my camping blanket has just arrived and opening the package while watching the latest episode❤

[@zandakatz9115]

Just received my camper blanket/poncho today! Love it! Great design and colors! Even my kitties approved! 😻

[@rowdyposs]

My blanket made it from China to Sydney in Australia on the 28 Nov but has now dropped off the tracking in the Apple wallet app so I have no idea where it is. Not on my doorstep nor is there a card. It’s a Saturday 30th so maybe it will come on a week day 🤞

[@rowdyposs]

I’ll be waiting to see if the blanket arrives before ordering a shirt.

[@klbriceno1]

only Nikki can lose her wallet and exclaim "this is the best day ever!" lol.. this girl is a master class in attitude is everything. I love it.

[@NikkiDelventhal]

Haha! I appreciate that! You won’t believe it, someone who watches the channel found it on the ground (I’m guessing that location cause it was muddy haha) in Homer and I just got it in the mail this week!!!!!

[@jillsanto397]

You need to walk around with a belt bag 24/7 or have everything tied to you so you can’t lose it. I can’t believe how chill you were. I would be flipping out and would have gone back and retraced my steps to find it. You’re like…”this is the best day ever”. I love your positivity ❤

Living in a van and connecting with nature sounds incredible! I noticed you mentioned fishing, and I wanted to share a perspective that might resonate with you. It’s inspiring to see people deeply connected to nature fostering awareness about how we can reduce harm and care for all living beings, including animals. Acts of kindness and compassion can create such a meaningful impact! Wishing you all the best on your journey.

[@EdCook-f4q]

Don't know how functional it is but the interior of the van is beautiful and so appropriate for Alaska. Knotty pine. We took a cruise out of Whittier and didn't have any time to explore but loved the look and a cruise ship sitting in that setting was surreal. Very low-key departure which made it peaceful. The cruise out of the bay was one of the most peaceful activities I have experienced. One does not picture a cruise ship being peaceful, but it was magical standing on the stern and watching the water and snow-covered mountains glide away. Something we did learn in Whittier. The Army had many things going on, some secret and loved the area. it is overcast almost all of the time, and nothing could be seen or photographed from the air. In other words, if the enemy or spys somehow got over it, saw nothing. If you want cold, check on the temps there throughout the year. among the coldest in the state on a regular basis.

[@Warren-h5c]

Thanks!

[@Atayza]

I'm so glad you were able to spend some time in my home town! We would love to have you back anytime! So glad you were able to see and appreciate the beauty of Alaska, no other state compares!

[@NikkiDelventhal]

I love your home town!!!!!!

[@AllenCheck]

That's a fact!

[@jojosworld956]

The world should be more like Nikki Delventhal (sorry if misspelled lol) she loses her wallet. Like in our day in age that's catastrophic. And she still said this is the best day ever. You my friend are an inspiration. Love from Cincinnati 💚

[@Sonia-cq9cl]

[@jessiesdroneadventures7464]

Hey Nikki! next time your in Alaska, Visit the little town of Seward. You'll love it, there is a sea life center, many great places to eat, a waterfall on the outskirts of town, and definitely take the "seward ocean Excursion" its a year round boat tour company that takes you out the bay where youll see otters, birds, maybe even whales, and amazing views of the landscapes!

[@jeank8061]

Sometimes I feel restless for adventure - and Nikki's videos usually scratch that itch vicariously. Or, they inspire me to find a little adventure close to home - just to experience something new. Thanks for bringing us on your travels, Nikki! :)

[@bartneal8605]

I’ve driven down the spit when it was raining “rocks” yep real rocks being thrown up on the road by a storm surge. It’s a real thing, so many rocks that the city uses a grader to remove them from the road.

[@randyholloway920]

So happy you got your wallet back. Few thoughts. Yep, ir tag. Separate emergency cash stash hidden in van. Separate wallet with a few of your cards and I’d.

[@sayitaintsl0w]

Losing your wallet is the absolute worst. Losing your wallet while traveling..in Alaska..is the ultimate worst. I am so sorry. Having a Fanny pack or small over the shoulder leather bag helps my ADHD mind keep essential things like keys, phone and wallet in the same place. Just enough space for these items..otherwise I would fill it with other junk and it would be a mess. Also, I just leaned about the Golden Eagle. What an amazing thing to whiteness. Thank you N!

[@russellkersh389]

I have been to Homer Alaska several times there’s a good place to eat there called the salty dog saloon you can get a crab melt sandwich for like 12 bucks but if you order breakfast two eggs and bacon, it’s 25 bucks

[@tacrewgirl]

Homer is my favorite place in Alaska. Wild Honey Bistro and Two Sisters Bakery are great for breakfast. The Kannery is delicious for dinner and drinks. And there's also Sweetgale Meadery and Bear Creek Winery. I love staying at the Lands End Hotel on the spit in the winter. It's beautiful and relaxing. The spit is busy in summer but you're definitely in Alaska in late September and that's why everything is closed. There's great hiking across the bay in Kachemak Bay State Park. And if you want to be spendy and relax, I highly recommend Between Beaches lodging in Seldovia. It's beautiful for relaxing.

[@vikkibutler8255]

you are a great tour guide and I love how you take us along - and loosing your wallet = so relate-able. I subscribed.

I ‘ve been to Wild Honey, it’s wonderful and Homer, Seward, Whittier and of course Denali and we saw it on a clear day. I agree Alaska is amazing. I want to go back after watching your video and I was there in fall also, I agree it’s just amazing.

[@TheLoner801]

Also, Makos water taxi is a nice ride to seldovia, where i still have a house, but they only go to Jakalof Bay and then you have to secure a ride into seldovia, which is 10 miles away. If you have them take you straight into seldovia, it an extra fee. And when the sea is rough, the ride aint for the faint of heart.

[@lyndilynn3130]

Nikki, I am a huge fan and watch every week❤❤! Just would love to see more international content! Have you thought about tour guiding again? I think you could do that with an older audience than just the 20 somethings… or maybe you & Sara could go as a duo that would be amazing!! Happy holidays 🎄🐾🎁

[@jaymefisher5465]

So amazing! This was my home for the first 30 years of my life. I know the places intimately that you have shown. I could smell the “smells” through the video. There truly is no place like my “Alaskan home”. I miss it so much and I can say I was very fortunate to grow up in Alaska in the early 70’s. So many adventures that have made me who I am today. ❤ Thank you for sharing and increasing my level of being homesick 😂

Beautiful. Bummer about the wallet. I once was pickpocket in Germany. A whole months pay. Keep the great attitude

[@lalad2943]

Love your Alaska series 💛 Hope you find your wallet, perhaps fallen next to/under seat? One time I lost one and that's where it was, also left it on my truck bumper once after getting gas, and luckily it was still there when I stopped. Such a bummer, and I know the panic, but you handled the situation so well 😊 👏👏👏

[@johnsanborn7341]

Hi Nikki Delventhal. We live in Alaska, myself for 15 years and my wife born and raised here, all of her life. I recommend next time you come to Homer go take a water taxi across Kachamak Bay and do some kayaking, etc. So epic. Happy to show you the area.

[@rhondah8669]

I was at the Salty Dawg in 1995. Looks about the same with a few more bills on the wall. At the end of the spit was a halibut fish n chips place, best food! Was standing room only, it was so busy. I need to go back to Homer!

[@TomHeideman]

Split looked like a ghost town compared to June 2022 where it was hard to find a parking spot and tourists everywhere. We also liked the “boat/house” at 9:30 minutes. You definitely need to come back in season.

[@anitaostrander4301]

im so grateful for this extraordinary tour of Alaska! its been wonderful! im hooked! I want some of that creamy carrot dill soup! thank you Nikki!

[@kimchicountry]

I'm very pleased with my camping blanket. It's bright and cheery! It's good quality and has more features than most. It can be a poncho two ways, has loops on every corner, a built in stuff pocket and it's made of fabric that appears to be snag and stain resistant. Don't sleep on your chance to get one!

Just for the Halibut ?? Take a trip to Haines AK for a visit to the bald eagle sanctuary. On a visit there, I once saw a pod of Orca's within a rock's throw from the shore. Also, I remember it getting dark at around 2am and then getting light again in 2 hours at 4am. Put a lost items ad on CL lost and found, that's how I had my keys returned to me just recently...good luck...travel on !!
