I say thank you for all your ventures. In June I was in the hospital for six weeks. I have a life-long illness the keeps me limited to travel. A nurse helps me with my daily needs. Your videos help me explore with you. Thanks for all the effort you expend to take me with you.
Praying for you !
What a beautiful b&b. Gorgeous pool. So good to see you so happy. It's cold here. Sending you virtual hugs from New Jersey!
Prayers sent to you Rich ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Found you 😁 haven't watched for a while 😭 but I'm back . Hopefully your doing good 💯
Eric, this vlog is the perfect example of why you are my fav vlogger!! I can honestly say I don't feel in my heart that you have a devious bone in your body. You are so transparent. I know there are things that are NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!!! I'll be 68 next month and I love your generous heart and the tenderness you show when you interact with your kitties. And Jax...well...I will never ever forget that cool dude!!! I especially like the special effects of Jax on your video out-tro. Thanks for bringing us with you today. It's special when it's just you. Somehow it feels like 1 on 1 when you share those vlogs with us. Even not being a patreon you still make good contents for those of us that don't mind waiting. You're worth it. Thanks Man. Love ya!
Thank you for adding a tribute to Jax in your new intro. I didn’t ask for him to be added because I know he’s always in your heart even if he wasn’t in the video. I lost kitties many years ago and miss them and think about them often even now. 🙏🥰
I'm really glad you put Jax in the opening and the closing Eric. He was one of the reasons I bet a lot of us first started watching your channel for, and I'm sure a lot of people still miss him, but as always on wards and upwards. Love the show but it's still nice to see Jax.
Soooo, can't order pizza cuz ain't got no card; but AirBnB without a card? Priceless.
Adding Jax makes me so HAPPY!!!!!!!!! Didn't say anything, didn't want to upset you, know how it can be loosing a loved one. Thanks LOVED TO SEE IT.
There's an old RVer, twice you age, been doing the lifestyle for nearly 30 years...he always says "You do you and I'll do me." I remember having to email you to give you a compliment because you had the comments turned off...keep doing you Eric, I enjoy your videos. 😁😁😎😎👍👍
Sooo, can't order a pizza cuz ain't got no card; BUT Air-BNB without a card?
That's the kind of overnight trip that really resets your whole mind for days after. Nice.
First of all thanks for your videos. My wife and I were planning on traveling five years ago. I bought an RV, I put in solar, instant hot water, extra 50 gal water, Olympian Wave 6 heater and much, much more. I fell in a restaurant and permanently injured my back. Its ruined my life, I can't barely walk and there is no hope. Thanks for your traveling videos, it was our dream.
Anyhow, Bank of America. Ive been with them 41 years. All of a sudden they put a hold on my debit card for a so called suspicious charge of $16. I went to the grocery with around $200 of groceries and my card was on hold. How embarrassing!!! Now someone charged over $400 for a dating site of all things. I called, they said they had to cancel my card. Its been a week and a half. I finally got my new card yesterday. All my Auto-pays have to be changed. Life isnt easy.
Youre lucky to have Felix and Kevin, great guys. I miss having clise friends like that.
My wife and I travelled to 37 states over the course of a year and a half. She fell inside of a Safeway in a puddle . Messed up an entire side of her body. They had video they admitted to and erased it . She’s been fighting for them to cover medical and they won’t. Her lawyer says to expect a long drawn out battle. We can’t go more than an hour or so now . These videos are great for a little escape. I wish you the best !
Thanks, I have a lawsuit against this restaurant. I slipped in a huge puddle of water near the bar area. Fractured my back in two places. I ruined my knee replacement knee that I had done years ago. My rotator cuff needs surgery. They made a ridiculous low offer about a year ago. I’m ruined for life. I hired this huge lawyer company in Florida, they’re all over the TV for commercials, billboards but have done Nothing I over Four years. Meanwhile I sit and sleep in my recliner. I ope your wife improves. Life isn’t fair sometimes, I worked hard my whole life working two jobs and ran a small business. Now I’m 70 and can’t do anything.
Thanks for adding Jax. He was a wonderful kitty. I enjoy your videos and that's why I watch them. Life isn't perfect. Live your life how you choose to. I enjoy your distractions. Take care of yourself, Tara and Opie.
Awe, Jax with his wings made me shed a little tear. miss that guy! 💗
Here I was cruisin' down the I10 when a lil Tater Tot merged on right in front of me! What a treat to see Eric on the move
JUST STOP COMPLAINING!!!
Eric, I remember coming across your channel back when you were getting around in a run down van and some people were giving you a hard time about a few things. You hung in there and have come a long way! I'm glad to see things have really improved for you. I'm sure you deserve every bit of it.
In all honesty, I stopped watching you for a bit because you seemed to transition to more of a travel vacation channel, so it's good to see you in more of the "life on the road" mode.
Oh, and btw, I just got my Connecten today. So far, so good!
Keep hanging in there and I look forward to some more good things from you. Take care.
Beautiful homage to beloved Jax ...especially good in the out-roll! (we miss him too - such a character/special kitty!)
my hubby and i LOVEDDDD this video!! so much packed into one episode! that rental with the pool, wow, so nice.. and that long line to get back to the US, wowza! buying meds there.. why not, right? since its a rip off here in the states much of the time. just be careful to make sure they have a good rep which i assume they do.. congrats on the savings and taking a fun trip at the same time. 😊
Thank you for all the work you do in documenting what YOU want of your life. Not only are they informative but fun. As we say "You Do You everyone else can do them." Love the intro-outro.
The air-BnB looked fantastic. Great place to relax.
Wow! Cool Airbnb! I need me some more "distractions" ! That's REAL LIFE. That other stuff is a dirty matrix.
Thanks for your kindness in accommodating me with the nice selfie when meeting you tonight. And remember- Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer to the end, the faster it rolls dude! So do sh*t before it runs out 😜...Kate
Eric you do you and that is what makes you an amazing person,there is always a Karen or two that knows more that’s life !! Have enjoyed your channel for a few years now and can’t wait for your next adventures 👏👏👏👏
These are the videos that I hangout for. More please.
$9 USD for a margarita in Mexico?? That's steep!
I'm going to bet that's gringo prices
Having been to Los Algadones during snowbird season, I feel like the prices are higher during those winter months due to well over a million people coming into the Quartszite/LTVA area from about Oct-Mar, so they likely make the most they can while the crowds are there.
This is something I see on several of the channels that I watch, you need to ignore the whiners, the ones that are delusional that keep saying that isn't what I would, etc.
I too was a Harvick fan and decided to root on Byron a few weeks ago… Chase Elliot as my back up. Rooting for Harvick for all these years, it was stressful to find a new driver to root for…lol.
Thanks for the videos.
#9 Chase is my primary driver but pull for Willie B also.
Fun trip!
The pool waterfall only runs when the filter is on, which may be 6-8 hours in the day.
sometimes I just have to laff, 'Mango, my favourite fruit, in fact, my only fruit I like...especially in a marguerita...'
Loved loved LOVED your opening! Thank you for your ride with a beautiful voice over! Yet another reason I love your videos so much! You are my spirit RVer! 😊
Eric, That BnB is FANTASTIC !!! WOW !@@!!
Maybe if you improved your diet, you won't need half of the meds
Super awesome bnb definitely the best way to unwind and de stress 😊
Thank you for taking us along on your adventure. Good luck with the new bank.
I say bring back the old intro, to me it seem like it should be the *Trademark* for this channel. We are so use to it!
You never need to explain yourself to the ones who support you. But I always appreciate how genuine you are.
Hope tomorrow goes smoothly
Everyday is a fiesta in Mexico
Just roll with the punches and live life to the fullest!
Alright I want to go, next time you go. You have way too much fun. That is my goal in life, to have as much fun as possibly.
Where do you think they get the water for the ice??
I loooove your new intro and outro! I'm glad your Mexico adventure turned out well and you're all stocked up on meds too. That Air b-n-b looked awesome and the bank news is good to know that you've made good choices for the future. Good luck on your travels!
Look forward to your videos. Guess you will have to put Opie and Tara somewhere whenever you pull in the extension. I would be so afraid they would get caught in between. Keep up the great vlogs.
Here's a crazy question, and definitely food for crazy thought; why is the world do legal American citizens have to go through legal means to get back into our own country, but anyone else, meaning non-Americans can just casually walk across the border with no checks whatsoever??? How is that possible? Why is this going on? What the heck is going on?? WOW, just WOW!
I think you're going to like watching the race and especially the outcome :)
I think we got a lecture for leaving comments. Not sure.
Don't believe I could put up with the grief as long as Eric did.
Again, life is a series of adjustments.
Hey Eric, live your life as you want to. Don't worry about other's opinions of how you should live.
No, between Mexico and Arizona (where my Airbnb was)
Sweet Airbnb. I love Jax in your outro. Missed Tara and Opie on this video.
How come you need a passport to get back into America? We have 10 million people who just walked right in and got free everything.
Was thinking the exact same!
😂😂😂😢
LOOK AT THAT GORGEOUS WALL... You could have gone to a whole in the wall got thru alot faster.... haha..
Did he get his tags yet or will he wait to the last minute like normal.
IM GLAD YOUR HAVING A GREAT DAY ERIC
Oh my goodness. Ok please share info on this air b and b.
What a nice place.
That was a good visit in Mexico. Food looked yummy.
Looks like time to replace the cycle air filter.
I was thinking the exact same thing !! 😂 a nice K&N would do just fine there 😊
I'll see you poolside. What a beautiful place! Enjoy Eric.
Love being spontaneous!
Eric, you're alot braver the me eating and drinking in Mexico.
Los Algodones is no dirtier or scarier than any US city. They cater to tourists.
I don't get why people think the country has bands of drug dealers around every corner.
@@mouseboots46 yes the police are pretty heavy there because they want to keep crime down to keep Americans coming.
@@mouseboots46 I think they were referring to getting a stomach bug from the food or drink............ not bandidos. 🤦🏼♀️
Dude I am not a Harley owner but when I saw the Harley shop in Budapest, Hungary, I bought a danged Harley shirt!
That pool and grill are frickin' awesome! Living da life, fer sure! Enjoy ;)
🇺🇸Hey, Eric&Kiitys; Yes, your kat, Jax, needs, to be in the intro. He's, in Heaven, with Our Heavenly Father, ready, to jump into your arms.GODBless
I'm always hoping and praying that you and the kitties are well and safe. God Bless and best of everything with your new and old financial institutions on from here. ❤
Great video and all I can say is go Byron! 😁
I chuckled when you thought about ordering on Uber, but realized you couldn’t. Nice vlog!
Great Vlog, What a great trip, well done.
I love Los Algodones Mexico been there many many times, I even strayed further into the town in some residential areas and found the friendliest people there. Glad you finally found the guts to break out of the traditional banking prison, 13 years WOW!! I think you did your time. That airbnb was great 👍🏻
😜OMG that’s a very quaint little studio and to sync that large pool is all yours. I am so jealous. I’m turning green find Eric you hit the jackpot.❤
Enjoy be safe Eric ✌️
Your life is just so amazing. Mexico trip Yeeah ha ! Bet your ready to have the new R.V. all sorted out, and get back to your normal routine.
Very nice airb&b man! I enjoyed seeing the walk into and out of Mexico. I've know ppl who've done it for medical and dental appts. So cheap. Good you got all the meds for less and had a lil trip to boot.
That is where we would go in at to get into Mexico when we lived in Phoenix there was a Dentist we went to all the time.
Well, Eric, I bet you got all those prescriptions without having to put in or give them a doctors prescription. That’s the reason I’ve been trying to say over on Instagram that I would not trust just because of that. If you did have a prescription, good for you.
Chimichanga and a margarita sound good to us!
Oh hell yeah! Food always makes me happy!
That's the coolest AB&B ever 😎
$123 per night for that place is a great price. Awesome. Air BnB is the best when traveling
Glad to see you're still together, inspite of everything. Good distraction. Take care.
Hello Eric Tara and Opie happy you are doing the right thing changing Banks thats what happen to us . Hopefully everything will go your way soon so you can start traveling again. That was a cool hotel you were in with a pool. 😊 .. give Tara and Opie a hug 🤗 stay safe out there on the roads Take care God bless you guys 😊 your friends Gerry and Pat from Amarillo Texas. 🚘🚘😻😻🍺🍺🏈🏈
Live your best life king!
Cool air bnb good deal
In regards to the Amoxicyllin, if you go to a pet store you can find fishcyllin, which is not only the exact same medication, it is made on the same machines. They just pour into differently labeled bottles.
Chicken Chimichanga is my go to item at a Mexican restaurant. Looking forward to your excursions when you have the rig ready. My Harley Switchback is tucked away for winter. Riding in a few months! Take care.
Motorcycle 🏍️ riding is therapy In the moment experience 😊 bug eating smile 😃 and catch a 🐞 bug 😋 happy Trails
The same issues with my credit union happened to me my first year on the road. I finally signed up with a second bank to have a backup. I feel your [banking] pain, Eric!
This is a fantastic favorite 🤩 spot thanks
Let’s be honest, they love when you give them American dollars opposed to theirs😂😂😂
I can't believe I have not bumped into you...yet 🙏🙏❣️
Great get away!🤘
I know you use to be able to get them across the border but i’ve always wondered if you can still get the low level benzos and opiates at the pharmacy there? Like some Valium or Xanax. It’s good to have on hand for those high anxiety moments or for insomnia. Also some regular hydrocodone or Percocet. Just like 5-10mg not the strong stuff for emergencies like muscle sprains or back strains. Doctors here won’t hardly prescribe them anymore and I know you use to be able to go across the border for a few of them. Did it look like that was still an option? Seriously curious as i’m not talking about smuggling a whole bunch or anything just a small personal amount.
You forgot to pick me up!
YES KEVIN AND FELIX ARE GREAT CHRISTIAN FRIENDS THEY WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK ERIC GOD BLESS ANNAMAY
From what I've heard, background music is O K now on youtube
Just sneak over. Then you get the welcome wagon of free taxpayer goodies. Plane flights, food, lodging…
Are BnBs cheaper there compared to other places in the US?
Depends. There are a LOT of options. You can rent a room in a shared house for $20/night, or you can rent a private treehouse with a hot tub for $200/night.
A very nice airbnb
Leave b of a open as back up
Thanks for adding Jax back in. Take care.
ENJOY YOUR POOL ERIC
Love the Jax addition! Thanks for sharing your videos
You hit the jackpot on that rental!
See you on the next one. Blessings
Freestyle,free spirit That’s the way brother! 👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Hopefully everything goes well see ya Eric an Tara an Opie hugs always
I smoke Teton Brand Cigarettes. They are a lot cheaper than name brand Cigarettes and I can't tell any difference.
Nice Video! I love the Air BnB!
Thank you for adding Jax to the new intro and ending love it!!!!
