FIRST 48 HOURS ON THE COAST (not what we planned)

[@nancyheneghan4760]

Don’t apologize for coming down with anything. We are not disappointed in anything you all do. We are along for the ride no matter what. Your health is most important.

[@mawmawboo1]

Exactly! Get yourselves well first and then you can worry about videos. We are not going anywhere.

[@JimmyandNatalie]

We're really glad to have such an awesome and supportive community 😊 We really appreciate it! 💚 Jimmy and I took the next few days off taking it easy and honestly feel so much better now! The first few days were definitely the worst, but I think that's behind us now!

[@eyebsammy]

If you make it inland of California. I'm in the central valley. Where all the Oranges grow. My mom & I have a nice driveway to park in, water to fill your tank up & electricity to charge up if needed. Also a clean shower. I would suggest the monumental giant redwoods just up the mountain from us, but there is snow. Might be able to get up there.

[@donnawarmouth9329]

My goodness you guys need to just worry about yourselves. Hope you all are feeling better.

[@leeS04]

God Bless you both. Never apologize for being I’ll.

[@HaroldMalaby]

Catalina a must. Morrow Bay. Hurst Castle, Solvang, Any and all Missions along the coast. Alvera Street, Alcatraz just to name a few.

[@warrendelay]

It shows how caring and courteous to others you are by not wanting to be around people in case you are contagious. And if it WAS covid, no shame in it, (your symptoms were on mark for covid) your young and strong, and awesome.

[@lorraineeagle4009]

Aww sweeties Sending lots of big Hugs, Love and Prayers that you both feel better and get to enjoy your days. Love and Blessings

[@nealjohnson1461]

If you all are still in the Bay area do head out to Point Reyes Nat. Seashore and Lighthouse.

[@alvincoston2051]

Always happy to experience your traveling. Exceedingly happy to know that y’all are recovering. Wishing you guys the best… ☺️

[@hapnewsom9217]

it may be too late, but if you're in the Napa Sonoma area...there's a great Museum in Santa Rosa the Charles M Shultz museum ( of Charley Brown Fame). WELL worth the visit! Also Bodega Bay on the coast is where the movie THE BIRDS was made! and there's a great research Lab there as well (My daughter did her Phd work there) that's worth a visit and the views of the Pacific are AWESOME

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Ah we’re out of the area now, but we’ll try and remember that for the next time we come through this direction! That all sounds very cool!

[@redsnowplow7985]

Jimmy and Nat...no need to apologize for things not going as planned. Life happens to all of us and that's just the way it is. Focus on getting better and staying healthy and we'll see y'all on the next one. Much love and blessings!

[@mikemiller8021]

Take care of yourself kiddo, we enjoy all your videos.

[@vannesareay9435]

No need to apologize. Just take care and get well. ❤

[@cadence9055]

We get sick sometimes wherever we are so why not is an incredible place?!! The views and fresh coastal air is good! Thanks for being so open even when you probably didn't want the camera in your face! I'm loving your reactions to seeing new things! 💕

[@JimmyandNatalie]

Very true! 😊 We probably could not have picked a prettier place to get over the flu for a few days 😄

[@corysvanlife]

I have heard the flu is going around like crazy right now!! I hope you guys are back to feeling 100% soon!! Those views though were AMAZING!! I cannot wait until I can open my back doors to views like that!!

[@JimmyandNatalie]

We've been hearing the same thing! We have not gotten this sick in a LONG time... but luckily we're feeling much better! And glad you like the views! They're even better in person! We can't wait for you to experience it too!

[@dgrforfreedom61]

Pray you are both getting better. 🙏

[@carolbrockmeier3679]

Feel better. It's fun to see how much you appreciate your experiences.

[@rhondazappalewis3685]

Get well soon you 2.... See y'all next week.

[@lauralarson3490]

Best get well tip, is Sleep & Rest. It's healing just to walk barefoot, along the beaches. Breathing in the Ocean air.Your on the west coast, so take advantage of the many Farmer Markets out there. A great quick recipe "Peanut Butter Ramen Bowl 🍜 ", (you can make it basic or add additional ingredients). Buy those Ramen Noodles packs. Throw away the chemical process spice /flavoring packets inside. Instead, Use chicken / beef broth, or Ramen / Pho broth. There are so many KZbin recipes out there. Many Vanlifer vloggers has done a version of this recipe as well. There are many places to visit around outside San Francisco Area, without need for wine tasting.

[@alandugan9310]

Wait til you feel better but absolutely finish the goals!!!

[@justlookin3]

Evidently, traffic and construction make it harder to get to places around San Francisco. Good luck and good health, too. Thanks for sharing.

[@francishughes7809]

Love the videos thank you for 2in 1 week. Keep going this way u two will be fine!

[@blessedveteran]

You guys sure did get lucky on the clearness of SF. I'm happy for you two ☺️ . Don't worry about others, worry about your health.

[@c.victoriaritchie3466]

You don't need to apologize, everyone gets sick you can't help it! Hope you both feel better soon 🙏❤️🤗😊

[@sandrageries5219]

You guys mentioned that people were looking into your van as they walked by…that’s because it’s incredibly beautiful. You guys did a great job, now it’s time to enjoy the compliments! Hope you both feel better soon.

[@bunnybea73]

The overlook you stayed at in Sausalito, overlooking the houseboats on the bay is awesome! FYI, the old classic Otis Redding song Sitting on the dock of the Bay was written on one of those houseboats when Otis visited way back when. Glad you enjoyed yourselves, even while sick. ❤.

[@annchargualaf4990]

Hope you both feel better enjoy your adventurers be safe take care

[@paulsherman6450]

Definitely no need to apologize for getting sick. But the views were beautiful in the video. I hope you both feel better soon. Just take care of yourselves and we will be here when you get back into the swing of things.

[@jamesorendorff2731]

Glad your both feeling better ...no need to apologize ....at all Your spot next to the GG bridge ...I'm totally a local (75 yrs. young) I go there to take a break sometimes ...and watch the tourists marveling at the bridge... I'm recognizing all your shots ...I know it's not possible ...but I'd love to show you all the cool places to check out .that you'd never find on your own ...can you name the towns or beaches etc where you are or planning on going to ...it's funny to watch your channel and see my stomping grounds on my phone Try driving through some of the local towns... Mill valley Corta Madera Larkspur San Anselmo Fairfax Anyway have fun take your time Oh ..in Fairfax there is a van building and repair place in case you need any repairs or anything ❤️🙏

[@Spaznaut1]

Love that you show the good and bad sides. Flu has run rampant this year. I've rarely gotten the flu and it has made its rounds through our household. Be safe and hope you all are back to 100 percent quickly.

[@angelamurphy3331]

Boil lemons honey cloves and cinnamon and that will help you both. Stay safe and hugs to you both ! 🍀😺💚😺🍀🍀

[@kbosslady2]

I'm glad to see you all at least feeling a little better...take care , you guys are so sweet...

[@sandra-sm2qk]

Hope both of u feel better soon.

[@tonycabreros184]

Hi Jimmy/Natalie, the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge view point, you could stay there overnight for free at the parking lot. The only drawback is you have to drive from south end across the bridge to the overlook area.

[@walkpastime778]

Canʻt wait for you two to visit the Oregon Coast! Ruby Beach, Canon Beach and olympic national park.

[@swidyditcha6612]

Get to feeling better road squad!

[@jonnie3112]

If you are still in northern California try to stop by the Redwood National forest and the California state parks which have the HUGE trees. December 22, 2022

[@anneparrish2247]

Always good to hang with you. Hope you both will be feeling better soon. It must be hard to be sick in a van. The photos in this Video are awesome to this east coast girl. Rest, eat your greens 💕

[@tamararummel2027]

I'm sorry that you are both sick. There's a flu bug going around everywhere. I hope y'all are better real soon, sending prayers 🙏

[@tammycruz8189]

Get well soon no need to a apologize guys it happens . Safe Travels Always

[@MelissaMalzahn]

Natalie feel better. Isn't the coast line so amazing. Carmel, Monterey Bay, Big Surf. Safe travels.

[@poges]

Love San Fran. We've cruised into that port and it's beautiful. Loved seeing the bridges. Get well soon kids.

[@natalierice6528]

Glad you are feeling better. Onward and upward! I had a little sinus thing before Thanksgiving, didn’t feel bad at all. I took a Covid test because we had family visiting and it was positive. I was shocked! I had none of the standard symptoms. No idea where I picked it up from and thank God none of the family caught it. There’s just so much going around. Looking forward to your next CA installment.

[@jamescox857]

You 2 are awesome. Thank you for the great video’s. Jimbo

[@angelamurphy3331]

I did Alkatraz many years ago while staying with my aunt. It was an amazing trip going over to it by boat. 🍀😺💚😺🍀🍀

[@bentelog2823]

never drink any water from the mountains, ull never know there is residential or dump site nearby. also boil and filter it 1st if decided for drinking.

[@gaiarpatorn1828]

I agree. I froze when I saw Natalie drink that water. It might make them sick.

[@lyndalabine2875]

From the bottom of my heart thank you for the awesome Golden Gate shots…I got teary eyed seeing them… I miss my hometown so you visiting there is thrilling and sentimental for me…..the city welcomed you with a beautiful clear day….a rarity during this time of year when fog is the norm….you saw her at her best….a great video…❤

[@melissahoffman4687]

Take care of each other, and keep enjoying yourselves.

[@JW-jl8iq]

Make sure you checkout Lombard street

[@brlowe1]

Get heathy. You guys are great. Have fun doing your California experience.

[@tracykrueger1096]

Take care. Glad you are feeling a little better.

[@kathyhays9819]

Hope you both get to feeling better. Your bodies are telling you it’s ok to slow down and rest and then enjoy

[@AnnettesVanTease]

What a great spot to see Golden gate. Amazing view.

[@gwenrowe2721]

You guys drink plenty of fluids. Rest then enjoy and have fun. We will all be here .

[@christinebutler7139]

Take care, lots of lemon and honey drinks and snuggle up, get better soon guys.

[@stevenannett1739]

There is not a more Gorgeous drive than the drive along the ocean in California! Enjoy it guys! We def did,,

[@chaosplan]

A couple casual places in Napa that might be fun for you: Gotts - wildly popular burgers Oakville Market - a popular spot with cheese, wine, sandwiches.

[@SJS-1284]

Healing coming you way looks like you found some nice spots to sleep

[@justifiedbyHisblood]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Natalie

[@justifiedbyHisblood]

And Jimmy too sorry I sent that comment before I finished watching the video

[@JimmyandNatalie]

@@justifiedbyHisblood Aw thanks! 😊

[@dsbmwhacker]

Sorry you kids got sick.😭 We're fighting the same "bug" I think.🤧 Enjoy CA and just be aware of your surroundings. We've "vanned" around S. Cal. over the years. It has become much more "RV Unfriendly" over the past few years. IF you get to San Diego check iOverlander for the spots near the Airport and on the Bay...."Harbor Island Street Parking" 🤗

[@steveo601]

The most beautiful coastline in the world and my home state!!! Will take a while to see the entire state but worth it!!!

[@juniperwildflowers]

I'm literally here watching this in bed with covid so this was a nice pick me up ironically! I always wear a mask too, there's just so much crud going around right now I think everyone is sick with something. I appreciate how you always find a way to have a good time without complaining. I hope y'all feel better soon!

[@rockercover]

Glad you have a new van with new brakes in or near San Francisco.

[@jimg2885]

Jimmy and Natalie sorry your first 48 hours in Ca. you didn't feel good. Glad you are feeling better. Have to say you two are very considerate saying you are not going wine tasting because of being potentially contagious. The flu is going around the bay area. We live in the area and lots of people have had the flu. The coast is very pretty and if in San Francisco you should find some fresh crab as I saw your list that had imitation crab written on it. Not while by the coast 🙂 Don't know if you have been along the Oregon coast but that is beautiful also. Wish we would have been able to meet you two in person. We are retired and love watching you kids as we call you. Yes you are kids to us. We hope you both feel back to 100% real soon. Take care and enjoy the views along the coast. Are you guys going to travel the coast to Monterey and then down towards Pismo Beach? Safe travels and enjoy the coastal areas..

[@jamesorendorff2731]

Oh hey...just an after thought... while in SFO ...when you park and walk around ... warning ⚠️ your van Will probably be broken onto .." smash and grab" no law and order here ...just be aware... don't leave anything valuable or important I don't want you to have any problems ...your better off in Marin county ...luv you guys 🙏❤️

[@jereschweitzer9195]

You both start feeling better and enjoying yourself

[@daviduribe3111]

Otis Redding wrote "Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay" while vacationing on a houseboat in Sausalito, near the Golden Gate Bridge. 😎

[@kathythorene5873]

Take care of yourselves and hope you feel better soon.

[@noelswan]

Check out the tour of Alcatraz. Go through The Maze. Drive up and down Russian Hill area.

[@hapnewsom9217]

And I am with you Natalie...LOOOOVE the lime!

[@badgerpa9]

Glad you are feeling better. Just wondering about the fresh veges, sometimes they can have things on them if they are not washed really well. Stay safe and healthy.

[@heatherfewell]

This video made me very homesick! I moved to the midwest a few years ago and miss California so much! Very happy to see you guys there. And California has the best produce!

[@cathykilpinen8188]

No worries you two....everybody gets sick sometimes...just glad you are on the mend

[@wegottafishdude]

🤘🏻😎🤘🏻 Awesome stuff guys Get better soon 🤙🏻

[@susanalario3836]

Hope you both feel better soon. Enjoyed what little you were able to do. Catch you on the next one.👍👍👍

[@willar7179]

Just discovered this channel so I’m watching some of the older ones. It’s scary being sick when you’re in a strange place, but at least you had each other. A few years ago I spent the night in front of that Coast Guard station at the foot of the bridge. I’m a lot less stealthy than you and no one bothered me. Things change fast!

[@EatonBeaver123]

glad you are feeling better! i hate to be the downer but a bathroom in the van would be a great addition

[@mikeanderson6522]

Feel better. When traveling stop and take recovery day or 2. Recharge for next adventure.

[@ginap4386]

Love your videos! Rest and feel better.

[@rosemarycameron3594]

Gorgeous scenery! Years ago, I got the chance to ride bikes from Fisherman's Wharf to the Golden Gate Bridge, it was fantastic, lot of hills! So glad you both are feeling better 💝🙏🥰🤗

[@briandavis9975]

Wow that look awesome brother great choice my friend yes put the other one over the bed nice work you are almost there buddy's can't wait to see your journey get started.

[@patireland3345]

14.03 - yes, we have seen that view. At least you had some interesting views. Hope you feel great soon.

[@samydamico9843]

Love that you are enjoying the coast! Hope you are better and enjoying our state. Couple of places along the coast: Pismo Beach, Solvang (outside of Santa Barbara), anywhere in San Diego just to start. 😊

[@HSTWXMAN]

Glad you are feeling better.

[@mikemanjo2458]

It's always great to see you both. I'm sorry for the issue. Y'all are both so great! Beautiful views...so different from the Atlantic! ❤ 🙏 Stay safe and feel better! Love from SC, Jane

[@dashexplore]

Omg that view of the Golden Gate Bridge out of the back of your van 😍😍 I’ve run over the bridge on both of my trips there but y’all’s view was amazing!!

[@derekiwanczuk2867]

So sorry you’re both not feeling well just hope you’re both well soon take care.

[@tracyrichmond-pshyk8863]

Glad you’re both feeling better. Being sick while travelling sucks.

[@rakereldridge6210]

It was nice seeing California again. I haven't been there since 2006. I recognized many spots. So sorry you were sick. Hope you're better quickly. Another couple I follow got sick their first night traveling to Florida. Must be something in the air. Ha! Your salad looked amazing!

[@snow_job]

For a minute I thought I had really overslept and it was Monday.

[@cynthiadickey3055]

Well we all know men are always sick the worst .hope you both recover fully and get some rest

[@danielruel5099]

Thank you for sharing sending love your way hope you feel better soon ❤

[@shannonwhiting6668]

Ya' all just made me a little homesick. I love San Francisco and have so many memories of that area! Enjoy!!!

[@flynnstone3580]

Powell Street is an experience every tourist should see. Especially when you're not expecting it.

[@xwasp58]

Take Care . Get well Soon

[@lovedfriend2020]

5:52 funny Jimmy :) Nate, you sounded sick and not your chipper self but I glad you pushed on. People would of missed you in the video. Get well soon
