Hi friends! Welcome back to a little travel video from my recent trip to the Pacific Northwest 🥰 this has definitely been the most time consuming video to create so I really hope you enjoy it! Two weeks later and I am still dreaming of those GORGEOUS Pacific Ocean beaches. If you're from the area, let us know where else you'd suggest visiting! ♥
Hi Gail, you are so right about traveling alone! As a newly divorced 50th woman, I began to first learn to eat in restaurants alone, then I took a giant leap and booked a weekend in LasVegas to see BonJovi concert. So much fun! So very empowering for a middle aged woman who was rebuilding confidence. I took several other weekend trips alone.The big one was to Scotland where. Did meet up with friends, traveled with them for a few days, anfd then finished up by myself again. Wonderful! I’ve also driven cross country several times to visit family & friends- I like taking a car since I’m not limited on luggage, comforts, etc. Thank you for your videos- I still haven’t been to NYC!

I loved reading this! Thank you for sharing your stories and experiences -- and heck yeah - I LOVE Scotland!! Thank you for being here and hopefully you get to visit NYC soon! 🫶
Good for you to embark on solo travel. I was born in NYC, but have lived all over the US. Now, for the past 16 years , I live (and will die) in the PNW. You truly caught the essence of the beauty of this special place. Oregon’s coastline is spectacular, we have lots of wonderful memories there. Each day I’m more than grateful to be here. Thanks for sharing your trip!!!
That was just an amazing video, so well done Gail. Editing, photography & of course the beauty of the PNW. Wonderful getaway, thank you so much for sharing. ☔️🪨 🌊🌿🍃🌱
Oh my gosh, this was such an amazing video! I watched it twice! Your film making skills are SUPERB! I am so thrilled you had a fabulous time and so happy for you to be so blessed that you were with your dear , precious friend! ❤ l go to Seattle all the time, as I live in Vancouver Canada and in fact just got back 10 days ago...and Portland , Cannon Beach, Astoria and Seaside are also frequent favourite haunts! Looks like you hit all the iconic spots as well as humbly endured the famous fogs and dreamy morning chill by the water fueled by lots of delicious coffee 😋 we all look forward to going home peacefully and safely...so enjoy NYC now but do come back to the Pacific North West...it truly has a dreamy and lulling winsome pull...and this from an east coaster born in Toronto, who always misses back home. 😔😪 Stay safe and well Gail and enjoy the rest of the NYC summer!🤩 Ps. Your choice of music was fantastic and sooooo very relaxing ! 🤗🤗
Hi Gail! You did a beautiful job on this video…I’ve been to both Seattle and Portland. Fabulous places. So glad you didn’t let traveling alone cancel the trip. You did good, girl! ❤️
What a wonderful trip. Claustrophobia! Oh yeah…but I love how you filmed that tiny looking crack between the rocks. The play on light enhanced the feel. Okay, so maybe the opening is bigger than my claustrophobic mind determined…maybe! 😂 I’m very glad you took time to film so we could “travel” with you. Thank you. Have a fabulously blessed week.
Its great to take a brake and go to a different place. Loved seeing Folks again and I also loved the Twilight movies. My fav seen is when the family walk into the cafeteria. It reminds me of when my husband and I first meet across a somewhat crowd room. We've been married for 50 years. There's a lot in these movies that are special too. I love the music and the fabulous scenery.
Gail, Thank you for all the effort that you put into this video. I have never traveled to this part of the country and thought that the scenery was exquisite. Glad that you had such a good time, both with your friends and solo.
Hi Gail!!!What a wonderful vlog,i travelled with you.I always liked Washington State and after that vlog my will of visiting Seattle and not only,is very intense ...and the music always wonderful❤I agree with you, don't wait until you have a company to travel i've travelled a lot alone.You cheered me a lot it's always a pleasure to watch your vlogs.Things went wrong since last Sunday,thank God we survived and saved our home after a big forest fire and i am trying to put myself together❤❤❤
Hello Gail! This was such a pleasure to watch. What incredible beauty nature gifts us and you captured and presented it perfectly. The ending was a surprise without an outtro- but it was a perfect ending for this film-like video. Thank you for sharing! It’s always a treat to share a little time with you!
What a great vlog and I loved every bit of it. I have never travelled in that area but it looks so beautiful, especially those amazing beachscapes. Love, love, love. Feeling inspired to go on a solo trip now. Thanks for taking us along and I am so happy you had a great trip. Portland seems like such a cool place. ❤️
This was so interesting. Through your camera and eyes,I’m able to see places and things I never thought. I hope you enjoyed your travels and yet it felt good to be home! Thank you for sharing!❤
Gail I am from Long Beach Washington just across the bridge from Astoria! It was so fun watching this🙂 I am surprised you don't have more subscribers, I really enjoy your channel
Looks like a great trip. There is a little drive up/drive thru coffee place like the ones you saw there just east of Lancaster Pa on Rt. 30...always a crowd of cars
What a joyful video! I’ve been to Seattle twice but it’s been years. I feel like it hasn’t changed that much which is a good thing. I don’t know if you saw Mount Rainer as you flew in but it’s such a great preview of what is to come. I think I could live there except for the lack of air conditioning which was shocking to this Texas girl at the time. 😂 I love your thoughts on traveling alone. Also, I was team Edward too. 😊 P.S. Tillamook ice cream is the best ice cream.

Amazing!! Where did you go?!

That must've been an epic meeting if it was anything like the movie!
Gail, Thank you for all the effort that you put into this video. I have never traveled to this part of the country and thought that the scenery was exquisite. Glad that you had such a good time, both with your friends and solo.
The scenery was really something these - thank you for watching, Judy!
Best advice ever, Gail! Great video!!

Love these types of travel vlogs
So glad to hear it!!
Glad you got to go and thanks for taking us along! The PNW is one of my favorite places and hope to retire there. 🙌🏼
I can certainly see why!!
Ah, that was fab! Crumpets are in our DNA in the UK but I've never seen a whole cafe devoted to them!😊
And it was absolutely delicious! I stuck to toasted with butter & jam 😋
@@theregoesgail butter and jam is good!
Though I hope you didn't pay a silly amount for it as we can get a packet of 6 for around 45!!!
Beautiful trip, dear Gail!❤🤗
Thank you, Dana!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful beautiful trip along with encouraging words!!
Thank you for watching & supporting! 🫶

I imagine Forks became very popular due to the movie. I loved the movies. I'm Team Jacob. Lol.
Agree to disagree 😂 #teamedward

You mentioned that you had never been to this part of the country. Where did you grow up?
I grew up in New Jersey 🙂
