great stuff…..thanks for sharing
@@30AndAWakeUp you’e very kind, thank you.
Are the DC Gems accross from you?
Yes they are.
Really enjoyed the video Michael!
@@PhilipCleary-o7k thank you Philip.
Outstanding !Michael!
@@jonathanstirling7167 hi Jonathan, thank you!
Another wonderfully atmospheric video. Nice!
@@ianpuckrin9878 thank you Ian
Ahhhhhh. So beautiful and relaxing. Great video❤
Thank you Linda.
Beautiful photography. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment Luke.
I'm really enjoying your videos! I like the shorter length and that you use Google Earth.
Thank you Diane. Sometimes I have to balance between getting one more port in and video length. But I do try for shorter, if for no other reason than my future video viewing.
Great video
@@mariasant7810 thanks Maria.
Very nice Michael!
@@jonathanstirling7167 thanks Jonathan.
Amazing video! I loved it!
@@valerijohnson2839 thank you Valeri.
I ead the credits, your own music. Very talented, and no copyright issues
@@JimBoNJ1 the opening is my music, the Spanish guitar, Arabic music and are not. Depending on whether or not I can find music that suits my mood determines whether or not I write and use my own music. Thank you for reading the credits. Note that in Segment 2, Part 5 our Ocean Miles finally pass our airline miles :)
great video editing work and showing your wife painting was cool addition. It looks like you are enjoying everything and not rushing around
Good observation Jim, yes we're taking a long term view about what and how much to see. There's always tomorrow and the next visit.
Thank you so much!
Are you kidding me?!?! You two are such amazing artists! Michael, your videography is beyond compare! 😮 And Cheri, your line and wash paintings are masterful! 😊 How I wish I could be there with you. 😢Thank you so much for producing and sharing these adventures with me. 😍 Linda
@@LindaSquier-h6u thank you so much Linda, you’re very kind.
Thank you for your enthusiastic encouragement!
Loved seeing the sketches!! Thanks for posting!
Thank you!
@@jayirwin Thank you!
Those cabins with limited outlook will get so cotraphobic after just one week for me. It would be go big or not at all. Love my alone time but not always in such confined spaces. 😢😢😢 Enjoy though if your happy that's all that matter's
Thanks for sharing! I love the monkeys, and the Sky Walk looks both exciting and a bit scary. Your paintings are fantastic!
@@ladywalker26 thank you!
What's the status on the reverse osmosis?
Very Nice Michael, Say hi to your bride….
@@jonathanstirling7167 thank you Jonathan, say hi to Natalia.
Excellent video, I enjoyed watching it, thank you for sharing it
@@liz.morgan thank you liz.
I loved your video!!! I follow a few other VV vloggers and I by far enjoy your videos the best!!! I know how much work goes into to making them and I so appreciate it! Keep em coming! Oh, by the way, my name is Cherri also!
@@cherrigray thank you Cherri!
Loved the Plaza! What art and architecture! But Tangier is the kind of intriguing maze I’d love to wander in. Thanks again for sharing.😊
@@LindaSquier-h6u thanks Linda, the Plaza in Seville and Medina in Tangier are certainly special.
Amazing video and truly a work of art worthy of showing at Cannes.
@@johnmartin4246 thank you.
Great videography. I like how concise and how it doesn’t look like it detracted from your exploration and sketching. Thanks for sharing
@@DennisMcNally-j6y thank you Dennis.
Hi New subscriber...looking forward to following your adventure 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@roamer1588 thank you very much!
I'm confused as to why you switched from an unobstructed oceanview cabin to a fully obstructed one. Location? Size? Please inform.
@@neresq Price. The monthly maintenance is the same but the cabin price is much higher. Thanks for noticing! BTW we looked at and measured 6 cabins. All were close, but always off by inches. This one is 10” deeper. Believe it or not, it makes a difference.
@@believesailing Yes, in a small cruise cabin, 10 inches can make a huge difference. And paying a lower purchase price is certainly a good thing. Also, even with the lifeboat, you will know day from night, get the natural light and sunshine, and be able to peak out. Fun, safe sailing...
@@neresq yep, you get it :)
So well done. I enjoyed seeing all that you photographed as well as the commentary. The sketches are wonderful. I’m subscribed and looking forward to seeing more of your travels. 🎉
Thank you Barbara. The photographs and sketches are all Cheri :)
Thank you!
Great video, and even better sketches! Please keep posting.
Thanks Dennis.
This is Cheri - thanks for the compliment on my sketches!
Love the mapping of the ships journey !! For geographly challenged people like myself this is GREAT !!
I'm the same. I'd watch travel videos in which the host would say "I'm in Bora Bora", so then my mind has to do the geographical math. I'm a visual person, so Google Earth is a great help.
Simply put - excellent videography! Thank you so much for taking me along on your blessed journey 😊
Thank you LInda, we're very fortunate.
The cabins look so basic I thought this was a luxury style ship , to live on in style
So you're either a troll, have thoughts in your head without basis or are looking at the wrong ship. The Villa Vie website FOCUSES on community, travel, relaxation, leisure, culture, hobbies, activities, golf (blah, I play PIckleball), giving back and more - not luxury. We lived on a sailboat for 7 years and then Ecuador for 10 years - we're not needing nor looking for luxury, we're looking for travel and life experiences. You need to go to The World ship page and look at and comment on their videos.
Oh my, looks like the fun is coming fast and furious now. Absolutely amazing video - I loved seeing all of Cheri's watercolors. Can't wait for more.
@@gloriariemer273 thanks Gloria.
Thanks, Gloria!
I really enjoy your videos. How you put together and edit is very unique. Cheri's water color paintings are impressive. Gail from Texas.
@@GailTX-123 thank you Gail.
Thank you!
Great video, and love the Spanish guitar music 😊
Thank you. I looked at some Portuguese, but I really liked the feel of the Spanish guitar. Plus it had beats that I could time my pictures and videos to, instead of doing a transition.
Cadiz and Lisbon, two of my favourite cities. Thank you.
In the past we've only done Lisbon as an excursion, therefore we're dropped right at the sites. It was new and refreshing to use public transportation and walk to the sites and see all the interesting places around them.
Your videos are very artistic and the turnaround time is fast. Your intro reminds me of the intro to TV series called Shakespeare and Hathaway. I love seeing the artwork of the sites you have visited what a great way to remember a place. Looking forward to seeing your future adventures.
Thank you Donna. Yes, its all about experiences now and the artwork, architecture, sights, sounds and even smells are part of the experience. For example, the beauty of the Plaza de España today in Seville (despite the rain) was wonderful.
Did you sleep on the ship when it was in Belfast?
For reasons of insurance we were not allowed to sleep on the ship until she passed her safety inspections.
@@believesailing You said 39 nights on the ship. They didn't leave Belfast until September 30th right? That's not 39 days
Bravo !! Love the watercolors!!
@@rebeccahowell6538my guess is that’s including cruises they took while waiting for the Odyssey to be ready, so 39 nights on (any) ship as opposed to in a hotel
@@rebeccahowell6538”Nights on (a) ship”. We did a transAtlantic on the QM2 to from New York to Southhamton at the start in May and 2 cruises while waiting for the Odyssey to be ready. If you're interested, I made videos of these other cruises in my '2024 Villa Vie Journey' Playlist. Queen Mary 2 in Segment 1 Part 1, P&O Iona in Segment 1 Part 2 and MSC Orchestra in Segment 1 Part 7. Thank you for reading the credits!!
Love your artistic , creative videos❤️
Thank you Maria.
I enjoyed your video and am so happy for you two to be on this huge adventure !!
Thank you Barb.
Hi! New sub here! I found Midlife Cruising first (by accident lol) and I love Steve and Angela!! And today I popped up on my fy page! So I like that there is a difference in between yall. I love the way u edited this (very talented) and showed a lot of things! And I also love watching Steve and Angela talk to us on a more personal level! So together now I can really feel like I’m living vicariously through through y’all!! I’m in Florida cleaning up after Milton tried to take us out! But just damages, we r all ok! So I will cruise along with u all and just wish I was there!! lol! Enjoy!!!
I love that you are painting watercolors when you travel!
@@robertvanover8378 It’s a good way for me to capture the memories of a place and time!
I found your channel after being recommended by Vlogger Backroads Tourist. I’m really enjoying your artistic videos with great music. I already follow two other couples who are onboard VVR and am enjoying travelling vicariously with you all. Thank you.
@@Cinnamon52 thank you. I checked out his channel and subscribed. He's was very kind.
WOW! Nicely done folks. Great to see a video of this Oydessy without all the annoying chatter and cheesiness of some of the other YTers. Classy, informative and a joy to watch. Please keep it coming!
@@DWViking-c6n thank you!
Very nice! Thank you for sharing your adventures with us😊.
Thank you for viewing
Hi guys just joined your vlogs, great fun, though would love to know more about you as well. 7 years on a sail boat, gosh you are adventurous and the painting diary is beautiful. I know my email says Graham, but sadly he died in May this year, so it’s tough for me at the moment, after 54 years together. So enjoy good health and times together , they’re precious. God bless Joan
Hi Joan, we're sorry for your loss. We'll be married 42 years this coming February. We retired onto a sailboat in Annapolis, Maryland in 2006. We lived on her, Believe (hence the TH-cam account name), for 7 years then visited Ecuador to escape hurricane season. After visiting for two years we decided it was time for another chapter and moved to Cuenca, Ecuador in 2013 and lived there for 10 years. It took something like Villa Vie to convince us that it was time for another chapter and now here we are.
Great video, will enjoy seeing more videos of your adventure. Love the music and the written information. Enjoy your journey.
Thank you!
I always enjoy the artistry of your videos! Unique and fun to watch. Bilbao looks walkable and beautiful!
Thank you. Bilbao was a pleasant surprise, walkable but also great/cheap public transportation - $8.83USD for 2 people/2 days.
@@believesailing I’ll have to look more into that spot. Thanks!
love the sketch enjoy your journey
Thank you!
Love your approach to this amazing adventure. Beautiful opening and takes. Thank you
Thank you!
Michael- LOVE the animation--too cool. What subscription do you get your ABBA music and Mammas & Pappas songs from. I have a friend that might like to use those vibes in her channel. Will definitely view some of your back episodes. Happy waves!
Thank you Stacia, I transferred most of my music from CDs to MP3 files and use those.
@@believesailing Oh, I thought you had to obtain copyrighted music from a service for sale (owner permission) to use on You Tube. My friend is always looking for new service sites (low cost) to get famous music from.
@@Stacia-ep9vr During upload, TH-cam does a scan for copywrighted music and gives a warning. In most cases the music can be used but then the channel cannot be monetized, which I don't want to do. In other cases the music is blocked in some countries so the uploader is given the choice of silence during that part or replacing.
@@believesailing Much thanks for the info.
