    • @michellewatson4843
      @michellewatson4843 2 роки тому

      That’s exactly what I thought, I loved what they showed, but couldn’t believe that they didn’t come south at all, time constraints I guess.
      Plus it seemed weird to go from the northwest, to the east coast, then across to the west, then back to the north east if that’s the actual order they went. Unless it was because of availability of the WCR etc., otherwise they could have fitted a trip south in there.

    • @flyingthenest
      @flyingthenest  2 роки тому +1

      We did spend 10 days here but yes we were a bit time constrained coming during Easter holidays we were actually lucky to be able to even get Cooper on the Spirit as the issue was trying to get him back! If we didn’t get the spot we had we would’ve had to wait till end of May to leave which was a bit too long!!
