    Speaking of rocks... Y'all rock! 😍
    I think I forgot to come back to your previous video and tell you our warmest congratulations on the decision to marry. This summer in Ontario I presume? Alex's dad is a man of few words but on point. Her mom is a beautiful woman, that's promising for Frank. Family is important and from all we see on this side of the screen indicates y'all are a great couple to navigate together this adventurous journey of life.
    You going down mainland Mexico, or Baja? Mr and Mrs adventure (Brittany and Drew) are on Baja now, you might send them a heads up and discuss meeting, if you haven't already. I don't believe they were planning to ferry to the mainland so they should be coming back up the peninsula on their exit. You two couples are the only ones left still traveling in your vans that we watch, how cool if you meet and do something together.
    You guys should consider ferrying over to mazatlán and exploring around Mexico. There's so much to see and do that I know you'd love. You might even get inspired to continue exploring central and south America. I don't recall any tales of anyone regretting having done so, and life's short. Arriba y adelante!

    • @FnAVanLife
      @FnAVanLife  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We have hung out with Brittany and Drew before they have actually been in one of our videos. Love the fact that we are the only two couple still on the road. We don't see ourselves stopping any time soon.
