Yes! I got distracted and forgot to look for the store that sells some of her stuff. Oh well, something to go back for, right? We haven’t been to Spanish Wells either, also another reason to return. For this trip, we did an airbnb that was locally owned. Thanks so much for your great feedback.

I would too if we stayed closer to it! Great place.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback.

In peak season, sites need to be booked ahead as it gets fully booked and you pick a specific site location, marked by the wooden platforms. There’s no wildcamping. Oddly enough, one camp was fully booked but when we arrived, there was only 1 other camper. In low season, you could probably just go to the park office and get a spot, you can see the availability online also.

Air Canada flies direct to HNL once a week seasonally, did it a long time ago but we prefer to stop over usually in either Vancouver or San Fran to break up the flight - it's HARD in economy lol. So I'd say it's your choice really as the cost is usually the same. In low season you can get good rates ($650-700 CAD return per person) but flights are getting more expensive these days. We got a free companion ticket with a new CIBC Visa card so you can look into that. Westjet also gives a companion ticket with their RBC Mastercard but I believe you have to a pay partial fee. I have found airlines have the best price 10-11 months ahead of your travel date after which they start to raise prices, then put them on sale for basically the same amount. Use Google flight alerts or Skyscanner to track fares on multiple airlines too.

Glad it was helpful. Have a great time!

Thanks, couldn't agree more!

Haha, worth the long flight to get there (and a great excuse to stay longer!)

I know, right!?! We don’t like crowds but this is one of the few exceptions. Glad you enjoyed it 💜

Yep! Eat, beach, repeat. 🌺Thanks for watching!

Totally agree, love that aloha vibe. Thanks for the support!

haha, and a Starbucks too but much further out.

Thank you so much! 🙏

Only at dusk and dawn - 10/10. But in the day, nada.

Glad you liked it! We met some folks sailing through and they loved the chain of islands - sailors paradise. You should check out ‘An Embarrasment of Mangoes’ book if you haven’t heard of it. Have fun!

That’s amazing! Did you make it to Lighthouse on this trip? Curious what it’s like now. We’re dreaming about Abacos next…

Thanks for this information and what exactly did Disney do? Please share the best places to stay that has everything 🙏

@@stumblebassstumblebass3661 Disney built a large beach complex/cruise ship port in the undeveloped southern tip of the island. It was hotly contested for many reasons including environmental impact but it pushed forward. A couple locals we spoke to were more cautious/wait and see POV on how they contribute to the economy post-construction. As far as places to stay, it all depends on what you are looking for, budget etc. There are no big hotel chains, or all-inclusive and any luxury accommodations have a more understated elegance. For $$$$, you can look at French Leave resort, The Cove, or on Harbour Island which requires a short boat hop and is more contained where everything is close by. Hope that helps!

Your best bet would be in Governor’s Harbor - try Da Perk on the main road, or Bacchus fine foods. I don’t recall any other places as we ate mostly in for breakfast.

Thanks for the great feedback! Do you mean their summer (Dec on) - it may not be open yet for reservations and they close during winter. It is hard to get a hold of someone in the off season but try their whatsapp in a few months or the online booking maybe open then too. Have fun!!!!

I meant summer months in Patagonia. We’re looking at early february. I already messaged them in whatsapp and hoping they would reply. Thanks for answering my queries.

We had the same thought too! Our Waikiki video should be coming out soon so hopefully you’ll enjoy that as well 🤙 ❤️

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for taking the time to give us some feedback. 🤙

Glad we could take you there virtually and that you enjoyed it. Appreciate your support!!

Glad you noticed! We were pretty happy with that footage, the waves are mesmerizing to watch. Dreaming up other places to discover too. Thanks so much for the comment.

Thanks for the comment and support!

Oh you’re right, it was very cool at night in February so it wasn’t top of mind but I would agree it’s a deal breaker when looking for accommodations. We’ll pin this for others to read. Thanks so much for your comment.

Then you’re going to love it there! September is probably even quieter. Stop by All Things Molokai in town if you can, Dave the owner has a great perspective on the island and is the go-to guy if you want to do anything. Enjoy!

Thanks! We're happy that we finally got to see Molokai, it's been on Karen's list for a while. Appreciate all your support!

We haven’t been to St Barts but you get a french flair on both!

@@YYZWanderers why not

@@CCCC-tq8yo One day we will! Planning to add either St B and/or Anguilla on our next visit. Let us know where you decide to go!

That's how we roll, thanks for your support on the channel, much appreciated!

It sure is! 🌴 🏖️ 🏝️

What a nice thing to say! Living the dream, as they say but it takes a lot of planning and budgeting choices in general to do these trips but I (Karen) enjoy the challenge. Dave is the camera guy so it’s a good balance. And definitely grateful that we can do these trips!

We were able to visit the Queens Baths but the pools weren’t filled much on the day we were there. Maybe next time!

Depends…if you have to take 2 planes to get to Nassau, a couple days there might be a nice stop enroute to Eleuthera. If you are looking for a couple days of busier beach experience, more nightlife etc then that’s Nassau. We haven’t been there in quite a few years so can’t speak to how it is now, other than government travel advisories for it on crime levels which can be avoided eg don’t stay out late in town, don’t wander down dark alleys, the usual. Eleuthera on the other hand is super quiet but if you like searching out beaches, getting away from crowds, then you won’t be bored. You can enjoy both if you have the time. If you have just a week, may not be worth splitting it up. Food for thought to help you decide.

Everytime we go to Hawaii, there’s so much to see and do but we’re learning to not pack the agenda too full because then we’ll have more reasons to go back! Thanks and aloha!

Good to hear! Appreciate the feedback.

Glad it was helpful, have a wonderful trip!

The waves are mesmerizing and you could feel the energy coming off the ocean. Mother nature in all her glory! Thanks for the comment 🤙

Hawaii is so different for sure. Of course, we would love to hike in Nepal one day to see the mountain peaks.

That’s wonderful! The fruit farms in the north will have lots more hopefully and the ocean will be a little calmer in the north. Enjoy your trip and thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for the pronunciations! We hit up Aoki’s, it was ok. Kaimana was closed when we passed by but it looked cute from the outside. Aloha!

Can’t get enough of that place!

You’ll have to probably take a boat out because there aren’t any coral reefs close to shore. On the calm side, it’s mostly sandy bottom. There’s little fish here and there but not a lot. Rainbow beach has some rocky ledges at either end of the beach & easily accessible. Twin beach has a rocky area too for fish activity. Gaulding’s Cay at high tide around the little island. Waves are strong on the Atlantic side so didn’t see anyone snorkelling on those.

Glad you enjoyed it! Love your handle name 😆

@@YYZWanderers 😂🤣

Yes, as almost everything is imported, both restaurants and groceries are expensive especially for us when converted to Canadian $. Eg a can of ordinary spaghetti sauce of questionable expiry date can be $6-10 USD (ack!) We ate out for some lunches, average $50 for 2. Fish fry is fun, $25 for a fish dinner. Local fishermen can be a good option for fresh fish but we never made it at the right time. I heard on a facebook group that many folks pack their groceries. Some basics would be good to take if you have a kitchen. Beer is reasonable, about $4-5 a bottle at the liquor store - best one is in the Rock Sound plaza where the best grocery is also located but a long way to go if you’re not staying there. Didn’t make it out to dinners as we weren’t inclined to drive at night and none were close by.

Glad to hear it was helpful! We paid for the boat tour online with a US credit card as I wanted to make sure we had it reserved. The local bus to the Tierra del Fuego park was paid in pesos. To get to Chile from Ushuaia, we booked Bus Sur to Punta Arenas online. They make stops at a bakery, at the border crossings, on the ferry, all of which had clean toilets. They also give you a sandwich, drink& dessert from the bakery. It went by relatively quickly as there were the stops to break it up. Have fun!

We were there in the summer when this video was taken, the clouds look like they’re going to pour rain but for this 2 wk trip, it only rained once and cleared up quickly. And yes, the east coast (windward side) is windy. June-Oct/Nov is the hurricane season in the Caribbean as well. It is generally a dry (vs lush) island, they don’t grow a lot of produce etc.

Oh wow! Thanks so much for your kind words and support! Congrats on your marriage and enjoy the honeymoon! 🥂

Didn’t know that Puerto Williams was changed to a city status, even with a population of less than 3,000 people. The marketing folks in Ushuaia certainly made use of ‘el fin del mundo’. To your point, we do reference in the voiceover that PW is truly and more accurately the southernmost inhabited place on earth. Thanks for your feedback!
