OMG, did you book us into the Flamingo in this video and then *check us in* to the Flamingo in your subsequent video (after we buy luggage)? We stan a consistent queen!
Oh that’s great!! You’re around my age. ☺️☺️ What I wouldn’t give for a Time Machine to eavesdrop on my childhood self and all the things that filled my days and my senses back then.
Crazy to me people used to plan trips like this! And navigate highways! We didn’t travel when I was a kid. By the time we did, GPS was in popular use. Thanks for showing how it was done.
I loved my Dad’s Triptiks. Once I was old enough, my Dad let me be the family navigator because of my obsession with maps. It’s so funny to think how recent GPS is. I moved to Chicago for graduate school in the late 80s and was still using maps.
That’s cool. Whenever I mention a city or name in my videos, there’s usually at least one person who pops up and says, That’s me!!!! Makes me smile. ☺️☺️☺️
I love travel agents, they know everything. Work arounds & last minute deals you just don't find anywhere else. Nothing online today beats the attention & doing yourself can lead to unforseen catastrophes 😢.
I miss TripTiks! Many fond memories of road trips with my Dad where I'd read the TripTiks along the way. I loved watching the AAA employees pull the inserts, assemble the TripTiks, and highlight the routes.
Sorry to add to Julie's comment but I found I couldn't add. Wonderful asmr Sherri, I knew this was going to be a good one but so authentically nostalgic like a road trip to the past. Thanks so much for your time effort skill and talent. 💕
Hi Jess! Same here!! My Dad ALWAYS got a TripTik for every vacation. And once I was old enough, I was the chief navigator. I’ve just always been fascinated by maps. Later, my husband tried to convert me from paper maps to digital maps and GPS. He used to get so mad at me for insisting on using our big atlas in the car. 😂😂😂
Hey Ian!! I know you’re partial to office sounds, so I knew you’d probably like this one. Thank you for your encouragement all the time. It means a lot to me. 💚💚💚
I remember the first time my mom and I took a major road trip. She said “I’m going to AAA and getting a TripTik” and I was like “a what?” So many fond memories.
The map and pencil at the beginning make some amazing sounds, plus those different angles 🤌🏻. That typewriter brought back some memories. Even though as a kid my elementary school already had computers, we could not use them frequently because they broke down very quickly, so we still had typing courses. The school had a lot of typewriters for students to use, but most of them didn't work so most of us had to bring our own typewriter to class 😅. I still fondly remember my old portable Olivetti typewriter 🤓
Olivetti??! Could you make out that my typewriter is a portable Olivetti? 😃😃😃 PCs weren’t a thing till I was in grad school, so in high school, we used a manual in Typing I and an electric in Typing II. I can type very fast but not without errors. I remember getting a combo electric typewriter/word processor in college. It had exactly one line on the display. 😂😂😂 After you typed the one line and ensured that there were no typos, you’d hit return and the whole line typed out all at once. Thought it was the absolute coolest thing.
@@MidModMeridianASMRyup, I remember that typewriter, but I remember mine being even more compact and rounder-edged, and green in color. It was a cute machine, I liked it a lot, but I lent it years ago and never got it back 😔 There were already laptops back then, and a rich kid in my class had one instead of a typewriter. It was a bit unfair, because the lessons involved writing sentences on the paper over and over again, and all he did was write the sentence once, and then copy and paste, obviously he finished much faster than the rest of us with our typewriters. And I don't know if it was because of the novelty that he had a laptop, but it seemed that our teacher turned a blind eye to such an unfair advantage 😂 The funny thing is that despite knowing about PCs, and even laptops, electric typewriters seemed very cool and futuristic to me at that time, I don't know why 😅
I am always entranced watching your videos! Loved the sounds of paper rustling, dialing the phone, clicking of the typewriter roller! I learned something new about AAA, the Trip Tiks! I miss paper maps. My Dad's glove box was always full of them. Thank you Sherri, your bow tie was too cute! ❤️
I miss paper maps, too. I used to be OBSESSED with them, even after GPS. My husband and I used to get in fights about my preferred method of navigation when we’d go on vacation and he was driving. 😂😂😂
Robin is correct!! Without computers, how else could one do it? The US mail and the telephone played huge roles in the conduct of business at any level in the 60s. Thus, the potential for a lot of ASMR in the wild. That was certainly a big part of my childhood. 💚💚
Just recently stumbled across your videos and I gotta say personally they are amazing, I’m a young guy that loves the 50s, 60s and 70s and it really is relaxing and just absolutely cool to just go back in time and relax to your soothing voice and videos thank you it’s been a pleasure life can suck at times and coming to just relax and unwind after a crappy day can be perfect☺️ you do you honey and keep Rockin🤘😌
It was nice to plan a trip back in time.. This video was wonderful, your retro roleplays are the best (and more people should see and appreciate them)! Thank you for your work and attention to detail
I do this for a living at AAA, they’ve converted it to a hybrid job where we sell memberships and take insurance payments. If they could ever get anyone to last the first 2 weeks. Been there a year and it’s been…..a rough ride. But good days ahead I hope. Love the video
I remember using traveler's checks long before debit cards were available. You had to sign one of the signature lines on each check in front of the bank teller and the other at the vendor while they inspected it to match the original.
Impressed by how you folded the map back together lol. Loving these retro videos. New sub. Suggestion: i saw your prop comment and thought well I’m sure many people have some things they wouldn’t mind parting with, maybe make a post and subscribers can one day send you some things they aren’t using. Maybe to a PO BOX in the future. Good luck on the channel growth! ❤
What a sweet thing to say-both of you. 😌💚 TH-cam has its own little logic. In most cases, it takes a long time (and a lot of patience) to grow; in other cases, small channels burst through quickly. To be honest, I’d like to get enough subs to pay for all my props and equipment. If I can get that, I’ll probably do this until I die. 😂☺️
@@MidModMeridianASMR Yes and the props you have are unbelievably just so realistic and just so much thought and effort go into them I just can't even imagine how you do it I just am blown away every time I see your videos! You know TH-cam and their damn algorithms are just sometimes not fair but you know what eventually when they pick up on the effort and the quality of work that you do you'll get put into one of those algorithms where you get more traffic directed to your channel. You just have to hang in there and deal with it and it'll get better with time. You are something very very special and trust me we all appreciate it very much! Excuse my run on sentences and grammar it's because I use voice typing all the time so that's why it's so terrible lol
I think the channel is growing, I just started watching a month ago, and I believe there were only 3k subs. Now, there's over 6k. So yeah, Meridian is gonna blow up soon! At least enough to keep up with props ❤
I can't tell you how happy I was when I found the AAA video! I've joked all my life that my dream job would be highlighting triptix for AAA. I would definitely love to take more ASMR trips to AAA. 😊
Grazie Claudia. Mi dispiace che mi ci sia voluto così tanto tempo per rispondere, ma ho avuto problemi con un nervo del collo. Dopo più di una settimana sulla schiena, comincio a sentirmi un po' meglio. Spero che le cose continuino in quella direzione. Non vedo l'ora di tornare a fare video. 😘😘
@@MidModMeridianASMR Sherri cara, tranquilla ❤️mi auguro tu stia un po’ meglio …. per me è sempre una gioia sentirti e vederti . Non potendoti aiutare in altro modo ti mando i miei tulipani così che possano almeno colorarti la giornata 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷Attendo con trepidazione il tuo ritorno 😊
Really?! Thank you. ☺️☺️ That’s great to hear. I am partial to the map sounds at the beginning. If I had known how good they were, I wouldn’t have edited out as much. 😂
i know computers was invented in late 70s - 80s but can u please do a classic amsr office using a computer? i would really appreciate it the old style keyboards are my absolute fave~

😂😂😂 You noticed!!!! You might be the only one who noticed. I’m so proud of you!! 💚💚💚
@@MidModMeridianASMR I came from the other direction. The first video I saw was the Flamingo Motel, so in this I figured we'd end up there.
❤❤❤❤
@@MidModMeridianASMRI got married at the Flamingo so next you can plan a small wedding by the waterfalls
I love thiss channel. Being born in1963 i saw a lot of 50' and 60' jewelry and pens, stationary and the typewriter from my grandmother and mother
