Crossing Texas is like taking Florida from the keys to Jacksonville! it’s endless!

[@christianoliver3572]

God Bless Texas!! We're happy y'all came to see us.

[@terireid651]

So glad Ethan is home safe. God bless our USMC.

[@candiceshreve4102]

So happy with everything you two vlog! My husband and I were married in Hawaii in 1999. I can't wait to see your experience especially on a cruise. Have a blessed journey!!

[@EECCTravels]

We are loving Hawaii so far!!

[@LauraOnTheMove]

The first stop has to be BUC-EES! Then you have lunch AND snacks for the rest of the trip 🍿

[@mchampion2525]

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!

[@NICKBOWERSweightlosswithnick]

I moved from Baton Rouge to Los Angeles. The best move I have ever made in my life!!

[@monicae67]

Well, I relocated from the Rotten Big Apple that is NYC to the Free Sunshine State that is Florida! That was the best move I ever made in my entire life!! Good luck in LA!

[@mimig6932]

Wow, you two have more energy than I don’t know what. Just off a cruise and now on the road again.

[@miriam123]

Hey you guys… I am born from Alexandria and now live 17 miles south of our rather change city and then y’all come busting out of Alexandria… and it gave me hope for our city. 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.

[@Wild1995]

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.

[@edvaira6891]

So glad you decided to visit my home county of San Diego (I live about ten miles south of Oceanside in Encinitas, California)

[@monicae67]

Well, this was entertaining!! Thanks for the ride!

[@vartank166]

[@suheinmoure1665]

[@dianejohnson6867]

Love your trip and experience. So glad you are enjoying my state of residence. I live in the desert, Palm Springs area. Yes, our gas today is $5.85 at Sam's and Costco.

[@saskatchewan66]

We are getting 14.6 in the Gem but we use the eco boost and the cruise control Works like a charm ….. Glad you’re at least getting 15 miles to the gallon with the Wind 💕 Enjoy family- Adventures- Thanks for taking us along on your trip

[@1981cchris]

Boy do I know that drive! We take longer than 48 hours though.

[@andreatuckman1084]

I love your van. You made the trip very interesting considering how boring it really is , lol. It’s so obvious how well suited you are for each other. Onward to Hawaii! See you there!

[@carolynadams1249]

Lol I drive our 21ft motorhome about 95% of the time, my husband loves taking in all the scenery. Don’t worry about driving a little slower on the turns and cliff area. We downsized a few years ago from a travel trailer and truck, love driving my motorhome.

[@katd7236]

I live in Monterey, CA no desert here. Glad you guys had a good trip.

[@benp3597]

Safe travels and you guy's are coming to my hometown of oceanside, California.

[@lisaanderson8235]

Woohoo for Ellie2! 😁👍👍❤️❤️

[@ricardojosemontoyatejada4710]

greetings from venezuela...i loved every minute of your trip,, i know california, and always impressed me ,the huge distances you have to drive inside the u.s. ,from point to point.but, with your new travato ,,is a piece of cake .

[@wmjohns881]

Years ago I drive my Honda Goldwing motorcycle non-stop from, Minnesota up Arizona stoping only for gas and to pee. I slept for two whole days upon my arrival home. Actually a thrilling ride. 🤠

[@superdave1949]

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!

[@stevenkeithcoulthard706]

Welcome to California!!!

[@DanielLukeFields]

the good old rocky mountains

[@davva360]

Just got back from a trip to Utah and the entire time I was there my nose was dried up. The minute I landed back in Florida it went away lol. Had a great time visiting Zion, Arches, Bryce, etc but my nose was glad to get home.

[@wendybledsoe973]

Buc-ee’s brisket sandwich is amazing. So is the club. We had to travel from St Louis to Atlanta & back on Christmas Day. Buc-ees was the only place on the road for “real” food. Yay Buc-ees!!! I hope y’all have a great trip!!

[@TheBuddyandlilly]

OMG did that sandwich look AMAZING

[@lizetearruda3196]

That is a long ways! We usually every winter drive down from Massachusetts to port Canaveral its a long ways also. 19 hours and 49 min it is long We do stop for the night in the middle somewhere. Your trip is even longer But for us that is the fun of it 🙂 Great adventure!

[@Jferriera5894]

I love Buc-ees! Banana pudding and chicken salad good too!

[@zadariafairy]

Love you guys it's Sally Wong from the Philippines and I love your Vid, I watch your 1st vid n OMG ! I'm Hoocked! And This is my 1st day watchin you guys 😘🥰😍 Take care always ❤

[@aaronbrownjr653]

[@ericawoodard807]

I'm a new subscriber. I'm from Biloxi, Mississippi. Y'all look like y'all had fun. 😊😊😊

[@jackieyarbrough4985]

Buc-ees is the best!👍🏻You should have gotten their homemade potato chips too. They are right next to the brisket section. Sooo good!

[@barbarashippy2365]

Welcome back to Oside and our wonderful gas prices! 😂 LA is even higher. Enjoy Hawaii! Can’t wait to see your trip! Enjoy.

[@theodoretoth2884]

You guys should come up the coast alittle to Orange County!!! Laguna beach is beautiful! Newport Beach is amazing and Huntington Beach is awesome to!! Great blog videos! Beautiful beaches awesome food!

[@richardl.fridrick1969]

We use to live in Alexandria, LA back in the early 2000's. We lived on Post Oak behind Super 1 Foods. I used to work at Cabrini.

[@jessicavaia2122]

Have a wonderful time in Hawaii. I’m sure you’ll love it I got married in Kauai all I can say it’s just so beautiful. Love your road trips.

[@ronaldbernier462]

You two are so fun to watch….Go Buc-ee’s.

[@slynn4530]

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!

[@EECCTravels]

Ahh, thanks for this!

[@Gods4Horsemen]

Thank you so much for sharing. You don't know how much it makes a shut in like me a reason to keep living. I so miss my deceased husband and best friend we did everything together. We dreamed of doing this together. I still do.

[@monicae67]

😢

[@boatrvme8478]

I was in Ft. Worth last week in my Solis Pocket and it was 106 deg! 💥

[@EECCTravels]

Oh wow! We came up North to Michigan and it’s a lovely 70 degrees. Our family is jealous.

[@mmmManzella]

Saw you at a hotel in San Diego last month! Wanted to say hi and thanks for your videos but I didn’t want to disturb y’all.

[@andrear9761]

Wow… not too bad . I have a small Kia SUV and it coast me about the same to fill up here in Cali ! Not bad but a lot better than the old RV for sure .

[@eyecandie2004]

Nice!

[@Untschuss]

Don’t forget to stop over and visit Temecula - there is some pretty friendly wineries to vlog from. Let us know.. travel safe!

[@brianleblancart736]

Great, now I'm cravin' a brisket sammich!

[@lynnepollack7991]

My son's 1st stuffed Elephant was named Ellie. We lost her. I got a new stuffed Elephant. We named her Ellie B. Instead of(1,2,3) We are doing (A,B,C). If you like the idea you can call your van Ellie B.

[@gregoryhelm4230]

Thanks for sharing the trip...Are we going to get a NEW VAN tour sometime? OR did I miss it somewhere? Safe and happy travels 🥰 p.s. I live in Texass 😂 for now anyway. And yeah it stays light till 9:00 Houston area. California weather is definitely the best. I wouldn't think Alyssa would like it because there's NO humidity.

[@budgetfamilyadventures8391]

Jason, you look like a little kid pulled up to the table...lol. Alyssa, that quesadilla looks great..
