Born and raised in San Diego. Left after 67 years, moved to AZ. Could no longer afford, and tolerate the politics. Beautiful city. To bad the wrong people are running California into the ground. Thanks for sharing, enjpyed.

I wish I had known you'd be in San Diego. When I was on active duty in the 1980's, I served for a period of time on the USS Midway (from Yokosuka, Japan) - I would have gladly taken you on a personalized tour. Compared to other carriers of the time, the Midway was tiny! Perhaps we'll meet someday on the road! I wish San Diego wouldn't gouge visitors with the parking fees they charge around here - it often makes sense to park elsewhere and Uber to where you want to go.

San Diego usually has the best weather in the USA. Guess this time it wasn’t though. Vegas looked like lots of fun and good food. So glad you got your Mini Vinny back and are on the road to adventures and good food. We haven’t been to Vegas for several years now. Guess we need to go check it out again soon. I enjoyed the tour of the ship. We stayed on the Queen Mary for a week for a class though that’s certainly different from the San Diego tour. Ships histories interest me and oh yes, the stories and tales of another time. Thanks for another enjoyable Saturday morning.

What a great post. Love it! I use to work for Litton Guidance and Control, in Sofware Engineering department. Back in the late 80's and 90's. I would put the navigation software release packages together so they would to go out for testing at verious sites. They did the work for the USS Hancock Aircraft Carrier. That is so neat that Michelle's Dad was station on that ship. Also, loved seeing your stay in Vegas. Close to my stomping grounds. I know exactly where the REI is located. Nice area. It was fun to see you cooking, but always fun to eat out! Looks like a great way to celebrate Brian's Birthday.🎉 *Whoops, I was mistaken about the Aircraft carrier. The USS John Hancock was the one I was familiar with. I learned different today two different Ships. It very possible that Litton G/CS may have worked on the USS Hancock as well. From what I understand the USS Hancock was decomission in the 70's. Very interesting, I think I'd really love going to the USS Midway museum.🚢🚁✈

Happy Birthday, Brian! I don't believe in astrological signs but there is some truth to them, I too had a birthday a couple of days before yours and I have noticed since watching your videos, which I enjoy, that we think in similar ways. I love aircraft carriers and actually got to take a one-day cruise on the USS Eisenhower in the Atlantic Ocean. They actually did take-offs and landings while we stood on the flight deck to watch. It was exciting. Thanks for producing good content each week. You all take care.

I have lived my entire life within an hour and a half drive from San Diego, and have never been on the USS Midway or Sea Port Village. We took the kids to the zoo and Sea World, but that’s it. Pretty pathetic. After your video, I’d like to go back! The price for the carrier was high, but expected. However, the price to park was absurd! San Diego and the outlying areas have always been an expensive place to visit and live. We were in Las Vegas a few months back to see Sting as my wife geeks out on him, but never been to the buffets so we’ll try one of them next time we’re there. Many of the Indian casinos let you park your RV overnight, but guess they don’t allow that at the casinos in Vegas? You guys entered that campground in Menifee after dark. I thought you followed the 3-3-3 rule of RV travel, but maybe not. Thanks for sharing!
@LivinRVision
@LivinRVision 2 жыл бұрын
We’ve never followed the 3-3-3 rule because we sometimes have to travel long distances to get somewhere before the work week OR much like this time you are referring to where we travel in the evening after we finish work, and when we do that this time of the year, it gets dark earlier, hence why we were driving in at dark. Also, it’s not a worry for us pulling in at dark with a small rig like this. Much easier and less to worry about. The Class A and Airstream was a different story.

My old stomping grounds. We always enjoyed the coastal drive in Cali and especially San Diego. Parking prices are horrendous in SD. If you park in the lots in Old Town and take a shuttle bus in to the USS Midway, you could have saved yourselves some money. I was disappointed that the National Parks Pass does not give you free admission to the Ship. Just next door you could have taken a Hornblower Whale Watching Tour to see not only whales and seals, but navy vessels like ships, helicopters, submarines. Old Town is days adventure in itself. We drove that 4 hour drive to Vegas on the 15 too many times to count. We lived in Las Vegas and Henderson, NV for 6 years. The RTI is on the corner of the District across the street from Shake Shack. It is a pleasant area to ear and shop. At the opposite end is the Green Valley Ranch Casino which rivals the Strip properties. Many ppl would park their RVs along Las Vegas Blvd across from the South Point Casino overnight. They usually do not bother you for one night stay. They closed the “O” and replaced it with a new show starting next week. They renamed the theater. Bellagio Conservatory is always beautiful. They change it five times per year. Thank you for the stroll down memory lane. We loved it in Vegas, but CoVid pushed us back East.

I saw the Proteus in Guam in 1981. Was with MCB-133 (Seabees) and lived at the Seabee camp outside of the Navy base. (8 month deployment)

You were certainly here in SN Diego during some very unseasonable weather for us! I can’t believe you went to Seaport Village and you didn’t eat or at least have an appetizer at Eddie Vs! And to come to San Diego and not eat fish tacos!! 🌮 😮. We are famous for our fish tacos!! It’s like going to Julian and not having pie!! Glad to see you’re going to be selling the Minnie Vinnie! Can’t wait to see your next adventure vehicle!! Hopefully you’ll have a little more room, but you’ve both been so well organized to make your van work!

As you know, it was very busy that Labor Day weekend and with the little time we had left in the day, we didn’t want to wait longer since Eddie V’s was so busy. We did eat tacos at another place that we can’t recall what the name was, but we didn’t film. Sometimes when rushing we just simply get tired of continually pulling out the camera. Lol Yes, Grech will be selling Mini Vinny since it is their van as mentioned before. We are just resting their model(s) and providing feedback to them and you, the consumer. 👍🏻😊🤓 The van life has been a game changer for us, especially since we sit in one place so much on our computers. Much different than someone retired or that has more time on their hands to do “normal” daily life activities “around the house”. Not having all the headaches of the bigger rigs sure has it’s advantages. There’s a good reason why so many of them sell and when you drive by many of the RV factories now, you see way more vans on their lot than they used to have. We are from Iowa which is where Winnebago is located and when you drive by now, it is unbelievable how many Class B (vans) they have in their lot. We’ve seen this in other areas as well. Crazy how things change sometimes.

Vinny Ventana to Vinnie selling you "Stella" to Vinnie & "Wanda" adopting Stella & now Mini Vinny". I see a pattern, but maybe the next one should be Sherman. I love the Bellagio & a huge fan of Dale Chihuly. Currently experiencing the Alde system & need to start chasing sunshine !😉 BTW love that y'all have induction.

That’s been so ironic with the names, especially buying from a Vinnie and selling to a Vinnie. Maybe a sign from our angels of being on the right path perhaps? 🤔 🧡😊🤓

Isn't the USS Iowa on display out there in California? I would enjoy the carrier tour being a vet from the US Air Force. Thanks for that tour. I enjoy all branches of service. We need each other. Love the meals in the Gretch. They looked like a 10 out of 10. 😁. You guys are having a great time.

The USS Iowa is in Los Angeles. About 3 years ago we went there but it was closing for the day and we were leaving the area, so we didn’t get to go through it. The meals were definitely a 5 😂 Maybe that’s why we eat out so much… 🤔 😂

We have did a video talking about some of these things early on. Not a video “titled” that way, but we gave some suggestions. There’s a lot of videos we’d like to do if we ever get a break to do them in between.
