    You have great enthusiasm and an apprreciation for life. Since so many watch your videos as inspiration and guidance, we would feel remiss if we didn't pass along our concern with your example of being ok traveling in a bed in the back. Like you, we have become fatigued and done so but we experienced a situation which could have had a tragic ending and now always stop to rest or move about no matter how many miles we hope to travel. Most states also have law re: wearing a seatbelt in back in addition to those in the front. This is not meant as a criticism but to help build awareness the importance of consistency with that safety practice since so many people watch your videos and look up to you. Although the video is old, possibly consider editing that small section out.Thanks for listening and we wish you safe travels!

I have been watching your cruising adventures as I will go on my first real cruise to Mediterranean… however, y’all are very entertaining couple. Y’all do have energy and do keep things clean and fun. Glad y’all got the van and back on the road… so keep sending out your adventures and we will be watching.

    I LOVED this video. OMG of all your videos, this was one of my favorites. Its always been a dream of mine to drive across country. I loved all your short vlogs along the way about the scenery, the pavement, the temperature, the gas prices, the food, etc. The tired look on your faces at the Mexican restaurant after day 1 said it all. Loved every minute of this video.

    I noticed you had a stop at a Quik Trip. If you've never tried them, their ready-to-eat breakfast sandwiches and chopped brisket tacos and sandwiches are really good!
    Also, your van just looks classy as can be. Kinda like the infant offspring of one of those million-dollar class A's!

    Some suggestions when you head back...before dropping into the desert when you leave San Diego is a unique place called Desert View Tower in Imperial County. In New Mexico, take a detour out of Las Cruces, north on the 25 to T or C and check out the Riverbend Hot Springs. You can spend the night there in the van as well. As for food in El Paso, check out L & J Cafe. Enjoy Hawaii and Happy Anniversary!
