welltravelledlife Amazing :)

Thank you so much for your very kind comment. This is the "once in a lifetime" footage that we're so excited to share!!

The entire day was incredible. More action than we expected - and WAY closer than he expected!!!

@@welltravelledlife Nice! Although, after all that travel experience, it makes sense that you've got your bearings straight!

@@AirOnTheWater And there you are with the quips. You're too good at that!!
