    Love the videos. We leave in two months to travel. Truck bought , rv bought. Rn travel assignment next to be signed. Then we’re out of here. Can’t wait!!!

    Rae, I can totally relate to having less anxiety about "stuff". We've been fulltime RVing for 4 months and my anxiety levels are WAY better. Really enjoyed this video!!

    Rae, completely agree that working from home can consume your day causing you to stay inside the rig, but, at least our scenery changes often. SO much happier even though i find myself working a lot. Wouldn't change it for the world.

    • @GetawayCouple
      @GetawayCouple  5 років тому

      Oh totally! I'm definitely working more but wouldn't change it either 😊

    We just came back from Austin! Such a cool town. If you have time go to San Antonio while ur there it’s worth the ride! Good Q and A too, only way to do this is to dive right in!

    You need to take a trip to Greune, which is up by New Braunfels. THIS IS ALMOST MANDATORY and is worth rescheduling some itineraries to make room for this.
    Greune Hall is a very cool Texas Dance Hall which is very old. There is a restaurant which overlooks the Guadalupe River. Make sure you walk down the road to the low-water bridge which crosses the Guadalupe. There is a dive beer bar right on the river at some rapids where it is great just to watch, listen and enjoy the river which is probably 20 feet away. The bar gets washed out every 10 years and make sure to look up into one of the trees for a marker which indicates the height of the river during one of the floods. It will blow your mind. I would drive the entire "river road" taking your time and enjoying the sites. It is a beautiful river. One time, when winter tent camping for my birthday, I had to make a beer run and I was pretty much the only car on the river road. It was late in the afternoon and I came around a bend and there were over 200 or so wild turkeys on both sides of the road. I stopped and just watched. I guess they were coming down for an evening drink. Take care. Also, make sure you go up into the World's Fair tower in San Antonio. It has a nice observation deck, one story above the rotating restaurant and bar. They will give you a free elevator ride if you tell them you are going up for drinks. The deck is just one flight of steps up from the bar :)).

      The bar is no longer there. They tore it down after the last flood. My wife and I were married in Gruene Hall.

    Funny! A friend of mine was in Austin this week and he was Instagramming all about the Bird scooters. Really enjoyed this episode because it was great to see how your world has changed through the eyes of your friend.

    • @GetawayCouple
      @GetawayCouple  5 років тому

      Yes! We were glad to get her perspective for sure. I think we'll be doing that more since we're going back home to visit family and friends for a month! And we do love those scooters, they're so convenient.

    We have the same problem! Our family and friends complain that we need to be better about letting them know where we are going to be! But we are only 5 months in are already very lax about future planning. 😬 We like the freedom that it gives us though!

    • @GetawayCouple
      @GetawayCouple  5 років тому

      haha exactly! The freedom to change plans is awesome. It drives some of our friends/family nuts that we change dates around though... oops!

    Seriously hope you guys were able to make it to Torchy’s cause it rocks. One of my favorites for sure. I currently live in Dallas and am moving to Austin so loved both of the videos...but I like all your vids. Good job.

    It looks like you had fun. How is Carm-dog sitting there so calm? Jason doesn't need an excuse to wear a Seahawks hat. Wear it proudly, bro. Oh and yes, Natalie is gorgeous! She seems to have a great sense of humor and she puts out a great vibe. I really liked when she was asking you guys questions and reacting to your answers. You should definitely have her out and on more often, adding in a talk time with Natalie segment.

    • @GetawayCouple
      @GetawayCouple  5 років тому

      haha we'll be seeing her again when we spend some time home in Los Angeles so I guess we will have to have another Talk Time with Natalie segment! She does have a good sense of humor and obviously we love her vibe 😊Carmen is just a good girl inside! She loves sitting on the couches and watching us 😂I think she thinks she is part of the conversation (which she is half the time).

  • @susanf9862
    @susanf9862 5 років тому

    Yes!... Go to Greune! Great tip! I'm from San Antonio and you'll love it there on the glorious Guadelupe River. Too bad it's not tubing season. Great little town with Greune Hall, a great restaurant and an ice cream shop. Would make a great video... "The Getaway Couple Goes To Greune" (pronounced Green). Safe travels!

    • @GetawayCouple
      @GetawayCouple  5 років тому +1

      haha we didn't get to Gruene this time around! But we went there last year with Jason's sister and we really liked it. Totally feel like we missed a great video title opportunity though!

    If the dog, um, ...passes gas...near the propane detector, it can make it go off. Most of the time, they figure it out and will move away from the detector before...releasing.

    • @GetawayCouple
      @GetawayCouple  5 років тому +2

      lol! Well since it happened in the middle of the night it could have been Carmen tooting away as she got some water or something. She can be a stinky dog at times so I wouldn't put it passed her 🐶💨

    Welcome to Austin! I went to UT and was dying when y’all were trying to find Littlefield House. You were so close!! I don´t know if this is true btw, but in a Criminology class I took my prof told us there are bullet holes in the statue of George Washington on the south mall. I´ve also heard that the dorm is haunted. I never lived on campus but this is definitely something everyone says! Y’all should definitely hit up some breweries in town if you´re still here! They´re all over the city but there is a cluster in North Austin and a cluster in Dripping Springs (southwest ish of Austin)

    • @GetawayCouple
      @GetawayCouple  5 років тому

      lol we were so close! We got a Bird for Natalie and then started going and seriously it was right around the corner 😂We were walking all around that damn campus before we finally gave up and got the scooter lol. That's really interested about the statue! We did read a lot about the dorms being haunted too. We aren't in Austin anymore but would love to checkout the ones in North Austin! Last year when we were here we stayed in Dripping Springs and it was amazing to see all of those breweries out there!

    • @Johnnycbtx
      @Johnnycbtx 5 років тому +1

      Bruce, we also have a Grand Design 5th Wheel and a New Horizons 5th wheel before our Grand Design. You have so much more livable space and maneuverability for when you make that wrong turn and eventually you will. But as all things it is such a personal choice. If I were to go the MH route i would only get a diesel for resell and power.

    • @GetawayCouple
      @GetawayCouple  5 років тому +1

      Well obviously you know what we would pick! We love our 5th wheel and diesel truck.
