Happy New Year 🎉

Happy New Year! Safe travels!

[@kathrynsummers2303]

Thank you Brian and Michelle for sharing your adventures with us! Love your content, Brian your editing, music choices, and Michele’s narrative at times is excellent. You both keep it real and we enjoy that! We have stopped watching several of the channels we started out with due to the “put on” feel they exude. Keep doing what you do! Happy New Year to you both!

[@LivinRVision]

🧡😊🤓

[@loriwise3177]

I 2nd that!

[@wenp75]

Gulf State Park is one of our favorites!!!

[@LivinRVision]

Same here, we loved that campground! 👍🏻😊🤓

[@KAW5]

Thanks for the great video! We really enjoyed the music and editing!

[@craftyclarke2514]

It was too funny when I saw Michelle run the red light and your reaction right after. Crazy you commented Michelle twitching her leg like Elvis and the wood on the bar was connected! Le Meridien was stunning. TFS The Edition as well. One of the many endearing things about you both is how real you are, and you do look for silver linings. Hope the repairs don't set you back too much on $ or time. HNY! #seeyanextweek

[@LivinRVision]

😂🧡😊🤓

[@peggyr.346]

I've heard so many good things about Destin! thanks for sharing all your adventures there! Two things stood out to me, 1 the fudgery! omg..lol and 2 that adorable puppy! Happy New year to you both and I look forward to more of your great videos!

[@tommathews3964]

Nice trip through my old stomping grounds! It breaks my heart to see Gulf Shores these days! We bought our lot there in 63 and had to have power run down the road to it! No water, sewer, phone service etc. then. When we built the house (we were on West Beach) you couldn't see another house in either direction. Wall to wall now! There was only one stop light in town, no condos, bars, etc. just two restaurants and one gas station. Such a nice, sleepy little fishing/shrimping village. Post Hurricane Frederic is when the really big commercial boom hit town. You surely noticed a MUCH less commercial environment on Dauphin Island, and that's exactly the way they want it!

[@kimpeterson8090]

Wish I could afford that! Am in Orange Beach visiting now.

[@mrsbintennessee1159]

Here in East TN, the West end of Knoxville is Farragut. The Farragut high school's mascot is the Farragut Admirals after admiral Farragut. So he must have come up this way as well 🤷‍♀️ Loved this episode, guys!

[@LivinRVision]

Thanks for sharing! 😊🤓

[@GCInvesting]

We love Gulf Shores!!! Great video! We post updates weekly on Gulf Shores Life!

[@mrsjudys]

Thanks again for a most enjoyable video! And....thanks for the history lesson. Oh....and thanks for the laughs and smiles! 😍

[@carllapane4458]

Thanks for sharing about RVing in Alabama. I live in Mobile

[@travelingaquanauts3137]

Loved the video! We were at Gulf State Lodge in late December. First trip there and we loved it! Planned to ride bikes around the state park but it was cold and windy while we were there. We hope to go back in the Spring. Next time you guys are in the area, be sure to check out Magnolia Springs near Foley. It's a cute little town with a wonderful restaurant (Jesse's). Btw, us southerners pronounce it MO'bill but I am sure I have certainly butchered the names of some non-Southern (and some Southern!) town names myself. We didn't have time to check out Mobile but maybe the next time around. Keep up the good work!

[@LivinRVision]

Thanks for the tip on the restaurant! Yeah, the funny thing is, we both know how it is pronounced but still said it that way. 😂 When editing, I told Michelle, boy are we going to hear it! 😂 Sometimes I just say, meh…and leave it in because it’s not worth the troubles of putting text to correct it or putting on the same clothes that we had on that day and re-record. We figured people get the gist and just continue to watch.

[@laurawgarts]

Well done video guys! Loved your music choices! We love going to Lambert's - those rolls are delicious and huge! It always cracks me up when they throw the rolls across the room. We also loved our stay at Gulf Shores, AL in October. We waited for Ian to blow out of Florida and stayed there for a couple of weeks. Safe travels you guys and hope you made it through those few days of artic blast and stayed warm enough. HaPpY NeW YeAr and hugs from Laura and Scott. xo

[@Banagal]

Alabama "rolls" with it, RIGHT? Nice tour...and on to the next adventure.I FINALLY got two Blendjet Blenders at Costco and LOVE them. My previous order from a different vendor was cancelled because they ran out of product.

[@bethharrington945]

Thank you Michelle and Brian for another great video. I homeschool my grandson so this was a great way to ease back into it, after the Christmas holidays with a short unit study of Fort Gaines, (history). Love the battle sound effects. Keep them coming, but be safe out there you two. Happy New Year!

[@ruthtorphy2204]

Got to love you guys. Thank you for your fun and info on the eateries 🎉🍸Happy healthy and most of all safe and exciting travels.

[@moxymaxx5350]

Oh my gosh. We were there at all three places you visited 4 weeks ago. Even took car ferry to Dauphin Island.

[@RM-by7jx]

Hey LivinRVision I live in Mobile, AL. You guys produced a wonderful and informative video of our area. Thanks!!! RM3

[@LivinRVision]

🧡😊🤓

[@elaineedgington934]

Been to Gulf Shores years ago but going with you two is much more fun!!!

[@tracimoney-honey8545]

That fog made a perfect backdrop for exploring the fort. Thanks for sharing. Blessings of Peace in 2023!

[@dallaswillard3155]

Brian you always make me laugh with the funny look on your face. Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@ouradventurousglutenfreeli73]

I love your videos!! We live in Orange Beach, AL and it is truly paradise. If we ever thought we could leave the beauty of this place, we may try van life, too. Great video about Ft Gaines. We have never been to Lamberts, bc we are gf and the risk of cross contamination is too great. You need to come back and do the Florabama at night, on a Friday or Saturday night where local musician and comedian Big Earl does his show. It is hilarious and the people watching is incomparable. Lastly, Mobile is pronounced Mo-beel, not mobile as in mobile phone. 🤪 Also, when you come back, we can give a list of great gf restaurants that are safe to eat. And Michelle needs to try the pie at Hope's Cheesecake and Sarah's Homemade in Gulf Shores. Safe travels!!

[@LivinRVision]

👍🏻😂 Have you ever said something and then realized you what you said later? Yep, that’s what I did. 😂 Happens to the best of us.

[@howardbarry1074]

HAPPY NEW YEAR Michelle (Lucy) and Brian (Ricky)

[@DIAMOND_PAINTING567]

AMAZING video! LOVED the history. So sad to think that beautiful fort is endangered. The brickwork is just beautiful! We would love to visit it ourselves some time. Thank you so much for sharing. As usual your music choices were perfect!

[@bradbice1957]

Welcome to Alabama!!!!!!

[@donnabooth1218]

I was raised around there. South of Mobile. Father lives in Fairhope. Lots of fun times in Gulf Shores! Thanks for sharing!

[@raf4887]

We have camped at Dauphin Island several times and it is one of my favorite places. The campground is within walking distance of Ft. Gaines, the beach and the Dauphin Island Sea Lab and Aquarium. You can reach anything on the island with bicycles. The ferry runs across the mouth of the Bay to the Ft. Morgan side, another great place to tour, Metal detecting is not allowed on Dauphin island due to the fact it was a Civil War battlefield. The Sea Lab offers a wonderful week-long program for kids in elementary school as well as hosting masters and PhD students studying oceanography and estuary marine environments. A family-friendly, low key place to relax and enjoy life on the Alabama Gulf Coast.

[@helenguilford7510]

Thank you for taking us to the fort. Can’t wait for next video.

[@loriwise3177]

Happy New Year and hope you find warm weather soon! ❤ From The Villages, Fla

[@billpitts1034]

Oh my word. You out did yourself on this one historically. This is right what Amanda loves. We went through Mobile through the underwater tunnel. It was a cool experience. Thanks for sharing. Love it!

[@Jburns4620]

I gotta say, that was one of the most interesting videos, guys! Thanks for the tour and now, I want to go and experience it myself. Hard being in Idaho at 23 degrees and seeing Michelle in shorts in the fog! Happy 2023!

[@rebahicks3619]

We love going to gulf shore.. Happy new year. Stay safe...

[@wandrousvindella716]

Once again, a quality video. We vacationed there occasionally before the kids were teenagers. Thank you for taking us along ! Happy, healthy 2023~ Vinnie & Wanda (pronunciation with us is a "north vs south"...imagine the word "fork" ) 🤭

[@LivinRVision]

🧡😊🤓

[@garykrissteiner1004]

We enjoyed Mobile, Dauphin Island, and the Gulf Shores area much more than we expected to! Great video!

[@joyceterry578]

Thank you for your visit to the best beaches Gulf Shores! Lamberts……the Best!

[@lemuelcasillas7572]

5:13 😂😂😂 BOOM!!! Don’t….Lol 😂😂. Would be something I would be in trouble for. Happy New Year 🎆

[@TheSakebomb1]

This Fort is named after my 13th uncle General Edmund Pendleton Gaines. Every first born male on the Gaines side has the middle name Pendleton. My brother is Adam P. I would like to visit this.

[@LivinRVision]

How cool!! Thanks for sharing this!

[@connielowe1111]

thank you for taking us along with you. My oldest would love dauphin island, my youngest would love the Gen. Patton museum. he even named his dog Patton

[@wandafanning7283]

We think u already know this… as we watch your videos… I was just thinking you all have alot of amenities in your van… life is much more symple… we have a 2018 postmaster that we built out ourselves… and I really love 💕 our simplicity of our van.. our life… happy travels…

[@officiaMarysa]

I'm from Robertsdale like 30 or so from gulf shore and it is beautiful 😍 thanks for show it off so others can see it

[@terryweis1883]

We love Lambert’s, south of Springfield, MO on your way to Branson, MO, best sides ever. “Happy New Year!”

[@rickgriffith1]

Awesome video/editing work. You really are great at keeping you audience engaged. Your work is appreciated.👍🏼😎

[@LivinRVision]

TY! 🧡😊🤓

[@louiselevasseur7556]

Great video! It was nice to see you yesterday. Happy New Year!

[@LivinRVision]

Hi Louise! Michelle and I were so glad to see you both again! Thanks for stopping us to say hi. Happy New Year! 🧡😊🤓

[@maf4346]

Hi Louise! Mel Michaud here from long ago working together in N Smithfield. Imagine my surprise and delight to be watching Michelle and Brian and see your comment!

[@cindysmith7600]

We are heading to Florida tomorrow and are adding this to our trip! Thanks for sharing! See you at the Tampa show!

[@angelathoele5089]

Next time eat breakfast at the Ruby Slipper in orange Beach! It was so good!

[@LivinRVision]

We almost did, thanks for the suggestion! 👍🏻😊🤓

[@angelathoele5089]

Thank you for sharing your adventures! You are my favorite KZbinrs because you always show your adventures! We get to live vicariously through you and sometimes they help us decide, like this one, it’s on our bucket list!❤️

[@dennysisk1100]

The rolls & rolls, the food definitely look good. I could see would be cool to work next to the beach take a break and take a little walk.

[@kathyeberly366]

Beautiful scenery. The van is tempting. Such ease. However, I don’t think I can give up the room. We full time with 2 dogs and 2 humans. We went to one of the throwed rolls places in MO many years ago. Fun experience and such good food. Thanks for sharing.

[@sandraganoung9680]

My husbands says your video quality is some of the best in the KZbin world but the music in this video scared me! Lol spooky... 🤣, we love Historic sites like this!

[@LourdesGonzalez-gs8jj]

Happy new year to both! 🎊🎆🥳🎊🎆Safe travels to your adventure. 🙏🙏💜❤️Thank you for sharing another wonderful video! 👍🙌👍

[@judivowell5748]

Great tour. I lived in Pensacola for 18 years, married my hubby at Bellingrath Gardens near Mobile (pronounced "mowbeal"), and went all over the area but never made it to Dauphin Island. Looks fascinating. Happy New Year!!🎉

[@peteacevedo3411]

Great video and you guys have a safe enjoyable New Year.

[@loda9510]

My family rented a house (that slept 24) in Orange Beach Alabama in September 2022 for a week! It was a fabulous time and the sunsets for awesome. It was hot

[@theglasgownomad6814]

I need to check out some of these State parks in the AL & FL panhandle. On a side note, my daughter went to Admiral Farragut High School in Farragut, a suburb of Knoxville TN. So now you know, lol

[@teriglad1]

Fascinating. Thanks for taking us along! Maybe you should come north. We’re having fifty degrees here when it is usually in the 20’s with - chill factors.

[@elainemcintyre4407]

Dear Brian & Michelle, for this tour, the history lesson, answered a lot of questions about how,when & where, way back when , these places became settled. Growing up here in the 60’s we only got to see the American movies,which depicted the Indian,wars between the North & South, of course all The John Wayne movies, but these left a lot to the imagination. Since following you on U-Tube I have had a Atlas out so I can place all the places I go to, which explains your country better,so thank you & Happy New Year. It is the 1st of January 2023 today as I write this letter. Elaine from Queensland, Australia.

[@aeroringordmngr8739]

Enjoyed the video. Welcome back to the warmth.

[@lisaborsi3092]

Look up Sugar Sands RV park on your next visit! It's our favorite in Gulf Shores! You also HAVE to go to the Flora Bama and you should eat at the Sunliner Diner!

[@danmcwhertor5922]

Great tour of Fort Gaines! Added to out ToDo List. Live in Tampa FL but have never seen that part of the Gulf Coast.

[@randyshay7280]

Happy New Year Brian and Michele!!!!

This Fort looks like Fort Taylor in Key West! Thank you for sharing. Very interesting:

After these holidays of baking and eating, we all have plenty of rolls(the unwanted kind around the middle) so your not alone Brian!! Happy healthy New Year to you and Michelle 🎉…by the way my sister and brother have each of your names, ironic😂

Love gulf shores..one of our favorites..and lamberts? Tasty..the hangout & the wharf are cool too!!!..on your way to destin drop into pensacola beach..you wont go wrong ✌

[@lowellpollock4696]

Just wanted to say: "HAPPY NEW YEAR" From West Virginia hope it's the best ever

[@jeanneprice6736]

I do not know the time of your videos, but I do hope you are mindful of really severe weather. There are a lot of tornado conditions sweeping through the south these days. There are a number of weathermen on YT who provide good information…for the present and for planning. Ryan Hall is a good one for a start.

[@LivinRVision]

You may have missed it, but we place the dates in the videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@constance8606]

Great Historic Video!!!

From Henderson, NV Happy New Year, Brian & Michelle!🥂🎉🎆 I was just over by one of your REI stores at Green Valley Ranch Hotel& Casino! 😀 So happy I found your channel this year! I look forward your weekly post, each week sharing your adventures. I really enjoyed this video. The homemade rolls looked delicious! I remember learning about Fort Gains, Dolphine Island, in school. You really made it come to life & very interesting in this video.

[@wheelepicadventures]

Welcome to the Gulf Shores....why didn't leave some sun!?!?!?!? We also ate at Lambert's back when we were here for Thanksgiving. We really want to stay at the Gulf State Park but it is always full. We are near Fort Morgan for a few more weeks.

[@RichardinNC1]

Happy New Year. Nice video on Fort Gaines. I visited it in 2017 during a trip along the gulf. It was a nice day and I was able to take the ferry over to it.

[@robynidyllwild6755]

Great sound effects Brian with the cannons and guns. Very interesting, I have learned so much with your traveling!! 🥳 Happy New Year! Expecting snow ❄️ this next week. It may be the biggest one so far this winter. Be safe!!❤

[@LivinRVision]

You two stay warm and be safe up there, Robin!

[@jeanknapp6749]

Watched this morning. Guess I should have waited to watch….you not only scared Michelle, you scared me…I jumped, my poor heart! I scored a restaurant that we liked two yrs. ago a #2 this yr. Too bad it was foggy for the Ferry😞 Happy New Year 🎉

[@LivinRVision]

Sorry about the scare :( Happy New Year!!

[@kennyandcandywalker2673]

Next trip eat breakfast at Hazels. It is pricey but sooo good and the people make it an enjoyable experience. Also try the shrimp salad at Bahama Bobs. Yes we're Alabama natives and have been traveling there since the 80's. Safe travels.

[@LivinRVision]

Thanks for the suggestions! Michelle and I will take note of these two places for our next trip there. 👍🏻😊🤓

Another great video. You guys can really tell a story. We’ll be driving across Iowa this summer. We’ll have to review your earlier videos to give us ideas of what to see. Happy New Year!

[@lynn8524]

I am local to the general area, Tanner Williams Community(west of Mobile,pronounced Mo-bill). Fort Gaines is supposedly haunted. Thank you for such a nice video of the area.

[@LivinRVision]

Lol yeah we knew how to pronounce it but sometimes it just slips. We don’t edit everything out as we feel it isn’t that critical. Thanks.

No, we missed Forrest. 😕

Happy New Year 🎆 🎉 love all your videos thank you for sharing your travels. Charleston SC

[@mikemanjo2458]

Cool trip! Thanks for sharing with us! I wonder what happened to the people who rode over on the last ferry. Did they get to spend the night on the island and wait until the next day? Thanks for always taking us along. Y'all are so much fun! (Jane in SC) Happy New Year! Can't wait to see where you go next! ❤🙏

[@LivinRVision]

I don’t think they ran any ferry that day from Fort Morgan to the island due to the fog. Assume those on the island either drove like we did or were already staying on there. Happy New Year!

[@tanya334]

Love when you visit Historic locations, I am a history nut ! Guess I like seeing how we repeat history by political Numb Nuts 🤣 Safe Travels guy's ❤️

[@karensevern328]

You should check out Hardridge Creek Campground while your in southern Alabama. It’s a beautiful army corps of engineers campground.

[@LivinRVision]

We’ll have to check that out next time since we already left the area. Thanks so much for the suggestion! 😊🤓
