I really loved your video, to the point and exactly what I wanted. I didn't have to see 15 mins of family drama before getting to the point. Very well done.

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Thanks so much! Glad you loved the video. We appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch. Where are you tuning in from?

[@reetomh]

I am from San Francisco Bay Area. We are headed to Alaska for 2 weeks starting next week :)

[@littlebit725]

Some incredible footage! You weren't kidding about the blue glaciers. So interesting to see!
It is great that you were able to make a recreation of the whale breaching. Hopefully it was just fun and majestic to see real life.
Looking forward to the next video!

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Thanks, mark! One of our favorite videos so far. So hard to not include everything we have captured. Glad you enjoyed it as much as we did.
It’s like we sneezed and missed capturing the whale breaching. Next time! Haha the whale breaching footage is as good as we can do for you all 😆 Cheers!

Wow. Amazing video. Thanks for sharing with us.
Do stay connected friends😊

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Thanks for watching!! Of course! Love your walking travel videos 🤙🏽

[@ashleygauvin4493]

Great video! Loved it all!

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Thanks, Ashley! ☺️ Glad you enjoyed it

[@pennythepooh528]

Another great video!! I loved that you saw all the wildlife, especially the puffins. Are the glaciers really that blue? They look really neat. Watching whales breach is tremendous. I went to San Ignacio Bay in Baja California when I was in college and we saw Gray Whales breach. It was so cool. Looks like a great trip even with the hassles you had. Can't wait to see your next adventure!!

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Thank you! We were so shocked how much wildlife there were. Thee glaciers are that blue depending on lighting. Apparently clouds, sun, and blue skys and change the colors to make them more blue.
So cool you had great whale watching experiences. We hope to catch something like that in oregon. Watching them in Baja must have been amazing! Yes, despite the hassle, we had a good time ☺️ managing stress on trips seems less daunting when back home for some reason

[@vernvartdal6479]

I liked the Glaciers and the Puffins.

[@HelenandTimTravel]

The puffins were our favorite! Wish we had a zoom lens though 😅 The glaciers were majestic!!

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing. Seeing Alaska is my entire "Bucket list". Would please advise what month you were there.

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Hello Mike! Thanks for watching. Alaska is stunning. We have a 10 things to do in Anchorage video if you’re wanting to get more ideas. We we in Alaska mid august last year. We heard June and July are the best months. We went later so the mountains would be snow free

[@MrRikkiRocket]

Thanks for the video - very helpful! When we were planning our AK vacation your video popped up for us on UA-cam - the infamous YT algorithm is working for you! I also checked out your website, the “Our Story” page filled in the background gaps for me. Please consider doing a more personal/detailed video about your background to attract more subscribers and current fans would ❤ it. Everyone loves a good story 😊 With Love, Rikki

[@HelenandTimTravel]

You’re welcome! Glad you found our video and it helped with your Alaska planning. You’re going to have a great time. Thanks for the suggestion on the video. Think you’re right…we need to do a video that talks about our story that’s longer than a couple min trailer. Appreciate you taking the time to write this ☺️ We look forward to connecting more in the future.

[@SharonLynn07]

I bought the tickets for the same tour last week for August and your videos popped on my YT feeds..what a coincidence :D. I have question tho..what was the temperature when you guys went there? Thank you. Very nice video btw. I enjoyed it other than the Airbnb problem..sorry for that.

[@HelenandTimTravel]

So awesome to hear that! You’re going to have a blast. It was one of our highlights. It was around 50 to 60 when we were there but on the boat it is a bit chillier with the wind especially if you’re outside. Feels like high 40s to low 50s. Glad you enjoyed the video! Have a blast and let us know if you have any other questions

[@RachelleBeebe-zf9do]

We have this booked for august. Did they offer the margarita with glacier ice?? 😃

[@HelenandTimTravel]

They did when we were there 😎 you will have a great time!

[@taradixon]

Your airbnb got broken into???? Wow so sorry that happened to you. Would you say it's a dangerous area? I wonder if that happens often or they target tourists? Maybe they targeted you because of your out of state plate? Sorry to ask so many questions, it' just I am planning on visiting

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Yeah, it was an unfortunate event. think Overall impression at least near downtown where we stayed it wasn’t a dangerous area, but we have heard there are some sketchier parts like most major cities. We felt like it was a newer Airbnb listing and they had waited until the owners upstairs (this was a downstairs street level apartment) part of a house. They waited until they were gone one weekend. We rented a car locally so we had Alaska plates. Definitely rent or stay in a place with external security cameras. We never stay anywhere street level any longer unless there is a secure external gate. Definitely hide or take your valuables with you when you leave.

[@eprohoda]

how are you?,super recoridng. Helen~ )

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Great! Thanks for watching 🤙🏽 Hope you are well!

[@judygruenfelder1775]

Was the water choppy? I am worry to get sea sick.

[@HelenandTimTravel]

It was in the areas with more open water. One of our parents took Dramamine before getting on because she was afraid of getting sea sick. Also, sitting outside helps too plus you can see the beautiful scenery easier. Sitting inside seemed way more rocky.

[@Naser_Gharbeen]

Nice vid , which month was it ?

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Thanks! We visited in mid August last year

[@seand5517]

Did anyone on the boat at all get seasick?

[@HelenandTimTravel]

Did seem like a few people were, but they ended up going outside to get some fresh air. We brought motion sickness pills just in case, but didn’t end up taking it.

[@parissar3905]

Great video. did you drive back the same day or stay in Seward?

[@HelenandTimTravel]

We drove out the same day and then drove back. It was quite a long day but worth it. Thanks for watching 😀 let us know if you have any other questions

[@parissar3905]

Thank you for your repose. Trying to figure out if we want to do the Kenai cruise after being on a 7 day cruise from Vancouver to Whittier and if it'll be a different experience! Decisions, decisions 🙂@@HelenandTimTravel

[@HelenandTimTravel]

@@parissar3905 Tough decisions for sure! Sounds amazing you are going to be on an Alaskan cruise. Would love to do one someday :) This Kenai Fjords boat tour is still hands down one of our favorite things we have ever done on a trip and our parents loved it too.

[@parissar3905]

what time did you leave Anchorage? assuming it was an 11 or 11:30 cruise? @@HelenandTimTravel

[@HelenandTimTravel]

We did the 11:30 am cruise since we knew we needed to make the 2.5-hour drive from Anchorage. We left around 7:30 am to account for the rain and traffic. We wanted to get on the boat early and they recommend arriving an hour early so we could snag a seat too@@parissar3905

[@Seattle_Wayne]

I've never stayed at an AirBnB and I'm not sure how much you and Tim do, either, but I've heard rumor that they are more susceptible to break-ins because your information is there and they may have an idea of who you are. Lots of UA-camrs get targeted because we haul around a lot of equipment. Sorry this happened but glad it did to ruin your trip!

[@HelenandTimTravel]

We mix up our stay often with Airbnb, bed and breakfast, and hotels. But we are in tents often haha 😆 We are pretty certain the person who stole targeted us because they knew it was an Airbnb and likely have been tracking this place for awhile. It was the first break in for the owners who live on site and they happen to be out of town the same weekend the person broke in. We will be sharing more on our next video. Our laptop pinged to a residential area about 20 mins away in a sketchy neighborhood. But we never recovered our stuff when the police attempted to try and get in. It didn’t ruin our trip, but still a big bummer!
Thanks for watching ☺️
