Is Glamping in a Tent Glamorous? Our 1st Experience in Wisconsin!
Join us on our glamping adventure in the beautiful Wisconsin wilderness! In this video, we trade Airstreams and cozy barrels for our very first tent glamping experience. From struggling with zippers to figuring out how to stay warm on a chilly October night, we take you through all the fun (and funny) moments that made this trip one to remember. We’ll show you around our glamped-out campsite, share our packing mishaps (hello, missing plates!), and give you a sneak peek into the nearby scenic spots we explored. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or just here for the laughs, this video has it all! Grab your blanket and cozy up-this is glamping with a twist! #glamping #GlamorousCamping #GlampingSpot
Thanks for the great spot @bigrockcreek304 !

Douro Valley Tour Review: The Best and Worst Parts of Our Experience
Im Portuguese and it’s so weird: I’ve never heard birds on ceiling sound speakers anywhere!And its the first that i see an animal inside restaurant! Wow, it seems i don’t live in Portugal!! 😅😅😅😅
Considering a trip to Lisbon? Join us on Tuesday night for our Travel Talk Tuesday on Lisbon! 7 PM CST.
Hmm, bearded guy named Chris, going to visit Santa on a train. Last name isn't Cringle by any chance?
😂
The butter tarts are off the charts… especially with raisins. That’s why I never buy them.
I have already visited 42 countries in 5 continents. I've worked in 11 countries in 3 continents, I worked and lived in Ireland for a few years, I love Ireland and it's my favorite country in Europe after Portugal.
Perhaps, someday, we'll get up to 42 countries. :)
You just blew most American's minds. "In Switzerland it's not called Swiss cheese? You'll be labelled communists
😂
Is there a reliable website to visit for laws and regulations for us citizens to get information regarding how long I can stay in Ireland and Scotland? I guess Europe as well. 😁 I’m in the beginning phase of planning some serious traveling. I know you two are more knowledgeable than I on this. Any help is much appreciated. 💕
Yes. You can find that information on the State Department's site under International Travel, Learn About Your Destination travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages.html For the UK, an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) will be required starting January 8th, 2025. It is inexpensive (I think around $13) and lasts for two or three years. If we were about to go to Europe for some serious indefinite travel, we would go to Ireland (outside of the Schengen region), the UK (it's own thing), and countries inside of the Schengen region (Portugal, Spain, France, etc.) in rotation for up to 90 days each. After hitting 90 days, I believe you have to stay out of a given area for 6 months. The 6 months part might not be true for all 3 areas. We're not legal experts, so I do recommend double-checking with other sources, etc. I hope that helps! -- Melissa
Glendalough is a must visit! The monastery was founded by St Kevin in the 6th century . The name Glendalough - in Irish, it translates to "valley of the two lakes" It takes you back in time with it's history, beauty and wonder.. Hope you guys get to visit! :)
Thank you for the tip! Is that a recommendation for option 1? Or a take whichever trip and then carve out some time to visit Glendalough?
@@chrisplusmelissa For first time visitors I would recommend option 1. A day trip from Dublin to Glendalough is on the itinerary, All options are great,, and for me Glendalough is in my top 5 places to visit. Carve that trip out like a Thanksgiving Turkey,, you won't regret it my friends. :)
You two will soon be making more money than Rick Steves. Please get the software figured out. Add lots of videos and photos. Put together an electronic brochure for each trip.. Prices are too low you guys should make at least 1k profit per person on your trips.
Thank you for the sage advice. I think we have the software figured out. All new ventures require a lot of learning... hopefully life and past business experience helps us learn faster. :D
America is so fucked. Time to leave.
Great marketing guys! You are a great team and will fill up Irish Tours that you go to. Chris please integrate more photos and video clips in your TTT’s
Thanks Gary for all the support... I've wanted to add photos and video clips but dang, we've had some bad luck with the streaming sofware... but I'll get it figured out. :D
Love your new Christmas Markets Riverboat Cruise. Great idea! You two are the new Rick Steves. I would copy you but I am not sure I like people enough to want to hang out with them for a week. Way more money than UA-cam would ever pay. I have seen your markup. Great!
As promised, here is the link to the three tours we're considering: chrisplusmelissa.com/three-incredible-ireland-tours-help-us-choose-the-best-one/ Vote for your favorite by Wednesday, November 27th! Oh... we figured out the camera/software issue... hopefully next livestream, all will be great! 😆
Sorry I missed this live. Crazy kids.
We intend to do one every Tuesday at 7 PM Central Time. Put it on your calendar! :D
@@chrisplusmelissa I'll have to catch the replays -- that's 1am in Portugal. Looking forward to your Lisbon one.
Spent two weeks in Ireland and drove all over the place: Dublin, Galway, Kilarney, Dingle, Kinsale. It's such a beautiful country with the nicest people you'll ever meet, we never had a bad day. We've been to many beautiful European cities, but the Irish people can't be beat! Don't be afraid to drive on the "wrong side" and don't be afraid to get lost. Visit Ireland !!!!
I've gotta put these on my calendar so I don't miss it.
We intend to do one every Tuesday at 7 PM Central Time. Next week, Lisbon!
I'm 61 and Eatmore is by far my favorite candy bar (not even close). But wife wife does not like them.
Opposites attract! :D
Couple of things, Limerick is a sporting mad city and county. Limerick hurlers (game for warriors) have won the All Ireland competition 5 times in the last six years. Also, Thomand Park is the home of Munster rugby, (Munster were the first Irish team to beat the all blacks ~ New Zealand back in 1978). The thing about the treaty stone is the English broke the treaty before the ink was dry. The take-away is don't trust the English (all different now). The emblem on the Limerick Hurling jersey is the treaty stone with the words 'cuimhnigh ar Luimneach' ~ remember Limerick! ~ a battle cry. Limerick people are straight shooters, no bullsh*t, tell it to you the way it is. They love a good argument. Will often have a good (sometime heated, but don't be alarmed) just for the sake of it (maybe be just a little alarmed). Proof of straight talking, Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries calling out the IRA when no one else would (stayed quiet, the solence causes violence). Extremely loyal. If a Limerick person has your back, you're covered, no matter how rough or bad it gets. Yes, I am a proud Limerick man. Checkout Bill Murray singing in Limerick pub
The 4 Leaf Clover has Zero cultural connections to Ireland 🇮🇪,,,, l love that you guy's love my homeland but please it's the subtle things that matter......The Shamrock is associated with Ireland 🇮🇪
Our apologies on that. We realized our graphic selection error after publishing the video, thanks to similar comments. Happily in the graphics we've done for other things since, we've made sure to use shamrocks. :-)
What's the difference between an introverted Finn and an extroverted Finn? A famous Finnish expression to describe themselves: 'The introverted Finn looks at his shoes while he talks to you, whereas the extroverted Finn looks at your shoes while he talks to you...'
🤣
Will you return to Quebec city for more living ? Loved the video ! Thank you !
We're not sure, but we did really enjoy it.
Now you have two tours pending add about of British Columbia next Summer.
Brilliant marketing concept for future personally guided tours. Rick Steves does the same. I may copy you.
Hi Gary... so do you do tours? Are you a travel advisor?
@@chrisplusmelissa Yes with Fora Travel in NYC an IATA Agency. Would like to try an Irish tour with a local guide I am acquainted with. You two have the youth and charisma to entertain your guests and you are part of the attraction. You will do very well with your tour business. Far better than possible with UA-cam alone. Check out my livestream of the Thanksgiving Day Parade. I acquired a NYPD Press Pass to video on the other side of the barricades.
Here is the blog post detailing all we'll be doing on our 2025 Halloween Tour: chrisplusmelissa.com/haunted-ireland-a-spooky-tour-to-remember-halloween-2025/ It took me a little bit to write it all down. Slainte! -- Melissa
As a poor swiss leaving closed to Geneva, I discovered a lot of things with your video ;-) Very classy places and what about the lemon lol Thanks
It's funny because i'm a swiss and i'm 65 and i have never seen most of this, theses are things you will encounter in a city like Geneva if you are rich and visit classy places. I'm living in a small village in the country and watching this was like visiting some alien planet!
sorry I am late to the party. Chris, you missed out on running for the Premier of BC, we would be in such better hands. Thanks for the entertaining videos and all the work you guys put into them.
Ha ha... I'm certain I would not be very good as Canada's Premier. :D
I don't get it....I'm out.
come back here
Yup - Ok-an-Ahhh-gan.
Thank you!
The latter in the Toilet is NOT a latter its a towel dryer that you hang your towel to dry. Its usually a switch to swith the so called latter. You hang the towel on the steps or stick.
Chris is wearing the Evolution Pants by Western Rise.
Did you notice the stylish pants Chris wore in this video? They were given to him by Western Rise. They're the versatile Evolution pants. He's worn them on the trail, at nice restaurants, and he'll definitely be bringing them on our next trip across the pond.

Omg I could barely watch when you put the Raclette cheese pan on top of the oven 🙈 you usually put it in the middle of the thing 😊
Ah! Good to know. Thank you!
Or Saskatoon in the winter
We live in Minnesota now... we understand cold. :D Maybe not Saskatoon cold, but it can get pretty bad here. :D
If you think Vancouver is cold go to WPG in the winter
The lady statue in front of the house of parliament (Bundeshaus) is Helvetia. She gives our country its name: Confederatio Helvetica (Helvetic Confederation). The helvets were the celt tribe on swiss territory.
Hey there, I was born in Berne and still live here (and will probably die here, because I love it so much). It is so funny seeing my town through the eyes of other people. Hope you had fun. Next time you are here, let me know, I will show you special places and secret corners. Tell your friends that are coming here, I would love to show them. Thank you for these amazing pictures.
We loved Berne... it was quite delightful.
