When our kids were grown, we were hit with the desire to see the world. We knew that our experience wasn't unique, so we wanted to document our adventures to help first timers have amazing vacation.

When you go on your princess cruise - be sure to try Sabatini's. They have an appetizer called Arancini - sounds like the same thing. deep fried rice and meat
This looked like a really fun day out and seeing those props certainly brought back a lot of memories!
It was a lot of fun!
Photoshop magic!!! 😊 but did you get a coffee?
No photoshop involved! (except the picture frame) And no, I don't drink coffee. (I was told it stunts your growth)
@@EscapingtheEmptyNest a cup or two at 15 may have made flying a bit more comfortable later in life 😉

Yikes! The close ups of you two eating and your mouths stuffed with food are offensive.
I haven’t even heard of suppli, but it looks good. I do think I’d prefer the cheese pull variety! 😊
It's so good!
Watching replay
Yay we love that hotel, and also the Aloft nearby! Derek and I used to live around the corner from it on Crescent Street! We remember watching that Hyatt Place get built, haha 😆
A NYC hidden gem! Thanks for watching Liz!
Observation Deck at Independence Wharf seems temporarily closed. Not sure when it will reopen.
Bummer, thanks for the info
That’s on our list! Looks fun.
LOL...Look at you, Mr. Mark-goo"😊
😊❤Well,that was a fun reminder of the Niagara Falls experience I had as a kid. I think I'll call my mom to thank her again for all the great vacations we took.
8:43 minutes video. But i feel like 2 minutes. I enjoyed. Hope you guys too. 🤟
You didn't reacted on my comment 😭
@Venomvenomvenomvenom12935 it didn't come up until right now! Thanks for the compliment glad you enjoyed it
@@EscapingtheEmptyNest oh didn't know that. 🙂👍
The foam blizzard at 5:20 😂😂
This hotel is now about $159 in November 2024. So a lot more expensive than before, but still the cheapest in this area. I think the 1 star rating is not really accurate. I think it's at least 2. There's some 2 or 3 star hotels that looks worst than this place and charges $250. Some of us only want a room with a clean bed, hot shower and no bugs. We don't stay in the room a whole lot. THere's no point paying for the amenities if you don't use them.
Even at 159 it's still a bargain. Is that with the discount for staying more than 5 days?
And what about the iris at the airport next to the airport
Can't speak on that one, but I wouldn't want to commute from the airport for tourist stuff every day
Great video! Thank you for all the great information and tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Haha i like the blooper 🤟😂
Great video thnx
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice side trip! The Caribbean has some great beer :) but is lacking for pastries. :(
We use it only because my son has autism and helps with lines
Understandable!
This is wholesomeness. The whole idea of your channel! Thank you for the video, I was looking to see what an experience like this would be!
We loved the time we got a regular balcony... We were on level 10 and it was so relaxing to sit out and read - very little noise and I didn't find it hot, even in April. Maybe I would like cove balcony too, not sure.
I really like it. It's peaceful and quiet. Sometimes I fall asleep outside while reading!
So guess can sit out there in your boxers I. The morning
Oh yesssss....If I ever go on another cruise, I'm all about a Cove Balcony...for the same reasons Terry stated.
Love me balcony! ❤❤
We love cove balconies too
Tahnks! How can I get from Paris to Normandy and then to Omaha?
you could rent a car, but we decided to just take the tour.
@@EscapingtheEmptyNest Thanks! I see Overlord does not have Trains From Paris to Normandy right
You but the train tickets from Paris to Bayeux from the French train service, SNCF
So excited! We are getting to experience one next week
Hope you enjoy it!
Is the pricing better than being on a higher deck with a balcony? Just returned from a cruise on the Conquest, deck 6 with a balcony.
Yes, coves are usually a bit cheaper
Do you feel more rocking and waves on those floors?
Less! The lower decks and far more calm, especially in the middle.
Excited to experience one on the Venezia in May. We were also on Deck 2 our 1st time in the Venezia, and you're so right about being so close to dining, the theater, etc.
I really love the convenience of not having to fight the elevator traffic coming down from the higher decks when we eat in the MDR. - Terry
Awesome review! The MD80/Super 80 used to have this layout, but were phased out over the years as they depreciated, Boeing bought out McDonnell Douglas, and Airbus stepped up with the A319/320 series. As soon as I heard about the A220, I was itching for Delta to expand the fleet. I’m just shy of 6’, but with all the height in my legs, I could never drive a Mazda Miata with the top up. That left me using the 737 Max in Economy Plus / Comfort Plus as my option. Glad the A220 is widely growing, so I don’t have to worry about DB Coopering it out of a Boeing product.
I just watched your video I was thinking of back packing thru Normandy is this a smart idea can I stay there and get overnight lodging thanks
Oh sure there are lots of hotels and cottage lodging
@@EscapingtheEmptyNest I will be doing this alone I’ve never been there before on foot seems better because I am not in a rush to return to Paris . Is this a ok move
@bethbevilacqua3268 I'm afraid I'm not an expert on backpacking through France, so I hate to give advice on that part of travel, sorry

Ohhh yayyy, it sounds like you got a new subscriber at the end. 🎉
Once again, great info for travelers. Everyone who enjoys cruising should subscribe to your channel. ❤
Now I want to go on a cruise for our 25th Anniversary…..
Our first one was for our 20th. Let me know if you have any questions.
It’s never too early for Christmas shopping! 👍
Looks good to me 😍
I also have had issues the pillows
So did Mark have issues with the shower. A hotel that I stayed in Munich the shower was a bit tight.
Just in every hotel in Europe
big Guys 😜 😜
re-watched...just Gorgeous, GORGEOUS GORGEOUS!!!!
Re-watching another one of my favorites.
I had to return to re-watch this video. It's one of my favorites. 🥰
LOL Why does Mark look like he's about to cry after tasting the brisket?
Tears of joy
So many videos show just how many places are "Not "Mark Finley friendly" . I'm glad you are still able to enjoy your adventures and take fun videos for us. 😁
LOL...funny blooper
I love the Mark's face lights up when he says, "I found my drink". Even better is when we find out what it is. 😁
4:10 Wait, what kind of wine? It sounded like you said, "Glue". Glute? Gute?
