A Birthday Trip to Puerto Vallarta
มุมมอง 5810 หลายเดือนก่อน
This was fun to put together. I found some old footage from our first GoPro (Hero 4) when we traveled with the family to Puerto Vallarta in July of 2017. Our youngest son was 10 years old at the time and (literally) filmed about 8 hours of himself jumping into the pool. Gotta love kids when they are that age! Please don't judge... this footage was a complete experiment! :) CREDITS: Song: Fredji...
Scuba Diving in Honduras
มุมมอง 12511 หลายเดือนก่อน
Our first dive trip to Honduras to really get our passion for scuba diving started. We stayed at Anthony's Key Resort and finished 20 dives during our 7-day stay. The reef was in good shape with lots of fish and beautiful coral. Our top dives were the Odyssey and El Aquila Wrecks, Mary's Place (by far) and the West End Wall (If I must choose another). We would go back in a heartbeat. Enjoy! Son...

The Amalfi Coast, Rome and Tivoli With My Family
Excellent and inspirational videos. However, wanted to ask what happened to the plane? Why did you decide to sell it back?
We brokered with Mike to sell it for us but he is trying to buy it back himself if he can gather partners. We love that little plane and had great fun for a couple years and bought it to teach our son to fly and now our life path is changing, so we are selling. :)
I grew up in Bryan and learned to fly at Williams County in high school. Our family Grumman Tiger was kept in the old T-hangars in your background shot. Ohio Art owned the big hangar closest to the runway. My father flew for Aro Corporation and I grew up on airport after school. You'll find my dad at the third rail watching trains weekends in the summer.
Such a small world, I (Jenn) grew up in Edgerton, but my parents now live in Bryan. I still have lots of childhood friends and family that live in the area.
@@thebaconsexplore My parents moved to the Dayton area but many of my friends are still in Bryan as well
I love this!!!!!
Thanks Molly! Thought you would! ;)
Thanks for sharing! I ordered my sling TSi and this time next year I may do that trip🙌
Have fun! Its an amazing trip and you will love it!
Awesomeness
I remember seeing that parked at KEIK for a while. Sweet airplanes
Read story worthy helped ,me with story telling Thumbnails look good Camera on y’all talking is good as every aviation channel has the outside footage that is b roll as their a roll Audio is clear Your off to a solid start
Thanks for the detailed feedback, very much appreciated. Will check out Story Worthy, thanks for the tip! Happy flying!
So you are the new owners of MojoGrip's TSi - happy flying!!
Awesome
😊
Love your videos and how you can fly backwards. Welcome to Georgia.
Awesomeness
Thanks!! :)
I noticed you’re flying Mojo’s Sling. I didn’t realize he sold it. Any idea why?
Yeah, we love it! I think he was focusing on building his flight school? Not 100% sure though.
How do you like those lifevests? Recommended?
They worked great for the purpose. Not too bulky.
When my TSi is done and past Phase 1 (just a few more weeks), Bahamas are high on my list!
Congrats on your TSi, very exciting! We highly recommend the Bahamas. Well worth the trip!
Loving seeing the places we’ve been by boat! Perhaps the coolest thing about little farmers cay is that it’s a former slave settled island. Chrisanna Nixon and her sons bought the island from the English Crown when slavery was abolished in the 1830’s and willed it to their descendants as generational property. This means that only descendants from this family can settle on the cay. It’s one of the true “family islands” in the Bahamas.
That's super special, thanks for sharing! Mindy mentioned they welcomed you into their holiday festivities while you were there. So cool!
Super wonderful people, in the Bahamas!
Awesome plane and very enjoyable video! Thanks for posting. Wayne (DA40 KSBA) (just as an aside: how come no shoulder harness in the left seat?)
Hey Wayne, thanks for watching! And you are absolutely right... Most of the time, Dave tucks his harness under his arm as it's a super-tight space for him! I'll put him in a time out! ;)
@@thebaconsexplore, 😀good that Dave has the lap belt portion on... but any aircraft panel (including a Sling TSi for which I have ~50 hours) is a pretty bad thing to bang one's head on. I find that a colored shirt (or sheepskin sleeve) also helps, to not have the shoulder belt cut into your neck. Enjoy that great aircraft!
Epic adventure! FYI, if you want to fill up with MOGAS on your way back home, stop off at 23M. I know your Rotax engine loves to burn it. 23M a little rural airport just south of Meridian. Friendly people and an easy stop off for a fuel. I burn MOGAS in my RV-6, and I always try to stop in and fuel up anywhere that sells it to give them some business and to say thank you for offering it. Fly safe and have fun! 😎👍
Thanks for the tip! It's a bit hard to find MOGAS, will take it where we can and love supporting local! Thanks for watching!
You got MojoGrip's Sling! Nice!
Thanks, we sure did! :)
@@thebaconsexplore Enjoy it! Looking forward to following more of your adventures.
Awesomeness 👌
