I am a recreational RVer, so I have to have a little bit of a plan to really get the most out of my vacations, but … my planning includes i) reservations for my destination location, and ii) making a list of all the things I could choose to do/see while in the area. Then, I just decide what to do based on how I feel/what interests me most each day. I call it “planned spontaneity”. This approach satisfies the planner within me, while also letting me feel “fly by the seat of my pants” free. 😁😁😁
We stay at this RV Park every winter. The location is great to go do so many things. The manager of Vacation Village is fantastic & tries so hard to make sure everyone has a pleasant stay. We love to eat breakfast at 'Speggtacular, & lunch or dinner at PJ'S or Frenchy's.

We have had more fun winging it. We only drive 4 hours and where ever we land that’s where we explore. Now if we hit an area we know ahead of time we will be sooner or later we plan for that . Other then that we just enjoy!!
@@GratefulGlamper I absolutely love seeing what Alaska is going to have to say in each video now!! It’s the highlight of my day now and I just love it!! Maybe Alaska can convince the c as try s to be a bit more vocal tho cause I like hearing from them also!!
Our shakedown trip from Michigan to South Dakota and back was fully planned… even fuel stops were scheduled. That worked… until it didn’t! Our entire return trek needed to be cancelled and rescheduled. The rescheduling turned out to be the best part of our trip! 🚀🦩
Fun video. 30 stadiums. We've done the tour--took us 7 years to see all of them. We didn't camp at them all. The ones further than a day's drive we flew and hotel or AirBnB'd them. Problem is: There are 2 or 3 new ones now since we did the tour so if you want to be complete you have to keep up LOL (we haven't).
Have you guys ever done a video on what it takes to get started full timing and what you do for Dr, dentist, mail etc? Considering doing this with just my wife n I and would be helpful to have some type of guide. Thank you!
We were just hanging out on the causeway before you go into Honeymoon Island. Our absolute favorite place to go! Don’t give up our secret favorite beaches!! 😂
Glad to see you back on the road again. While you are touring the Gulf coast I highly recommend the Villages in Wildwood. That is a seriously fun place to visit.
My only frustration with Harvest Host is when you’re trying to make plans, have to wait for a response, and never get one. They need to work on that. My go to places are HH, Cracker Barrel, and casinos. I’m cheap 😏.
Great episode looks like you guys had a wonderful time. So lucky you got your purse back I suggest put a AirTag inside I have one on my e-bike. Safe travels 🙏🏼❤️🤙🏼
Hey you two! If you are wanting to see all the baseball stadiums. Get ahold of the American Baseball League. Let them know you travel full time, and you have a little league baseball player, and that you are on this trek. They will send you FREE tickets for the family. Or call the stadium ahead of time, and they may get you fre tickets that are available. We had a friend do this for a summer. They never paid to go to a game.
When it comes to traveling Me and my wife have always been spontaneous. Never plan a route. We have found some of the best spots to camp or just travel routes . Nothing like living by the seat of your pants. Lol
Same here. My wife and I never never plan. We just pick a general direction, and head that way. The spontaneous is the best. We get there when we get there. If you try to make it this, " We have to be here by this time and do these things during that time you just set yourself up for failure and disappointment and lots of stress.
We've watched many of your video's and gotten a lot of good ideas. Thanks. I've never seen you visit Lancaster, PA but they do have a baseball stadium, Clipper Magazine Stadium. Not to mention the history of the area.
Love Alaska!! And your channel!! As a parent that lost a child in a golf cart accident, it freaks me out to see the kids without seatbelts on and fidgeting on the back of that cart.. it only takes an instant to change your life..
Funny story, when you were at Canes you were 3 blocks from my house. Glad you spent some time in Pinellas County. What RV park did you stay in? Thanks for all you do for the RV community. Safe travels.
Wish we had known you were here! We would have loved to meet you. We make jewelry with sand from Honeymoon Island and would have a gift for you in our shop in Dunedin. Can show you around the area if you come back again! Love your channel! We live on the beach and would welcome you to our beach anytime! You were just up the street from us on Gulf Blvd.
Had we known you were coming to visit our county, we certainly would’ve given you places to visit/see!! You were 10 miles at best from us😮😳 Looks like you all had a great time for an “un-planned” trip
Tell us about executing a drone shot at a truck stop and under the rig on the exit. We are thinking about starting to document our travels but can’t imagine all the B roll and editing. Nice job!
Just watched this video and am wondering what you guys use to monitor the inside RV temperature and alert you if the RV starts getting hot. I assume you use something since you leave your pets in the RV when you are away. We are just getting started RVing and are finding your videos to be very helpful. Thanks.
We use our micro air thermostat which has a high temp alert. Since we have solar/lithium is the Rv has a power loss at the pedestal, it switches over to the battery bank so we’re never really without power.
We use our mircroair thermostat as it has a high temp alert - since we have solar lithium if there is a power loss our rv switches over to batter power instead
I got the rays shirt and hat several years when I was a volunteer coach for a little league team that was the Rays. I don’t remember which shirt I would have purged since it was several years ago - thanks for watching
I’m with you 100%!! I don’t plan anything!! I get up when I wanna get up, I go to bed when I’m tired, I go where I want to go when I want to go and I’ll stay a particular place until I’m tired of it or I get kicked out of the RV park for staying too long. God, ya gotta love retirement!!! Isn’t this why we worked our tails off all those years?
Question, I've seen a few people who have gloves on when they pump gas, is it for germs or something to do with it being diesel gas. I googles it and it just talked about covid
At the beginning of this you said you left your purse on the back of the chair . What is in your purse is your security. You either put your purse in your lap or on the floor by your feet , the only person you can trust is yourself. Please think what you would go through if someone takes your purse. 😢
Bless the honest, good people and pray for the ones that aren't

This area your in is where I live. Love it on the gulf coast. Dunedin downtown usually has things going on every weekend.

LOVE the dog talking!! Very funny!
He has a lot to say! 😂
I love Alaska's commentary
Alaska does have a lot to say 💙🐾 thanks for watching

Awesome peeps in Florida!! So happy you got your purse back!
Me too!
If you guys haven’t been yet. Head over to Moonshine Acres and hit Ichetucknee Springs.
The bacon that was a good laugh! I enjoyed the video
Such a fun video! Looks like a great time, just winging it!
Thanks for watching

Good to know on the stadium number. We’re adding them to our travel bucket list!

The causeway is one of our favorites too! A perfect place to watch the sunset.❤
Alaska's talking really cracks me up
He cracks us up too!

our MH came with a memory foam mattress , it was obsoletely terrible , we swapped for the spring filled one from old MH
Pinellas county… I grew up there before I joined the Army! Videos like this make me happy I left!
How are you handling school for your children? Do they homeschool? Your trips are so much fun to watch.
Great episode looks like you guys had a wonderful time. So lucky you got your purse back I suggest put a AirTag inside
I have one on my e-bike. Safe travels 🙏🏼❤️🤙🏼
That’s a good idea, thanks for watching
✅ Lighthouses…👍
Safe travels. God Bless and l love yall 💕💕💕
Thanks for watching
If you’re going to HoneyMoon Island, take the ferry to Caladisi Island. Boat ride and beach!
Oh! Thanks for the suggestion! :) We will do that
Coconut water is good if you add some rum!!

We have a lot of fun narrative what we think he would say. 😉🐾💙
Love Alaska!! And your channel!!
As a parent that lost a child in a golf cart accident, it freaks me out to see the kids without seatbelts on and fidgeting on the back of that cart.. it only takes an instant to change your life..
Oh man, we are so sorry for your loss. Thanks for bringing this to our attention
I was more worried with them being on their bunks while driving (or it appeared that you were driving)
Yay bacon! Who's a good boy?! 😄
🐾🥓
Funny story, when you were at Canes you were 3 blocks from my house. Glad you spent some time in Pinellas County. What RV park did you stay in? Thanks for all you do for the RV community. Safe travels.
We stayed at Vacation Village in Largo.
Lol. You’re talking about “turning onto Bryan-Dairy”. I’m on Bryan-Dairy going to work.
Small world…
Never knew Cactus was wood.
Looks like fun. If we ever get rv out of the shop we will need to go further than an hour.
Hope you get your rig back soon!
Wish we had known you were here! We would have loved to meet you. We make jewelry with sand from Honeymoon Island and would have a gift for you in our shop in Dunedin.

It was a great time for being totally spontaneous- maybe we will see you around sometime!
@@GratefulGlamper , for sure!! Would love to meet you out there!
Yea, no doubt. I live Indian Rocks.
@@None-mg3jo, we’re in Clearwater 😃
Tell us about executing a drone shot at a truck stop and under the rig on the exit. We are thinking about starting to document our travels but can’t imagine all the B roll and editing. Nice job!
Thanks!
I love your dog
Thanks! 🐾💙
Did you go to the sponge docks while you were there? Rusty Bellie’s restaurant has amazing fresh caught off the boat seafood
We didn’t but it’s on the list!
i got a kick out of indian rocks altitude , 5 ft or less , lol
😂

@@GratefulGlamper So does that mean your A/C will run off of 12v? Ours only runs from 120v. Thanks.
What kind of monitor do you have for Alaska and the kitties??
We use our mircroair thermostat as it has a high temp alert - since we have solar lithium if there is a power loss our rv switches over to batter power instead
Coconut must be cold for the water to be tasty.
Good to know!
Which mattress did you get?
The Aurora Luxe Hybrid
Question: You have a one in on out rule, so what did you get rid of when you added the Rays shirt and hat?
I got the rays shirt and hat several years when I was a volunteer coach for a little league team that was the Rays. I don’t remember which shirt I would have purged since it was several years ago - thanks for watching
Charity, is that a Wayward Waggs sticker behind your seat?
We have several dozen stickers on our slides that we’ve traded with other RVers.
The reason for getting into this lifestyl is for flexibility and spontaneity. I don’t want to plan my trip a year out. I’m sorry.
I’m with you 100%!! I don’t plan anything!! I get up when I wanna get up, I go to bed when I’m tired, I go where I want to go when I want to go and I’ll stay a particular place until I’m tired of it or I get kicked out of the RV park for staying too long.
God, ya gotta love retirement!!! Isn’t this why we worked our tails off all those years?
did you have a RON JONS t shirt on ?
How do you make Alaskas voice like that? Is it a program? Thanks❤
That’s his voice 😉
Where do the kids sit when you are driving. I thought I saw them lying in their beds.
The way you guys eat junk food, it's amazing you're not as round as you are tall!
Our videos are edited - not everything that transpires in a 4 day time frame (or that we consume) is shown in a 30 minute video. Thanks for watching
Question, I've seen a few people who have gloves on when they pump gas, is it for germs or something to do with it being diesel gas. I googles it and it just talked about covid
The diesel pumps are greasy from the diesel fuel.

👍🏻
Do your kids ever wish they were part of sports teams? So they could be pushed and learn to build relationships with their peers?
If you sell your motor home I bet you could get the pink house.
😉
I’ve left my purse more than once and someone turned it in. It’s a panic when you do that.
Worst feeling ever 🤦🏻♀️
I have a question if you don't mind. Why are you wearing gloves when you pump gas but then touch your face with the gloves?
Diesel is oily and handles are grimy.
How does your dog talk
He uses his voice 😉
@@GratefulGlamper 😁😂👍
Have y’all been to St Louis Missouri for a Cardinals game yet?
We have! It was a fun stadium.
@@GratefulGlamper I live about 2 1/2 hours from there Hoping to become mobile in the near future
Crzdrcter@pdx, that footage is just the right amount of bougie 🎉
Best food ever. Cane’s.
We LOVE Canes!

What does this stand for?
Keep Up The Good Work, Means I liked it!
Thanks!
The bacon that was a good laugh! I enjoyed the video
