[@rs10rohit]

For us indians, USA is Los Angeles and NYC as thats what we see in the Hollywood movies and series. You guys show us the real beautiful USA . KEEP TRAVELLING AND KEEP POSTING

[@FindingOurSomeday]

This is such a great comment to find on here! Thank you so much for watching and for your encouragement! There is SOOOOO much more to the US than the big cities! WE have been traveling full time around the states for 7 years now and we still feel like we have just scratched the surface! So much more to see! Thanks again!

[@Traveling4Two]

I just wanna thank you guys you take this disabled old lady places that I would never be able to go without you and for that you are so appreciated. ❤❤ absolutely amazing, beautiful blue ice glaciers are amazing. Wonderful video amazing family

[@ghostpepperrides4805]

WOW. Next time I watch this one I’m counting how many times you say BLUE!!!! Truth we loved the blue. Beautiful. Thank you. Great video.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It is seriously so overwhelming. It is hard not to comment on it! The camera does ok but it really can 't capture how crazy that color is in real life! Thank you for joining us!

[@ladikmk]

I missed this video when you posted earlier because of holiday preparations. So glad to finally see this today, and what a way to celebrate Christmas - seeing blue water and tons of fish. Those sea lions were VERY determined, but then they are fattening up for the Winter so I hope they caught plenty to last them. Merry Christmas to you and girls. Wherever you are, wishing you safe travels and all the best for the New Year to come.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Well, it is an honor to be part of your holidays! WE had a wonderful Christmas and hope you and your family did as well! Hope 2025 is your best yet! Thank you so much for joining us and taking the time to comment!

[@valdezstayplay]

Great video! Thanks for renting kayaks from us. Magdalena and Jim

[@FindingOurSomeday]

@@valdezstayplay thank you guys so much for providing a way to experience the lake in such a special way! We can’t wait to come back and see you guys again the next time we are up there! We hope you both have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!❤️

[@karlamartins2761]

This video is the most beautiful scenery in Alaska I’ve ever seen. You have captured the glaciers perfect. What an experience of a lifetime for you and your family.

[@10aemery]

Lilly's and Laila's Adventure Channel, would be fun to watch!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It really would! Not sure if either of them will enter into the KZbin world but we shall see! Lily is growing her graphics design business right now and Leila is finishing up high school this year!

[@calledtojourney]

Valdez is one of the most special places in the world, and you've done an amazing job showcasing it! We were there last summer, and it was our favorite place in all of Alaska. The mountains, glaciers, lakes, salmon, bears, eagles, and the Lulu Belle....simply phenomenal.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That is so kind of you to say! We are so glad that you have been able to experience Valdez for yourselves! Video doesn't really do it justice but we tried really hard with this one! It really is such a special place!

[@airstreamer]

WOW. This location is STUNNING! Your drone work, videography and photography is excellent. Exceptional editing! The Fishery was crazy! - Jim & Michelle

[@FindingOurSomeday]

THANK YOU so much! Such a kind comment to find on here! Sometimes it is a daunting task to put an experience into a video for others to experience the beauty that we were able to see but Corey does such an amazing job of giving the footage the emotions that we were feeling at the time!

[@airstreamer]

@@FindingOurSomeday We agree, and understand, as we face the same challenges with our channel. 😊

[@golfnut2599]

fanastic video reminds me of when we did a 3 week cruise and land tour several years ago, everyone that can must see alaska

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We are so excited to go on our SAIL AWAY Alaska 2025 cruise in September!!!! We have RVed Alaska twice now and have always wanted to see it by sea! We can't wait! Thank you for watching!

[@jeffvoigt3501]

One of your finest videos! Thank you! Jeff/Annapolis

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you so much for your very thoughtful gift! We appreciate it more than we can express! So glad you enjoyed this one! Corey worked very hard on it!

[@nancyskean6425]

That paddle was awesome! You can’t get enough blue!! Thank you for sharing that magnificent scenery with us!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

TRUE STATEMENT! You can never get enough BLUE! Thank you very much for joining us and being part of this special adventure!

[@tompfeiffer2755]

Words cannot describe this video! It may be one of your best ever. The scenery, nature and the girls excitement. I'm sharing it with everyone. Thank you!!!!❤

[@FindingOurSomeday]

This comment makes my day, thank you 😊

[@theathjr]

I love this Alaska series !! Thanks for capturing your adventures so beautifully. Also great job girls filming from your perspective 👊

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Really glad you enjoyed it! This was so fun to film and edit! And the girls were great! Thank you for joining us!

[@RLT12]

Amazing video the girls did a great job

[@FindingOurSomeday]

They never cease to amaze us! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! It means so much!

[@trishmiller3086]

Those blue skies in Valdez are beautiful. What a treat!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

ALL the blue!!! Seriously my favorite! Thank you for joining us and taking the time to comment!

[@ejs6010]

I am amazed at each of the RV parks in the small Alaskan port cities. They are catering to the mobile tourist group. Lovely video - thank you!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

The RV community in Alaska is awesome! We always meet amazing people at these parks! Thanks for watching!

[@loragunning5394]

A couple of things came to my mind watching this video. #1 is your daughters choose to stay with you and to travel with you even tho they are of an age where they could be going off on their own. This speaks volumes to me in regards to your parenting skills, as I could not wait to leave my family, was able to convince my mom to allow me to become an immancipated minor at age 16 and I left home soon after. And while I had many "trial flights" before I finally left home at 22, each flight was longer than the one previous and my determination to live independently of my family just increased with every failed trial flight. That both of your girls are so very obviously very happy to stay with you says so much about how deeply your family bonds run. Second, I love being able to see healthy, thriving salmon runs regardless of where they happen. I lived on the shores of Lake Tahoe for a year and was able to experience the salmon runs there, also lived in western Washington State for many years and saw the salmon runs there but sadly also saw the decline of the runs year after year. It's good to know that rivers still run free and unimpeded, allowing salmon runs to occur in their annual cycles, at least in some places...and that in other places among the lower 48, those ancient salmon breeding grounds are being restored via dam removals and habitat reclamation, after sometimes a hundred years or more of the salmon being blocked. So many people just do not understand how vital the annual salmon runs are, primarily to the health of the riparian ecosystems they occur in, and thus to all of the animals (including humans) they are. Thankfully, we have learned by our mistakes and repairing the damages we did to salmon breeding grounds and after many decades of decline, salmon numbers are slowly beginning to climb again, and the ecosystems they they support are beginning to recover as well!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

First of all, thank you so much for you very kind words about our family and the relationship that we have with our girls. Parenting is such an incredible but never ending job and after losing my (Jess') dad at such a young age, we knew we wanted to make every minute we had with our girls count until God opened up the door for the next chapter in their lives. It has taking our time, our consistency, our love, our mercy and all of our prayers, but we couldn't have asked for better daughters or better relationships with them. We are so excited to see what their next adventures will be when they do leave us SOMEDAY, but until that happens we will continue to cherish every minute. We know that time is coming soon! Secondly, it is so special to see so much wildlife in Alaska. Though there is a lot of fishing that has had to be regulated in the last 10 years in Alaska because of the decline in numbers, they are thankfully taking it very seriously so that we never lose them completely! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! It means so very much! We hope you and your family have a wonderful 2025!

[@TNWisky7]

This was amazing blue is my favorite color so you can never show it enough. Lilly and Laila filming their Adventures would be Amazing to See. I hope you got a Picture when Lilly made you pull the Kayaks together that looked cool. God Bless all of you, you look so awesome together.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Blue is my (Jess') favorite color as well, so I totally agree! The girls did so well filming and hopefully they will share more of their skills with us in future videos! It photo of us together is posted on Facebook and Instagram if you want to check it out there! God bless you was well and we hope you have a wonderful New Year!

[@Johnny.D]

Really enjoying your in-depth trip to Alaska with the lineage rv. It is interesting how LJMJ were also in a lineage, and they are now showing us the build of their new 5th wheel. Goes to show the different ways that youtubers present their journeys. I also found it interesting how you folks spell and pronounce Leila. My grandmother and my niece both have that name, but we pronounce it, Leela. Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what's next from you folks. I assume it I'll be in another 6 months when we see what you did in the fall 😊

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We did so much in Alaska this summer and we don't want to skip over any of it! WE obviously what you guys to see all that we did but we also are making these videos to watch with our grandchildren SOMEDAY! WE also purposely film a lot in the summer so that we can take a break in the winter and enjoy the holidays with the girls and our family. It is really important for us to find that balance to avoid burnout. We will be sharing our fall adventures in Iceland in a few weeks! And we will also be showing the build of our custom one of kind new travel trailer! Our pronunciation of Leila is from the Hawaiian spelling! Excited to share so many exciting things coming up on the channel with you guys soon!

[@davelogan3792]

watching this and imagining the time and effort you put into making your adventures National Geographic worthy make my day. Your videos of Alaska are amazing. I doubt very much I will get to Alaska, so I appreciate coming along as your fifth wheel. I hope you don't mind that I share this on Facebook.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Goodness! What a sweet comment to find on here. Thank you so much! Corey puts an insane amount of hours into editing these videos and it is so amazing when it is acknowledged by others. I can't thank you enough! And please share on any social media! We hope that it inspires others to find their SOMEDAY as well!

[@ionecuff6323]

I recognize the couple that walked up to tell people about the bear sighting, they are also youtubers. They live in Alaska and the name of their channel is, Living Free Alaska. I never get tired of seeing the beautiful shades of blues in the ice burgs and glaciers. Maybe some day I can get back up there.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

They are! We got to meet them there and got to see them on the road by the hatchery! Always so nice to meet other KZbinrs and full timers in these epic places! WE will NEVER get sick of those blues either! They give us all so much life and joy!

[@plumcreekantiques7191]

What a lovely video and as a bonus you got the meet Gary and Stacy from Rv’ing to Alaska……another favorite channel

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you so much for watching and it was so awesome to meet them! Alaska is such a special place because you get to meet such amazing people from all over when you are there!

[@cross9494]

Love it!!!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

This one was super fun!

[@davidfacktor648]

Beautiful. I’ve hiked, climbed, camped, skied on glaciers and still can’t get enough of them and their vivid colors. I did a float plane trip out of Anchorage over the mountains and glaciers to Valdez. I’ve even fallen in a crevasse and lived to tell the story. 😮

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Well if we ever cross paths I’d love to hear the story!

[@LeeHutchens-n2l]

Cory has on shorts during the canoe trip close to glaciers OMG! Your legs should have been blue like the glaciers. You’re an Eskimo! Great video.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

He definitely runs hot! I am impressed that I got him to wear shoes! 😂Thank you so much for joining us!

[@bobanddangsjourney]

Great video! You guys must have been there right around the same time we were (aug 3rd). Wish we would have run into you :). We loved our time there and it looks like you guys did as well. Great job capturing the scenery out by the lake and glacier - really hard to get good footage there with so much light reflecting off of everything - but you mastered it well! The kayaks looked great I wish we had done that but we now know for next time. And how fun for the girls to barehand catch the salmon! I had to use a pole :) The place has really changed in the last 6 years hasn't it? Looking forward to Lulu bell next :) Safe travels and happy holidays to you guys!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

SO sad we missed you guys! But grateful that you got to experience all of these amazing places that we got to see while were were there! SO much has changed in 6 years and yet so much still felt the same. The spirit of Alaska and the kindness and hospitality of the Alaskan people will always draw us back to this magical place! Thank you so much for watching and joining us on our adventure! It means so much! Hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@rachelwilson7909]

Your photography is nat geo level! I'm surprised they haven't sought you out! Anyway i enjoy your family. Merry Christmas to you all.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Wow! Thank you so much for you very kind compliment! Really appreciate you being part of our journey and hope you and you family had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

[@kathykeene2092]

Just down from the hatchery is some pretty cool dry camping for a fee. We didn’t see any bears either at the hatchery, but a ton of seals and a million salmons trying to get back into the hatchery, their birthplace. At your campground, BearPaw, did the owner in the store sound like Tommy Lee Jones? Valdez, Alaska was our favorite place too. We went to both museums and learned more about the tsunami from the earthquake. We took the nature cruise too…….absolutely fabulous. While we were in Valdez, two people died kyacking that Valdez Lake. Watching you, made me nervous because of icebergs calving. It’s best to keep your distance. Thanks for bringing back memories. I so want to go again.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We saw that on our first trip to try to find bears! Some of those spots are absolutely amazing! And YES! The owner totally sounded like Tommy Lee! That place was awesome! We heard about the people who died there a few years ago. So tragic. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to share about your time in such a special place as well!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Such incredible shades of blue! Your drone skills, footage & editing - all fabulous!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

The blue just never gets old! It just continues to bring all 4 of us joy wherever we find it on this beautiful earth! Thank you very much for watching!

[@snowbirdlady7221]

Never been to Alaska but I loved the blue water on the Icefields Parkway. Kayaking around the glacier and icebergs was amazing! Thanks for sharing it with us! Great drone and photography work as usual and I really enjoyed Lily & Laila's video too!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Really hope you are able to make up there SOMEDAY! It is a pretty magical place! That day on the lake kayaking was one of our favorite adventures of 2024! It was a perfect day! Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words!

[@karenlapham7335]

Salmon is my absolute favorite. Then you get pizza. 😂. Love to u all. Amazing amazing amazing video. 🌎♥️✌️. Karen

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That pizza was AMAZING!!!! And we had recently had the salmon that we caught and cleaned and cooked ourselves in Homer! Fresh salmon is perfection! Thanks so much for being part of the family, Karen!

[@garylange2426]

We love your videos and have been following you since we were introduced to you in a Happily Ever Hanks video. I am pretty sure we saw you from a distance in Canada. We were in Banff and Jasper. We left Jasper on Friday, 3 days before Jasper was evacuated as a result of the fire. I saw your Class C, and told my wife, I have never heard of a Lineage RV. Loving all of your adventures!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

NO way! That was definitely us! It was the only one in Canada at the time! 😂 So glad you guys were able to see Jasper before the fires! It was a pretty crazy trip back down through afterwards. One of the saddest things we have sen on the road!

[@polymath5119]

Another great video Cory. Superb content and editing. Perhaps Someday Iceland! Hah

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you so much for watching! WE will be in Iceland on KZbin soon! Can't wait to share about it! But there was so much that we got to experience in Alaska and we don't want to skip anything! These videos are for you guys but they are also for our future grandchildren and we want them to see all that their mothers got to do!

[@freedomontheloose]

Wow, great video! Inspiring, Thanks for all the views! Safe travels!

[@jimandellenmeadows6244]

You get the full experience. The sights, sounds, and smells. Add its a bit of a show during the run. We had a blast being in Valdez seeing the show. Thanks for the reminder.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

The smells!!! 😳 It was even more intense this year than it was last time we were there! SO glad we got to have that full experience with you guys in Valdez!

[@ronpa3994]

Beautiful another great ride along with you guys! Love the Girls taking part with some narrating. Great Job!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So glad you enjoyed it! The girls did such a great job and never cease to amazing us with their skills! Thanks for being part of our journey!

[@krissto22]

Wow! All that salmon!! So many yet so expensive 🙉 Fantastic video! Such a shame those glaciers are melting so fast. The landscape looks so beautiful and eerie at the same time. I’d be so scared getting so close. You guys are so brave. Stay safe and Merry Christmas 🎄

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It is insane how many salmon were there and that they are all going back there to die. Such a crazy circle of life! Thank you very much for watching and we hope you and your family had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Amazing video. We so enjoyed our Alaskan Cruise, but would really like to go back in the RV. Is it possible for you to share the route y'all took to/through Alaska?

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Really hope you are able to get to Alaska in your RV SOMEDAY soon! It is truly spectacular! WE don't have our route down other than on KZbin, so you would be able to document our route by watching through the Alaska series from this summer! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@noniemcd]

That kayaking was super scary! I worried about calving.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

There are things that you need to look out for to be as safe as possible. But is is not with out some risk. Thank you so much for watching!

[@HippieHollow]

The girls need their own channel and Rv lol.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

They really should😎

[@davidjackman5773]

With such a gigantic fish kill, what happens to them? Does the tides take them back out? Are they eaten by all the wildlife? Curiosity overwhelms me. The blue in the glaciers is indescrible. We took a helicopter ride to a glacier and it was beyond description. Looking down into the crevice, the blue just got deeper and deeper. It was almost a spiritual experience. Great video, guys. Thank you!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Honestly, I don't know! I will have to ask Corey because he knows all these things! 😂 We have not had the experience of a helicopter ride onto a glacier yet but it is on the list! We can't wait! Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment!

[@richardmeyer7649]

The roads don’t seem to bad. I thought they were supposed to be bad.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That is the misconception that we talk to people about all the time! There are bad areas and our last video shared one of the worst roads in Alaska we have ever taken but in general, you can find worse roads in Louisiana than in Alaska! 😉

[@GG-sj2wg]

You didn’t show or mention the rabbits in town?

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That was in our last video! The rabbits all around our campground were awesome! Thank you so much for watching!

[@tybysdad]

My wife just asked the question: Wondering if the girls when they choose, will be happy in a house, or if they will be restless and will continue to travel?

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It is a really tough question for even the girls to answer! I think Lily will always travel to some extent, but Leila will be more of a home body that will travel periodically. That is my prediction, but we shall see! So excited to see what God has for both of their lives!

[@CFD4c72]

Great video. What time of the year were you there?

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Mid august

[@LB-cv8wg]

How long do you think would be enough time to rv in Alaska

[@FindingOurSomeday]

@@LB-cv8wg I really depends on how much you want to do and see and how fast you want to travel up and back and to each location in between. You could absolutely kill it driving up and back though we really recommend that you experience the wonders of Canada if you can. They are right up there with everything that you will see in Alaska. Once you get to Anchorage, it is the central hub for how to get to all the points of interest out to the water. You could do it in a month but if you can we suggest 2. Leave states July 1 and head out of Alaska end of August getting back down to the states in early September. Really hope you are able to get up there SOMEDAY soon!

[@VernonWallace]

That blue doesn't really show up on camera. In person it looks like blue dye.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It is so hard to capture! It definitely isn't the same as seeing it in person, but we had to share with those who may never get to visit Alaska in their life times!

[@Edub1281]

I envy ur life

[@FindingOurSomeday]

After my (Jess') dad passed away at 53, we altered every part of our lives to find a way to live each moment while we can. It can be scary and unknown but leaving Maine and hitting the road for what we thought was just going to be a year, opened up a new world, a new business, and a new life for us and our girls. It was the best decision we have ever made!

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

Why the click bait titles? Thousands of people love you, and we will watch every episode with a title that just speaks to the area you are visiting.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

I wish it was that simple 🫤

[@annamaybeekman]

BEAUTIFUL I WATCHED LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE... REMEMBER WHEN MARISSA FOUND OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH J.J.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Our Time in Alaska 6 years ago and meeting LJMJ for the first time was so special! I will never forget crying with Marissa around the campfire when she told us she was pregnant! She had told Nathan right before she met us and hadn't even told their families yet! IT was so special! Thank you for watching!

[@JillSwords]

Don't you just want to lift your arms and praise God our Perfect Father?

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It’s just incredible!

[@jordancook1668]

No offense Dad, we still love you, but beautiful women and beautiful scenery = lots of views. Somebody had to say it.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It is just my lot in life, I guess! Thanks for watching!
