5 Tips for Niagara Falls and Toronto on Bikes (Ep 14: Full time RV Family)

In this episode, we leave Grand Haven Michigan and head to Ontario Canada. We stay the night in Hamilton to put us in good position to visit Niagara Falls for the day. Then we drive to Toronto to explore the city on bike. After a bit of a scare on our bike ride, we learned our lesson about keeping all our eggs in one basket. We also had a great dinner at Maki My Way and highly recommend.

I legit cracked up at the liters vs gallons. The excitement and the letdown were classic!

[@rvlifestyle9469]

Glad to see your bag was still there ! Welcome to Canada ! we dont all steal hehe

[@BenNstyle]

I know from experience how you felt Marc! Even after finding my backpack, the sickening feeling in my stomach still stayed with me for the rest of the day. Thankful for honest people still left in this world.

[@pattysternjacob731]

Sooooo SCARY. I am so glad you found your backpack!!! 😧 My heart was racing. I love watching you guys bike through the cities. Makes me wish I were young again. You guys crack me up!! You have no fear. Love the group pic. I cannot wait for your videos. They could be 30 minutes and I wouldn't care.....seriously. Travel safe. Keep smiling. 😊

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Always enjoy your comments :) I've been making the videos a little longer to include more things, but still like to keep them snappy. Yes, when only get nervous when thinking about what's next. When we get there... we just figure it out. So far so good!

[@jojogiannino6974]

The suggestion to ride bikes in cities is spot on except for bike unfriendly cities like Boston - my hometown. Love you guys!

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

I love the Marc and Tori Tips! I was on the American side and it was fun. I like what you say at the beginning, the drive is the important part of it. Make your trip great, make those memories. I love you guys!

[@princessknowled]

Wow what a close call with the backpack What a blessing that it was there waiting for you

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Great video. I too know just how you felt about your missing backpack. Thank goodness it was where you left it. My hubby and I just purchased electric bikes. Looking forward to riding around the campgrounds. Need to do some cities too.

[@MT-xl8jy]

In 67 went to the worlds fair by same boat , always got fireworks in kingston, bellevue was where we made landfall after crossing Ontario. So many memories brought back. Thank you so much!!💛

[@jimmcfee8534]

If you see a classic GMC Motorhome give it a honk, if its named Bullitt honk twice because its us, if you can get back to Ontario you have to go to the Muskokas, Ontario has hundreds of thousands of lakes( not kidding) so fishing and boating in cottage country is the best. Of boating is something you like than we also have a canal system from Kingston up to Superior. Take care and love your videos

[@dianemilligan7370]

Love these rev travel Vlogs! I can so identify with your missing your back pack and panicking trying to find it - So Happy it was safe in Ginger. Good humor and Wonderful family!

[@tammyscully879]

Thank you for sharing the reality of life on the road and not just the "good stuff". Humility is humbling and the TRUE REALITY. Safe travels.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thx. Defiantly hard to record during the "reality" parts. But I know now the regret of not have the footage to share what really happened. Thx for the comment.

[@tammyscully879]

Your family is wonderful... if ever in sc mo... looking to float the rivers.. and several other appealing adventures (your kids would adore)... please keep in touch. Have a hobby farm with livestock and yes... hookups. Hub and I are planning out ft adventure several years from now (I understand the internet connection for work). So for now... I live through your adventures. Thanks again.

[@pmroveda]

Your videos are by far the best. You’re entertaining, great editing, Great music, (thank you Marc for suggesting Shazam). Just everything. You’ve covered all the bases.

[@wandashufelt3667]

Canada is so well kept and beautiful!

[@MT-xl8jy]

Grew up in rochester across the lake, visited toronto every summer, docked the boat (same old chris craft you rode on) but in 72 we were pimping! 😆 on center island, no cars allowed, rangers on horseback great beach for our big red dog shannon to chase the geese. Best memories of my childhood. Ok back to your vids!

[@franknovella2345]

I think you were saying it correctly, c'est délicieux= its delicious and thumps up for embarrassing backpack moment and litters to gallon gas confusion..too funny!!!

[@harrynickel8691]

Thanks! Stay Calm and RV On. Cathy & Harry

[@tinasalicco-jackson7925]

Ontario resident here! So glad you mentioned how uneventful the Falls are. My hubby and I have brought our kids there a couple of times and each time we are incredibly confused about what people find fascinating lol. Definitely need to enjoy the journey before anything else.

[@mrsmatt2010]

I am now inspired to go across the boarder!

[@0HARE]

That backpack thing? Yeah, done that. Bike exploring is the way to go. Also, serendipity and going with the flow is the best, but, like you explained, it takes a bit of practice to get comfortable with that level of looseness. Great Expectations

[@Paradisegirl58]

You guys are so fun!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks JoAnne! Appreciate the comment :)

[@JS-cs8gz]

At first my gut dropped as you biked in black-n-white back to the trailer. I love the sight of the backpack sitting on the grass in front of Ginger's door. What a relief!!Also, I think the less thought out plans can make for the best of times. You guys are doing great!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks John! I did my best to illustrate how panicked I was With both our wallets in the bpack and my phone... it would have been quite an ordeal to get everything sorted out. Part of the reason my mind went black (in hind sight) is because I never put the backpack on the first place. Its like the last 20 min of my life was missing from my memory. Crazy. Good lesson.

[@Yveswife]

I started watching your back episodes. Being from Canada I loved this episode. I had to laugh at the smelling of the money. Don’t worry about the gas. I have no idea how to figure out gas prices in the us when we travel.

[@katg2187]

Hey good share ! I hope everyone who's planning a trip could see "the back pack scare." Check and double Check every time.

[@amypletcher4411]

The food you made for dinner was soo simply and very delicious!! Your version of shepherds pie, French salad dish, and your chicken tacos!! Yum!! It is VERY replicable for our pup camper gear!! Love it!!!!!

[@garydecker3281]

Love these early videos with all the ups and downs.

[@keithbyerly9207]

we did the boat, we did the speed boat in the Rapids, the inside the falls, we did the trolley over the whirlpool, each with there own memories and I had kinda forgot you guys brought all back.😎 Thanks

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's great! Wish we would have spent more time there. We didn't know about the hike until we ran out of time. That would have been up our ally.

[@brandonwalksto3560]

That is the nice thing about new cars you can change the computer from KMH to MPH

[@bobcrispycritterrv2706]

We did the falls in 2018. Highlight of the trip was the Maid of the Mist. So Cool!!

[@sherryperryman3495]

I had to rewind to show my husband the backpack drama since he left his iPad on the hood of my car yesterday. It flew up and caught in the wipers his good luck too! I really enjoy watching all the fun.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Omg. So glad it worked out for the both of us! Good to hear from you!

[@RinaMeyers]

OK...really enjoying BINGE WATCHING , BUT feeling sad for when I catch up and have to wait for a weekly video!!!

[@benoitfontaine899]

I just looked at this old episode, it was very funny! I can't wait to see you in MTL.

[@JamesPhieffer]

Just catching up on some older episodes and saw this. I'm actually from Belleville, and was living there at the time, so I know there's a few options for RV parking overnight, like the Quinte Mall, Walmart, or down by the harbour. I trust you found a spot.

[@JeanieWalker33]

I am literally drooling here!!! We just transitioned fulltime in our RV 2 months ago. We have an 8 month plan to be debt free and hit the road. Canada is on the list! Love the bikes!!! Your right about Niagara Falls. They should have a shirt that say's " I went to Niagara Fall's and got wet!" Lol

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Great plan! RV living can defiantly be cheaper than traditional living if you stick to the plan. :) 2 months is right around the corner. I remember being 60 days away! Check out the podcast. So many good RV episodes. It was very helpful for us to hear successful stories of people who made it happen and what obstacles they overcame. Thx for the comment.

[@YahushasDisciple]

Oh Marc, the adrenaline dump from the panic of “losing” your backpack must’ve been enormous. Glad you found it!

[@hughtruex]

Man, I love you guys! Great stuff.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Hugh! Making these videos are fun and we're enjoying the KZbin community.

[@rich2034]

You guys have way more guts than I do...I'm a retired truck driver and I would not even think about taking my trailer into some of the places you have gone with yours.... Again great video thx.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lol. Wait till you see the "3 point turn" in Vermont. More like 9. Only time I drove to a dead end! We're in NYC now, but left Ginger up state.

[@rich2034]

Yikes! Well at least you have 'spotters' :) I've been in NYC with a 53' trailer ...not fun at all!

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

The falls and Toronto looked great! Glad your backpack was still there! Thank you for sharing!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Me too! I no longer leave my External hard drive in my backpack. I can get new credit cards and phone, but can't go back and get footage from the previous month or two! I would like to back-up more, but it's hard to back-up the amount of terabytes I'm accumulating.

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

I'm sure it is! You seem to film alot! Thank you for replying!

[@MaxLYoungblood]

New subscriber. Great channel. This episode reminded me of are 10 year anniversary 8-9 years ago. My top 2 tips would be...1. The Maid of the Mist boat tour too the base of the falls, was par with seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. 2. All you can eat buffet at the casinos. We joined as new members which was free, and were given free meals and lots of other benefits.

[@leebarker4207]

Wow my wife follows you guys it's so cool that we drive and or walk by every day the places you showed in your video, for some reason on her iPad it did not give the option to comment so I was asked to take her dictation lol she loves you guys we are gearing to be full time class A in 4-5 years!

[@ReRe-pp5mz]

thanks for sharing your trip. I feel like I'm traveling with you. seeing great things through your lens!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Marie. That's exactly why we do this!

[@sjalmeha]

I got so inspired by a class C motorhome traveler with an Arizona license plate in Jumeirah beach, Dubai boondocking on front of my house with many of places he visited during his world trip (Oval City Stickers) around the world. I wanted to invite him next day but he was already left and i wish if can meet him. And you'll inspired me too with this trip that i had been watching on youtube, and i would love to have the same adventure you all having for this Summer (Fall). I just got my first travel trailer and i'm so glad i had it, i been few times to flagstaff and next weekend probably to Show Low. In Fall break i'll start with Yellowstone National Park. I like it when you say recently you don't have plans even for sleeping tonight, that's sounds like me ... lol, I would love to meet you guys when you're coming back to Arizona i'm so excited on this. have a nice trip and enjoy

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks for the comment Saeed. Inspiring others to do the same is why we share our travels on KZbin. Paying it forward from all the KZbin we've watched from our home! Keep in touch! Thanks for the comment.

[@lorinevel4395]

The journey is the destination most the time.

[@justnic1946]

Just found you guys and I'm catching up on your videos. I'm from Hamilton! My wife and I will take taking a year off of work in 4 years when our daughter is older to travel the US in our travel trailer. Love all your most recent tips and must haves!

[@dirtroadsailing6418]

I watched your comments on HaveWindWillTravel. You two are very intelligent and enjoyable to watch. I'm looking forward to your next adventure!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Hey Thanks! Always learning. Thx for the comment.

[@lougoncalvesmedia]

Great video. I live in a suburb of Toronto and you guys had lot's more you could have seen, but, that's the RV life!! Am I right? Cheers and thanks for sharing your adventures, you guys are amazing!!

[@caroleingram3175]

Welcome to Canada

[@inspired_by_bimmer267]

When I and my family moved to Ireland we had similiar situation like You when you put some petrol in liters and you thought that the price is for gallon .Oldest cars in Ireland had a speedometer in miles/h, but all speed sings on the road are in km/h.Some of the cars has a two info on speedometer I mean km/h and miles/h but new car`s have just speedometers are km/h.And yes Garda(Police) catch me for speeding hahaha.I didn`t cross speed to much but I forgot that the speedo is in miles not in kilometers hahaha.

[@blancaalvarez5769]

😮😮😮😮😮😨😨😨😨😨😨thank god you found it!!!!😢 i must admit though, it is so cool that you filmed the whole thing!!! it was just so raw, scary, i was literally watching with my hand in my mouth holding my breath....it was scary but cool to watch😮........❤

[@sashaplayzz2062]

I went here it was so fun I saw the cn tower niagra falls and more

[@sashaplayzz2062]

It was so cold

[@Brineytoes]

Great episode! I'm watching this on Sept. 10, 2018! I love Toronto and all of Canada. They are wonderful hosts.

[@MURRAY0913]

Love all of your videos. We missed you by about a week as we were also at Niagara Falls. Our home town is Regina,Saskatchewan. Hope you made it to Banff and Jasper ,Alberta as it is so beautiful there. We may get a truck this year and star travelling with our 26 foot 5 th wheel. Take care and safe travels.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We love meeting new people! Would have been great. But the vlog runs a month or sometimes two behind, so it might have been longer. We were in Niagara Falls on Aug 1-5. With a 26' 5er... you could drag with a half ton? Hope to see you on the road!

[@jimmcfee8534]

One thing you forgot, your gallon is smaller than ours, we have imperial and are a little larger. We have a classic GMC Eleganza 2 that's been all across Canada and we were caught wondering why we were getting almost 20% better miles per gallon compared to our american friends - so much for thinking its down to my pro driving style. Love your videos, we have added a GoPro for our trip to Vancouver so we don't miss anything

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Sweet. That's good news. We'll be in BC soon.

[@SchnuffiJames]

Thanks for the video 😀

[@TinManisbugginout]

That's awesome. I love all of your videos but this one was just so fun. I love that you all are still smiling too. Be well, travel safe.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Tin Man - Great name. We loved Toronto. Because it wasn't initially a selected destination (because we were not sure which way around the lake we would go to Montreal) we only spend a few hours there. At the same time, we felt like we covered a lot of ground. City speed dating.

[@jtemple42]

My family went on a 30 day road/camping trip when I was about 15 (1995ish). It was the first trip that I remember that we generally didn't have any specific plans day to day other than in 3 days we need to be in Flagstaff, AZ, if 4 more days we need to be in Las Vegas, NV, etc... We meet so many good people, both locals and other travelers. Just like you, we found that we had the most fun doing things that weren't really planned ahead of time, but by doing things that were suggested by the people we met at each campground we stayed at. My wife and I are planning on buying our first travel trailer after the first of the year and plan to start traveling like I did when I was a kid. I've really enjoyed your videos. Travel safe.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks James. I'll end up making a video about buying an RV. There are many things I wish I would have known and I don't know why it's so hard to find people willing to share the details. I'm sure it's my OCD and paying attention to the details. I would definitely do things differently. At the same time, we believe in going NOW with what we have instead of LATER with what we want. Good to hear about your trip. Flagstaff/Vegas... are you front PHX?

[@jtemple42]

I'm from Granger, IN. Its just east of South Bend, IN. When we went on our trip we went out through the south (St Louis, MO to Amarillo, TX then straight west until we hit Los Angeles. That was our turn around point. From Los Angeles we went to Las Vegas, then Salt Lake city, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore and then back home. We got every state west of the Mississippi River except Washington, Oregon and Colorado. It was the best vacation I've ever been on and an awesome family bonding experience. We've been looking at trailers for a while now. I think we've settled on a Bullet Primier 34 BHPR. It's a lot of trailer, but I've been camping and pulling them since I was 16 so I think we'll be just fine. I will keep my eyes open for the rv buying guide video. I know what my family looks for, but it will be interesting to see your prospective.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Wow, you covered a lot of ground. Bullet Premier 34 BHPR Looks like a nice trailer. I don't see slide toppers, which I wish we had (seems to rain a lot!). I saw nice upgrades on the Jayco Travel Trailer Bunk Houses. We opted not for the outside Kitchen, but if you don't have to sacrifice a second door to the outside or bathroom, it was nice... but not as nice as second door. I bought ours with the exceptions of selling it. If I would do it again, I would have bought a 37' 5th wheel and never sell it. Once the upgrades are complete... they're so cheep to own. The fuel cost of half ton trucks isn't great. Diesels are getting 14-15 pulling big rigs.

[@jtemple42]

Yes, slide toppers are a must. The outside kitchen and the large bunkhouse are more appealing to us right now than the second door. We have 12 year old twins and want to be able to take their friends with us to some of the local state parks and all the extra room will be nice. We figure we have just a few short years to get out and show the kids the country. Then we will upgrade to a different floor plan. 5th wheels are nice, but they need such a big truck to pull them, not to mention that we just purchased a F150 just a few months ago. I'm hoping my truck gets 7-8 mpg or better when we start pulling. My dads F250 diesel gets 10-12 mpg pulling his 40' 5er, however, there is no lack of power.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

James Temple Yup, you've done your research. I got the trailer for the same reasons.

[@barb0138]

You mean all your eggs in one back pack lol. We all have done it. Thanks for sharing

[@mxjb1125]

I agree with your expectations vs reality. I was there in June of 2018 with my family of 4 and it was very hectic especially with younger children.

[@deanmonyajohnson1027]

A real pity you you didn't take time to see Canada's capital, Ottawa. (It is 5 hours from Toronto and only 2 hours from Montreal.) Our friends from California and Texas loved it. If you ever get back, don't miss Ottawa and its' wonderful bike paths, the changing of the guard and savoring our famous snack, beavertails. They are real unlike that maple syrup scent on the $5s. PS, we love our winters in the US when there is no pandemic in progress.

[@free2roam492]

Looks like you had fun in Toronto. We laughed when you were excited about the gas until you realized you needed to convert to gallons. Glad you fun your backpack. Must have been really scary for you. Too bad we did not know what date you were coming through. We are only 40 minutes from 401 and have a big farm yard you could have stayed (Limoges). Have fun in Montreal. Make sure to check out "old Montreal" with the cobble streets. Excellent city for biking. Cheers!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Awesome! Yeah, the vlog runs behind as we release once per week but seem to collect episodes faster! We're in NYC city now! Montreal was a blast.

[@TrzCharlie]

The adventure involving your backpack seemed exactly like something I would do. Funny but not. Loved your statement "I'd rather be embarrassed." Keep posting, you guys are great. Charlie and Martha (Wandering Toes)

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Wandering Toes. Love it! Thanks for the comment. Keep in touch.

[@TrzCharlie]

We have a blog by that name on Blog ger if you are interested. We are gearing up for full timing by June 2017. Headed to the Dallas RV show next weekend. Who knows what might follow us home.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Trz Charlie I'll check it out. Good luck out there! Always fun to see the options. I'm sure you know, trailers are marked-up that cars back in the day (before the internet). I think we ended up 5k under sticker and I still think if I would have walked... they would have called back! :)

[@ddrustysum69]

You and the Kids should have gone up the CN Tower while in Toronto -- amazing views. Ya I am a Canuck eh!

[@lisadennisorourke797]

Felt the same way about the Grand Canyon Mark underwhelmed.

[@TheTallMan67]

great, entertaining episode. glad you got your bag.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Me too! Thanks

[@bigjoe2458]

I feel like I'm on vacation with you guys thanks

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Good! That's what I'm thinking when I'm holding the camera. Trying to get the same perspective

[@MrJoe7784]

We were just at the falls. Not busy at all. Best time out of season..

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's great. Yes, we've been enjoying the fewer crowds since early September. We just visited Devil's Den Spring in Florida and stayed on-site and enjoyed the entire den to ourselves. Thanks for the comment!

[@windowpane0]

Great video. But I gotta add being I'am from here you missed alot. In Niagara falls? The elevator down would have brought you behind the falls (not just at ground level to them) also there's a very spooky cave that you could have visited while outside at ground level. The CN tower in Toronto in 1995, the CN Tower was classified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The CN Tower shares this designation with the Itaipu Dam on the Brazil/Paraguay border, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Panama Canal, the Chunnel under the English Channel, the North Sea Protection Works off the European coast, and the Empire State Building. Also you could have filmed your country USA over the lake. And the edge walk at the CN Tower would have been the most explosive footage to date you have. Umm did I mention we have a real castle in the city hehehe "Casa Loma"....And on that note! It's unfortunate I did not know about this channel sooner because you would have had free room and board, had I known you were comming (You seem like real nice folks)......Have a nice day I subbed :-)

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Good ideas. Had we stayed closer to the falls, we could have gotten a lay of land and come back. We were on fairly tight schedule to get to Maine. Schedules and fulltime RV don't go well together.

[@brettelizabethspore]

For non-bike people, do you think electric razor type scooters would work as well as bikes? Do you feel like you plan more now that you've been doing this for 6 years? Marc - I feel your pain with the backpack. We also live by the "not all your eggs in one basket" philosophy... for good reason. SUSHI!!! Our son's FAVORITE! Love Tori and Marc's tips & tricks!

[@janezatorski7866]

I love you guys.

[@paulac5830]

I started watching your videos with season 6 and then decided to go back and start watching from season 1. I love you guys and Caleb cracks me up. I'll start laughing and my husband thinks I'm going crazy or something. So glad when Marc rushed back to the truck and trailer, that his backpack was still there and it's contents. He was so lucky! I can't wait to see how the rest of the journey goes. Anyway, I see in this video you have a Canadian road atlas. May I ask which atlas it is?

[@Oliviavg]

I live in nigrafalls and it looks like you went during tourist season.

[@keithbyerly9207]

we sure had a great time there.

[@jimhogen2052]

How cool was that... when you guys crossed the border you were in Sarnia ON. My husband and I own two Tim Hortons ( Canadian coffee chain) in Sarnia. Sorry I’m kinda geeking out over that 🤣

[@kristenfortune5026]

The end of you guys practicing the language was hysterical "your not supposed to say say" hahahahaha

[@rafaelestrada5261]

Great video... glad you found your backpack. Our family is doing the Niagara Falls trip next year in June thanks for the five tips.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Awesome! Yes, I wish we should have hiked through the tunnels. We didn't know it existed until we were there and we were running out of time and had a video to upload. Have fun!

[@ddrustysum69]

Last summer 1.36 a litre close to 6 bucks a US gallon. Before metrics we were on a larger gallon. Weève been getting ripped off ever since.

[@PO-PANDA]

Glad you were reunited with your backpack!!!!! Toronto and Niagara Falls are awesome! Why stop in Montreal, but not Quebec City?

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You are so right! We didn't know about Quebec city until it was too late and everyone said how beautiful Vermont was... so we took that route to Maine. But I would have gone through Quebec City if I could do it again. :)

[@craighodgson7850]

Outside of high summer you can park across the street

[@dax8407]

Thats awesome youre able to do this with ur family yall keep it up and great videos 👌👍🤘

[@keithgordonca]

I saw the backpack incident and was immediately transported back to the Vegas strip where I left my computer backpack, also containing my wallet and passport, in a Starbucks under the counter. I must have left it for more than 10 minutes and sprinted back through the crowds in abject horror. Luckily, despite the crowds, no one had bothered to sit at the counter where I had been, and my backpack was visible through the glass to the whole of the strip. Yet no one took it. I've been much more careful since then

[@StephSH]

Rewatching this one because we are going to Niagara in June 2024, and wow, the kids are so small, and the gas looked so cheap! 😂

[@japnjim9684]

All I could think of when you came around your RV and saw your back pack was, HOLY BAT CRAP ROBIN, I have been saved! Your lucky my friend. Jim in Yosemite, Ca.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

It was SUCH a relief!

[@greggtulowitzky941]

Toronto is the most bike friendly city my wife and I have ever been to. We even biked Niagara Falls but just a warning, when riding north along the river, do not go past the last bus stop and down Suicide Hill. If you do, go to a wonderful ice cream shop at the bottom of the hill but get a good rest because Suicide Hill is a BITCH on a bike. Made it to the top in 1st gear only. BTW, I am 6’2” and 350lbs plus. At the top of the hill is a bus stop and Niagara Falls buses are bike friendly. Toronto is back on our list for another visit with bikes only. Thanks for the video!!

[@duncancarrier2724]

Another fun time for you guys...no dog in this one !!!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks! Yes, when there is no water... she's pretty much asleep. In fact, I don't think there is much of her in Montreal either, but I see what I can do as I start going through that footage in a couple days.

[@sherrydesmarais7032]

Just saw this and it makes me sad that you didn’t stop in our nation’s capital city Ottawa! It’s beautiful and friendly, with lots of interesting things to do. Maybe next time! Eh? (Lol!)

[@sfhipchick1]

HAH! I'm watching the most current episode!! * victory dance * Oh, and WHAT FUN! Once again, lovin' life as Ms. Flyonthewall as I take part in your excursions. :) Crossing the border--that's always interesting, isn't it?! I've been up to Canada via Vancouver twice, so with going into Canada via Toronto, you guys are doing something I'm been looking forward to. It really is so easy to travel to Canada or Mexico, and can be a real PITA going overseas...it just takes so long, you know? And I don't know...don't you feel like you're being scrutinized as if you are a criminal? That's what I don't like! The money in Canada is just so cool, but it seems like money used in a game with all the colors and transparent bits in the bills and the two-toned metal in the coins. I really wish US money was the same, personally. Your comments about paying attention to the big picture and not the destination really is so very important. I can't agree with you more. A few weeks ago, Steve and I went on a 1-day motorcycle ride into the Umpqua National Forest to visit the waterfalls along the way, and I kid you not, it was like getting into line at Disneyland whenever we stopped. I was shuffling along the trails amid the unbelievable herds of people and mooing quietly to myself. Standing in line to get a view of the waterfalls was completely, utterly (udderly?) RIDICULOUS! After the second one (there are at least 7 lovely waterfalls along this highway, very remarkable!), Steve and I gave up and just rode the motorcycle. What happened was that we immediately returned to feeling elated and full of joy because the motorcycle ride was so incredible and it was the reason we'd gone in the first place. Seeing the pictures of "what you expected" vs the reality of Niagara Falls doesn't surprise me one bit. The problem is that (and I am sure you know this) if people can DRIVE there, the destination will be laughably choked with people. If there is the LEAST amount of effort required, you will leave the throngs behind, for the most part anyway. Yosemite is a perfect example: the valley floor is like Niagra Falls. Laugh-Out-Loud ridiculous. But one year Steve and I climbed to the top of Half Dome. There WAS a line of people going up to the top, but it was REASONABLE. And when we got up there, everyone spread out and we all were at peace in this incredible spot, AND we were all initiates in a special sort of club because not that many people have been so lucky as to climb to the top of Half Dome. It's a shame though, that it was such a nightmare at Niagara Falls, but it looks like you made the most of it. LOVED the tips and tricks on Niagara Falls!! I also didn't know there were so many things to do other than look out at the Falls, I'll certainly keep in mind what you two have imparted whenever Steve and I make it up there. :) LOL Caleb, "Did you just say "You want to EAT Toronto?!" * high five's Caleb and rolls around giggling with him * Oh MOM you can't EAT TORONTO!!! Well, ok, maybe you can but it might be a bit crunchy. :D :D (lol, I know what you meant but it's much more fun misunderstanding you intentionally!) :D LOVED the footage of Toronto, it's so beautiful!!! Such a green city, and I love all of the architecture! * swoon * I do adore taking pictures of buildings--abstracts are awesome too!! O M G....the footage of you racing back to the RV and totally freaking because you forgot your backpack... OH MARC, TRISH...WHAT A HORRIBLE, AWFUL SITUATION!!!!! Terrified the whole way back, trying not to get into an accident while going as fast as you can go...AND THERE IT WAS. NOT STOLEN. WOW...the luck. Well, I think there was probably someone up high there looking over that backpack -- I like to think that spirit guides step in sometimes when these things happen -- whatever your beliefs, the fact that your backpack was STILL THERE just STUNS ME!!! I'm so happy for all of you. What a GOOD LESSON to learn for yourselves AND to pass on to all of US. I am shaking just thinking about the ramifications, had your backpack been stolen. I can't even think about it. THANK GOODNESS it all turned out ok. * big hugs all around * (BTW, Marc...I have to point out the FANTASTIC editing you did on that video footage. In fact, I watched it twice because I love to see excellently edited film work! :) Your editing was TOP NOTCH, and totally conveyed how you felt, and the B/W touch really put it into a gritty, frightening perspective that was needed. A+++ job!!! * high five *) Again, more incredible footage...what a gorgeous town!! You guys obviously had a wonderful time! ENVY, thy name is JANET! Actually, envy isn't a nice word...I do look forward to visiting though, and I appreciate the video, I didn't know what Toronto was like, and now I really want to see it more than ever!!! You guys are sushi hounds too?! NOM NOM NOM, my favorite food!! Loved what you had to say about mode of travel. Yep, you are completely right. I love walking but it's just too slow. Via car, you miss way too much. Motorcycles are much, MUCH better, but still, when it comes to a CITY...bicycle ALL THE WAY! We will definitely be doing this when we go on our trip, it's the way to go! :) (And a natural way to get exercise too, WNTL!!) (What's Not To Love) Do you know how cool it is to listen to you two talking about making plans in advance, and slowly eating away at the time you have to make those plans, and then to realize that when you don't have time to plan at all...it can be the very best of all. I just love it! Not knowing the abc's of BIG plans is still a bit freaky to me. However, you guys and I have learned from the folks you've interviewed and from allllll the sources online...that living a serendipitous life is very rich and fulfilling and reaps the best rewards if you're brave enough to throw chance to the wind. To see you two connecting the dots together, on video...it is a great moment to share with you. :) When Steve and I went on our 5-day trip in June, the three of us (our friend Andy was with us too) we set up our hotels, and we had a couple of items on our list that we hoped to do/see, but that was it, and our trip was fantastic! Too many plans makes for a dull outcome! What an episode. Thought-provoking, full of lessons, and there was even sushi. My life is complete. :D Terrific job, once again!!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

OMG. Someone commented on this video and I realized I didn't reply to you Janet. Sorry! I love your complete breakdowns of the episodes! I need to print them and chip away at it each night before bed :) How have you been? What are you up to? Did you catch Episode 100 on the podcast yet?

[@JodysJourney]

I would have totally done the same thing with the liters and gallons. Haha. Looking forward to your Montreal video. I went there with my high school French club many moons ago. Ayez un bon temps!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks! Montreal was awesome. Did you happen to see the very end of the video when we were practicing our French? I'm sure glad most businesses still spoke English or we would have been in trouble!

[@JodysJourney]

Keep Your Daydream I did. At least you tried. I think most countries appreciate that.

[@borealica]

How can you not know that is was in liters lol. It's Canada!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I know. Lame. I think it's because when we're out the country... we fly and not driving. Being in your own car in Canada feel different. It was fun for 10 seconds.

[@JohnnyG60]

LOL this was hilarious to watch, "OH WOW gas is cheaper here in Canada" haha think again.

[@northlander4370]

litres .

Did you all have any type of cooling system in the trailer for maddie when you were parked with the trailer in the road? We booked across country in 6 weeks and back, so we did a lot of "park n see". It was June and July and unless we were at a park we had no way to cool the dogs and cat. Mount Rushmore for instance, we had to walk fast snap some picks, grab a souvenir and get back on the road. We loaded the pets in the trailer while we were sight seeing and it didn't take long for it to heat up in there.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

The time of year is everything. It was cool enough most everywhere we went. When we were in Rushmore, we were at a KOA and hooked-up with electric. The 4 season trailer really helps too. It's always been very cool when we come back. Unfortunately, Maddie is no longer with us, but we miss her dearly.

Keep Your Daydream So sorry to hear about Maddie. :(. Pets are family. Unfortunately the only time to travel last year was in hot months. I'm thinking I'll hook up an inverter so I can run a cooler for our next travels. Thanks for your input.

[@Greeningdon]

Been watching your channel for a few months now and came across this old episode where you guys were in my backyard, practically! Can't believe you took that trailer downtown Toronto! So brave!! Do you remember where you stayed in Hamilton? It's where I call home. :-)

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We took Ginger 1.0 everywhere. Downtown NY, Boston, Savanah. We knew nothing, but it all worked out!

[@aiyanarowe2756]

you guys are hilarious! new subie! can't wait to see your guys new adventures ahead! stay safe!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Lol. Thanks. Working on Montreal now... so funny. Thanks for the comment and joining us!

[@G3RIVER]

That's exactly the same way I felt the first time I saw the falls. It did not live up to my expectations.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Yes, I've learned that anything that can be seen by car... is nothing but mass tourists. Havasu Fall in the Grand Canyon and Yosemite Falls have a significant barrier to entry. And as a result... fewer people.

[@tamaman7777]

Another awesome experience! Shared

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Bobby!

[@jeanmarietuggle3428]

Y’all are so funny!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You can stay!

[@jeanmarietuggle3428]

Keep Your Daydream thanks for answer my comments!

[@fiveinches320]

So cool we live 10 minutes from the falls

[@ddrustysum69]

Word about most but not all true Canadians . We would go out of our way to find the back pack owner.

[@CatherineSunnysideJournals]

Love seeing you in Toronto! That's my home town!

[@fxsparrow5189]

Do you mean Taranna

[@pmroveda]

That’s ok Marc. I went out to go grocery shopping one day and came home with a Grand Cherokee L. 3 rows. Why does a 71 year old need three rows!

[@brianhubbard7606]

First, I must say I laughed my but off when you found your backpack, sorry. Second, I'm a retired Police Officer and I travel all the time. I have a 2017 Entegra Cornerstone and tow a F450 Ford Super duty with my 2017 Gold Wing trike in the bed of the truck on a lift. I do not plan anything but a destination. one I get to my destination the sky is the limit, I do what ever. I think that is the best way. so don't worry it will all work out, and it makes for a better adventure. Have fun, God Bless and keep the rubber on the road.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

It was a massive relief to find it! Nice rig. I'm sure the Gold Wing is an invaluable tool for seeing cities. Very cool.

[@DMills-un1tl]

Having never traveled outside of the U.S., it wouldn't have dawned on me either that it was liters, until the bill came due.
