[@lotgotbegotsmith1237]

You have such a special way of sharing your travel stories. I've enjoyed them for years. We went to LA a year ago and went all the way up the west coast, inspired by your trip a few years ago. I'd love to go back it was the best family holiday we have ever done. xxx

[@katie_ellison]

Thank you so much, I really love making these videos, they are for our memories more than anything so the fact other people enjoy them too makes me really happy. x

I cannot wait to watch your Joshua Tree vlog, your insta content there looked amazing!

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks so much Cerys, yes I am excited to get that one edited and up! It was one of the coolest places I have ever been :)

[@dixieboo9351]

Your vlogs are great! My teenagers often ask me what I’m watching and I tell them ‘people I don’t know on their holidays’ !! xx

[@katie_ellison]

Haha it is weird how we do that isn't it!!? I am the same, I love watching you tube videos. x

[@Letitia-Smith]

Hope you all had an incredible holiday, hope the kids enjoyed their summer holidays & they enjoy their first day back in school 💗💙xxx

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks so much we had a lovely holiday. I can’t believe it’s back to school time soon xx

[@Letitia-Smith]

@@katie_ellisonYou’re welcome, so so glad you enjoyed it:)) I know yes, it’s gone so quickly. Some of the schools here in Ireland are back already but they finished up in June 💗💙😱xxx

[@63Littlemouse]

Katie The Queen of Travel Vlogs ! Thank you so much for taking us along on your California Road Trip, very much enjoy how you curate your trips, including all the fun things you do & see, meals you try, recommendations & suggestions etc all wrapped up in the joy of the children & funny quirks eg "going to have to Google that" 😜 Looking forward to Part 2 🥰 xx

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks so much lovely for such a nice comment. I really enjoy editing them so I am glad you enjoyed watching. We had so much fun in LA. xx

[@sunsets.starlight]

I genuinely love your travel videos so much! I don't really use Instagram anymore so this was such a fun surprise in my inbox

[@katie_ellison]

Ah thanks so much for watching and sorry for the late reply, sometimes you tube doesn’t notify me when I’ve had comments. Part 2 coming really soon. 😍

[@sarahyoung9173]

Another great travel vlog. The air bnb in LA looks amazing and the pancakes looked yummy. I wish our shops looked like that, it's so pretty 😍 I would love to visit the bookstore one day xx

[@katie_ellison]

The pancakes were so good and our airbnb was lovely. Yes I so wish we had bookshops like that in the UK. 🥰

[@sarahmitchell3290]

ADORE THIS!!

[@katie_ellison]

Ah thank you Sarah! x

[@carrieannestevenson6991]

I’m impatiently waiting for the next part of your trip vlog!! We’ve just booked a nearly identical trip for next august!

[@katie_ellison]

Ah thanks so much I’ve had a bit of an issue with the footage as my hard drive decided to break 🤪 but I’m hoping the second part will come soon. How exciting you’ve booked a trip.

[@carrieannestevenson6991]

@@katie_ellisonoh no!! Well i look forward to watching it when you get chance! Yes, im so excited! We’re doing almost the same as you minus Zion. Can I just ask, did you need a national parks pass for visiting sequoia forest?

[@erinsmith3000]

Katie this is bringing back all the feels. I’ve just returned from a month trip travelling the west coast and me and my now husband got married in Vegas. We ended in LA, we loved it!! Can’t wait to watch…hope you had the best time xxx

[@katie_ellison]

Oh wow how amazing congratulations Erin! It's such a cool part of the world isn't it? We loved it! Hope you had an amazing time. x

[@emilymason4827]

Yah!!! I’ve been looking forward to this 😊 Looks all lovely Katie - when we stayed last year in LA we stayed right opposite The Grove and The Farmers Market at a fab little hotel called Short Stories…x x x

[@katie_ellison]

Ooh that sounds lovely Emily, the hotel even sounds cool, I love that name. We loved our time in LA. Can't wait to edit the next ones, they are so good for reliving happy memories. x

[@emilymason4827]

@@katie_ellison it was very cool - whilst we were there they had a collaboration with Netflix in the restaurant called Netflix Bites..:chefs from different Netflix shows had curated menus x x

[@mandysaich2855]

Really enjoyed part 1 when’s part2 😊x

[@Izzy-dr4zf]

Love the vlog !! I am a nervous one when it come to flight after a bad flight … how do you deal with your nerves ? Would love to take my son to New York ❤

[@katie_ellison]

I can't really help as I am honestly one of the most nervous flyers! But I just adore seeing the world and travelling and so I just try and not let my fears get the better of me, it is hard though, flying makes me so anxious. Sorry that was no help at all haha.

[@darklordbiebs9503]

We loved LA when we went, we did Venice Beach, Universal, etc like you but you found some great places we didn't go to. I actually think I preferred Universal Hollywood to the Florida one.

[@katie_ellison]

Ooh thats interesting, I still I think I probably ever so slightly just preferred Universal Studios Florida just cause I feel like it is more of an experience, getting to go on the Hogwarts Express to the different parks etc and because it is bigger but then I like Universal Studios Hollywood because it is small. It was perfect for a day, I felt like we got everything done we wanted and if we had 2 days we could have spent a little more time enjoying it at a slower pace, but it is still easy enough to get everything you want to do done in a day.

[@emmab8911]

Can you please let me know where you parked when you walked to the Hollywood sign xx

[@katie_ellison]

The address is on the video :)

[@emmab8911]

Loving your trip we are going next August, did you find parking ok in LA? We are staying in Anaheim

[@katie_ellison]

Yes parking was ok generally but driving in LA is a nightmare 😂

[@user-zj8sv9er9i]

Kids must have been bored stiff with all that driving

[@katie_ellison]

Not sure what’s boring at all about driving around the US on holiday, seeing the sights, chatting to your family and having quality family time but we are all different :)
