You, Me & the RV
You me and the RV
I love watching you two! My husband passed away 5 years ago and our dream was to travel the US when he retired. God had other plans and took him home before we could travel together. I am working now on buying a RV that I feel comfortable and safe driving and the number one thing on my liat is to see the Northern Lights!!! We both dreamed of this for many years and I hope I can fullfill this dream for the both of us.
I never imagined going on the road alone but he is always with me.
Thanks for your wisdom and hope to meet you two in person someday!!!
You will be taking him along in your heart! You will never travel alone! Learn as much as you can about the mechanics and you will be great!
Sorry Nancy. I'm glad you still hit the road!
Starting our first 6 month journey on Wednesday! So looking forward to what retirement can be for us!
So blessed to say we are living our dream too. Sold the business and house and are now living full-time in our 42' CC fifth wheel. Just got back to home base (in FL) from a 5 month trip of the NE. Absolutely LOVED the New England states!! The best decision we have made! Love the simple, no stress lifestyle!!! Our country is beautiful! Get out and go see it!!!
I wrote the list! I started watching RV you tube videos! Now 2-1/2 years later I am 2 weeks from retiring and the list is turning into reality. We will see you down the road!!
That is awesome!!!
We write everything down! Writing things down helps put them into existence.
We’re working through our bucket list as we still work in our career jobs, in which we’ll both retire from in 45 months (62.5 & 57 years old). One of the big items crossed off nine years ago walking on Antarctica for three days and visit Iguazu Falls, Argentina, knocking off our fifth and sixth continents over 2.5 weeks. In 2015 we visited beautiful Marrakech, Morocco, the country’s cultural center. In April 2022 we explores Peru’s Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and Lima. Late July 2023 we’ll do a safari in Kenya and Tanzania! Oh, since Phil loves to eat, like us, we highly recommend San Sebastián, Spain, the epicurean center of Europe. The Basque Country is stunning in its beautiful landscapes and devotion to creating delicious and simple food. Three of our four last European vacations went through the Basque regions, since December 2015. Not yet accomplished, spending three months in Japan and eat our way from northern Hokkaido to the south, Nagasaki. We bought an Airstream and diesel Ford F-350 this year and have working remotely up and down the West Coast too!! Eventually we want to explore Alaska from May to September in our rig. Thank you for a great channel and thank you for encouraging others to live their dream.
We're so impressed with how you keep your daydream. We're still finding our someday, but after watching you guys, we've decided: today is someday! Yep, any day now, we're gonna be changing lanes. PS: Love your RV!
Yes! I'm all about figuring out a way to do our bucket list NOW instead of waiting. This fall my husband and I checked off a bucket list item by celebrating our 25th anniversary with a trip to Shenandoah National Park and exploring Luray Caverns. We've seen the signs from the interstate for 25 years, and now we can say we've been there! I also decided when school started that we would include Adventure Friday in our homeschool plans. So, every Friday our youngest sons (7 & 9) and I head out for a local adventure. Highlights so far include touring a few historic mansions, visiting the zoo, a Revolutionary War reenactment, and getting lost in a corn maze. Nothing epic or expensive, but the point is to have fun, get out of our comfort zones, and learn/experience something new!
Next bucket list item - Dry Tortuga National Park. And then the glad bottom Kayaks in Crystal Spring. RV Life is the best decision I've ever made.
Thanks guys. Enjoyed the video. Working on our house to sell. And yes, we have a bucket list book. Just being patient while working towards our goal. Love your videos. Love our fellow Veterans.
I was a friend of Dick Schreder of Bryan Ohio a sailplane builder and owner of the Bryan Airport where I worked! Flying is addictive!
The top of our list is to visit (& camp in as many as possible) every National Park. We've been to 26 of the 63 so far and many other National sites with many scheduled every year. It's a great life!
Top of our Bucket List is a summer in Alaska. Working toward it now. Totally agree with the Start Local advice. I have lived in the same county for 60 years and over the last year I have found so many amazing places that of course I knew existed but had never taken advantage of. We just got back from a 30 day road trip. We did get some good advice from locals along the way for things to do but many of them could only say "I've heard this is fun or I've heard this is a good hike", but they never took the time to experience them. We are usually looking for the non-touristy things to do, as I think a lot of RVers are.
Fly to Quam and visit with my son that is stationed there. Go on a hike, scuba dive in the ocean and go jeeping while I'm there.
Great video about getting out and doing things. Ice cream and shaved ice are always at the top of my list.
Soaring, what a great experience! It's fun watching you guys live your dream. 😁
My dad was a private pilot and was also afraid of heights. He said when he was flying his plane his feet were on the floor so he felt safe!
My father-in-law (god rest his soul) graduated from West Point. Army today, tomorrow, and until I die! Sorry Phil & Stacy. We still love you!
Hand Salute!
If you are in New York State in the month of August, visit the Sterling Renaissance Festival near Rochester NY. It is magical. You can knock off one of your bucket list items.
Seriously tho, I’m going to rv inspector school in June 2023 and I will start my business so I can get out full time faster!!!
You will love the school and the folks there!!!
@@todayissomeday I found out about them from you guys! Got the at home program last year and have been following their channel. The 52U ladies got me to thinking that I could do it too!
Flying is a blast
Gliders are so awesome to ride in. We did a tail stall and then a full stall. I also fly remote control gliders and learning how to stay up there with what you can’t see keeps you thinking.
Also in memory of my best friend Jerry Snedden who was gliding up in the Sierra’s solo, working the slope lift and got caught on the backside and couldn’t pull it out. RIP
Never did the Glider flight, but did have my Single Engine Land with Instrument License and owned my own aircraft, so I understand the freedom of flight.
My dad always wanted to fly, but kept not doing it because "that's a rich man's sport". I similarly had the flight bug, but for my 30th birthday, my wife gave me ground school and some dual time. So I got to actually learn to fly, to spend some time in the left seat of Cessna 152s and 172s, doing not just level flight but takeoffs, landings, circling about a point, s turns along a road, etc. Unfortunately, I found that I have air-sickness bad enough to preclude becoming a pilot, but I *tried* it, and that was cathartic. When I gave up, I sent my headset and other gear to my dad, talked him into taking a few flights with a friend of his who's a pilot. IDK about a bucket list though. We mostly like to play it by feel, not make a lot of plans.
Love this message about not waiting for X, and just making a list and hitting it. Live your life!!! Looking forward to getting our hoodies from yall. On a general level, our bucket list is mostly travel and exploration. Planning to start full time RV this spring, just a few more things to work out first and we're soooo excited!
I love the message in your video! It is so true, there is no time like now! Last spring we took the kids out of school, took leave of absence from our jobs and with the US-Canada border finally open made a four month trip to US with our travel trailer. Made some amazing memories!
Love that!
all i can say is your perfect for each other from what i can see i could be friends with you to i love your enthusiasm your living my dream keep working on that list much love from eastern pennsylvania !
I love this message and agree 100%. I didn’t have this realization until my husband died at the young age of 49. At the time I was only 43 and wondering what to do with the rest of my life. I learned there is a big difference between existing and living. I am very close to full time travel with my fiancé and couldn’t be more excited. I am still in my 40s, why wait when I can do it now.
Liked to see you took a glider ride. Hope you enjoyed it. As a glider pilot by myself since over 4 decades I can tell you: the horizon is not the limit.
Having been up in a glider plane I can confirm it is amazing. One of the items on my list is to meet you wonderful people at a meet and greet
My dad was in the RCAF during WWII but couldn’t be a pilot as he wore glasses so he was a mechanic. I took a flight lesson and he was so thrilled I did that. It was so cool “flying” but not enough to go all in.
April 2024 we hit the road to see North America in a truck & fifth wheel. I’ve done stuff on my bucket list as has my hubs.
🇨🇦 awesome!
I'm in Monument, CO and see the gliders on the AFA all the time. Glad you had fun. But... I'll be fulltiming next year! Already purging and setting things up for the transition per my list!
Stacey! I’m impressed girl!
Did sky dive 14,000/feet. Glider looks cool!
Hang Gliding and Sail planning were on my early bucket list but kids sports put an end to them. Now America is on the bucket list. This summer we did all the NE states, Montreal, Toronto and Niagara Falls. This Spring we are doing Asheville and have begun talking about the Florida Keys. So just like your channel name Today is our Someday and the adventures have begun.
That would be so much fun, been ballooning several times, but had 1 bad jumo the day after basic, shattered left foot the 1st time, my list is just to walk again, get the Rv and live my remaining years back in the west I grew up in
Always tried to have a bucket list and so far it’s been great. Took off from
Pa. And went to Chicago for deep pan pizza and loved it. Everyone thought we were crazy , sucks to be them! :)
Here are two of many things on my bucket list: RV to Alaska and Canada; rent a camper van in New Zealand and Australia (I really want to see the southern constellations).
Great video and wonderful advice. We have done a few things on our bucket list. We took a trip that included Pikes Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Devils Tower, and Mount Rushmore, but I agree we need to write what we want to do down and get them checked off
What a great message!! You're absolutely right. Our family has been checking things off our "bucket list" together for awhile. I am like you guys, I love to make a list...but you know, I haven't really written down those things I want to do (they live in my head) or want to go see. We are not full-timers, but we are blessed with a work schedule that's the same as our kids because we are teachers. We like to take all the opportunities we can to live life to the fullest. We have always loved to travel and experience places, but when we bought our travel trailer in 2019...WOW...we have been able to see and do so much more. Thank you for this great video and great reminder to us all! ~Kelli P.S. Gonna get on making that list. :)
PHIL, YOU A BRAVE MAN.
And Stacy did it too! Yay!
Thanks for bringing us along!
As a pilot, studying and understanding weather, wind, etc. seems to be one of the essential skills. Looks good! (Flying).
Been watching you two and your grand adventures for quite a while now and simple LOVE the channel. My lovely bride and I have our list too. We call it our LIFE LIST; just seems a bit more positive to us! Stay safe and healthy and we'll catch you on the next adventure. Oh yeah, and a big HECK NO to gliders.....no motor I'm not going! :)
Sounds like you had a blast… though ‘chicken’ didn’t touch controls (?). I would love to hit the controls!
Proud for of you Stacy!!
(((Hugs))) to you both!
GO NAVY!
ps….my f-n-law was in the 82nd Airborne during WW2… he jumped out of planes and flew in the Army gliders!!
A suggestion…
Do a video on the Dday WW2 museum in New Orleans !!
You guys were within 15 minutes of my house! Wish I could have met up with you!
Really cool. My twin and I are 69 now and when we were 14 to 17 our family flew sailplanes in So. CA... My dad said it was true flying... at 22 (1943-44) he was captain for united airlines. ............ History is really neat to learn from. That looked like a crop duster plane and we used piper cubs.
No way no how!! Scuba deep shipwrecks and go under the ice to recover cars but I REFUSE to get in a little plane let alone a glider. Looks amazing but not a snowballs chance in well you know.
I've wanted to travel across the US for years. We are finally retired and now have the time, but NOT the money to do it. As you know it takes money to travel. We put money away, but my husband is afraid that something is going to happen, and we'll need that money in the future for other things, so we can't touch it. As you know, trying to travel on SS retirement won't let you travel very far from home. I've also wanted to go to Scotland too, but that's never going to happen either, so I live vicariously through all these travel RV podcasts, and at least I get to see places I would most likely go if I could. Thanks for being my travel partners.
We went full time Aug. 29. We are calling this our friends family and fun tour. We have put 4,000 miles as we zigzagged across the Southern Canada and northern U.S. we have seen many old friends made several new ones. We saw in a surprise day, a detailed tour abour Laura Ingall Wilder , the shipwreck museum in MI, the badlands, Mount Rushmore, Custer State Park, learned about Crazy Horse and his monument, spent 4 days exploring Yellowstone, spent days in several locations where hubby lived as a PK, seeing where he grew up. Now we will soend several weeks with his brother including enjoying Thanksgiving together before we head south to spend Christmas in CA with our oldest daughter and family. We enjoyed many interesting Harvest Hosts, some great boondockers welcome, some moochdocking at family and friends, one Cracker Barrel night and a couple of churches not affiliated with HH. We also interspersed some decent campgrounds to do laundry and have hook,-ups. JOY, our 29 ft. Class C, no slides has run well in all that. Step motor having an issue and we are taking it in Wednesday. But truly has been joy. We want to continue to travel spending the summer in NH with the youngest daughter and family there for as long as we can. We also geocache along the way. We are 75 and 74 and hope for several years. Our bucket list see all our old friends across the country, see the Petrified forest, Yosemite, the Redwoods, Sequoia National Park, Grand Tetons, Glacier, and more.
We have been gliding and had started to take lessons a few years ago. So fun!! We have been to many of the places you have been to and have so much more to see!!
Your channel name says it all “Today Is Someday”. It’s like in New Mexico, “ mañana“ doesn’t mean tomorrow, it just means not today. As we all know we aren’t guaranteed tomorrow, so you need to do it now! I’m impressed you both taking a glider flight. Looks amazing. Safe travels!! 😊💞🇺🇸
Making list are great. This works for me. 🙂 were are 3 years from hitting the road. But we are doing more then 8k miles a year just practicing the RV LIFE.🙂🙂🙂
Now I could get on the Ice Cream bucket list! That glider ride looks amazing!!!
Looks like you were flying in our neck of the woods-Air Force Academy/Pikes Peak. Very cool!
Wow awesome!!!
Great video! Thanks for sharing with us!
Our pleasure!
I have always wanted to fly in a glider plane and I would so want to take control!!!! Very cool Phil! I need to complete a new bucket list!
Technically a "glider" is different than a "sailplane". Us kids grew up around them... it was soooo cool. Gliders go up and just come down and were used in the war ... sailplanes can gain altitudes and play in lift. ... I know culturally people use both terms...
This was a really special video. As Leonardo Da Vinci said: "When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and there you will always long to return." Getting my private pilot's license was a bucket list item for me. Flying a plane down the VFR corridor over the Hudson River in New York City and circling the Statue of Liberty was something I did a thousand times on a flight simulator, and in 2005, I got to do it for real. Unfortunately, flying became too expensive, but this video really made me itch to go back and fly more.
Good job on gliding.
Do you have a link to that soaring school/rides? Thanks!
Phil on those honey dew lists.... Why is it that when I cross off the top of the list the bottom continues to grow???
Askin for a friend!!
So true! The list never ends! LOL
Glider ride over the Rockies, check, Bi-plane ride over the Hudson River, check, and the check marks go on. We added Presidential homes to our list last year and have 7 now. Last week we rented 3 wheel motorbikes and toured the Gettysburg Battlefield. Another check. Even our Grandkids have lists. Our 12 yo grandson now has over 150 different roller coasters he has ridden. The best goal is to add more than you check off each year. Keeps you going. BTW we know some of the best farm fresh ice cream shops in South Central PA. Stop by and we will take you to some of them. 🍨Of course everything else you eat afterwards will be measured against them. Safe travels.
Great message, today! Thank you the encouragement.
You are so welcome
Flying while full-time RVing is the best! Can’t wait to see you guys on the road! You can check out toad. Or more specifically what’s in my road. Hint: it flys.
Phil I have an ice cream place for you It's called a Grindstone General Store in Port Austin Michigan tip of the thumb Yes we all have a map here. look them up online to see how big their cones are. They're one scoop or baby cone is about a half a gallon no joke 🍦 oh if you want to know how to use both hands to make our state look up UTR Michigan He does have videos online but he is a PBS station Guy's crazy I must watch too.
I would love that...
Pay for Phil's Next Ice Cream!!!
Great video guys. Thanks for taking us along with you. I envy you on thus trip.
Tell Phil to put on his big boy pants. Can't believe a certified Squid gets sweaty palms just flying. LOL
Just kidding you sir. If you were nervous and did it anyway, kudos for you. You deserve a double scoop cone for that !
Really enjoy ya'll taking us with you on your travels and sharing you time with us.
Two thumbs up for your efforts to help veterans.
Graduated in 72, had several family members that were in Viet Nam and remember how they were treated. Glad to see that attitude towards veterans has changed and so many good folks like ya'll are trying to help.
God bless ya'll and stay safe on your travels.
That’s a hard pass for me. Glad you guys did it, though!
Run a half marathon in every state.
#Excitedtomakealist
I’ve cream hopping 😃 That’s for me.
Loved the trying. I bet there's a weight requirement huh? Hubby wants togo too
Why do I get the feeling that every one of your bucket-list items that frightens me is Stacey's idea?😳😅
Because you are super smart!! 😂😀
But it’s taking FOREVER to get there!!!😂
We was out of debt and I wanted to buy my dream car .GOD had something else in mind I guess .Had a Heart ablation then month later hip replaced .We are self employed so our health insurance not good we owe close to $500k now .glad gov controlled health expenses 😡
I am surprised your pilot did not loop that fine airplane. 5G's would give you some excitement ! Flying a glider is much more rewarding than flying a powered airplane. The plane you flew has a 40 mile glide ratio for every 5000 feet of elevation. You can fly all day with no engine !!!
He offered, I declined.....LOL
That's real flying, all pilots should be required to do this, loose an engine, I've got It!
The most famous story is the Gimli Glider. Had the Air Canada pilot not also been an experienced glider pilot it would have most likely ended in a tragedy.
Love you guys but not everyone can just up and s..t can there job & life and live there dream. There's jobs, money, family, mortgages, and countless others.
Which is why we said to do what you can where you are. Make the list. Add big stuff and small stuff. There is plenty that can be done around work and even for free.
@@todayissomeday hey im retired...we retirees need those social security paying folks to keep paying!!!
