Joe and Nic. I want to make sure you know how grateful we (I am) are that you did this trip and shared it with us. Your consistent factual format with your personal commentary was fantastic. This pseudo-anthropological tour is unlike anything I’ve seen before. It was informative and entertaining. Your calm documentary style delivery interspersed with tidbits with your travel companion, Nic, was watchable every episode. I’m an airline pilot and travel too, but I kept coming back again and again to see where your adventures took you and what your ‘take’ was on the places and sights you visited. My personal and sincere thanks for this series. Enjoy your time home!

My thoughts and sentiments, exactly! ~ Mrs. C.

[@throne1797]

I second these comments. Been with you since the earlier trip. This one was superior in every way.

[@Imagineitisraining]

Your remarks were said so eloquently Much better than I ever could but I'm certain that we all agree. I've been with them not from the start but close to it. Each week, I look forward to a new adventure. In fact, I am planning to post their link on my social media sites. This channel is too interesting not to share.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Wow, thank you!

[@deehoward2351]

Thank you ❤ Glad to see you made it back home safely. Now that you have taken us on a road trip to remember, where do we donate as a form of thank you? A lot of bloggers are up front with asking, and their content isn't nearly the quality of yours.

You know, you did an excellent job editing that long trip back to your 'hotel-home' in Dallas. I was mesmerized. Even from the interstates, it's a marvelous country. You both ought to take a long rest. What a demanding odyssey!

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

Thank you, David!

[@RU3YJB]

I also enjoyed that drive home. In Harrisburg, you passed over the Susquehanna River, it’s probably as wide as the Mississippi, but doesn’t carry as much water. I’m planning a trip to the Knoxville area, so it was nice to see what 81 looked like. Rest well.

This is fantastic. We have traced my family back to a cabin boy on the Mayflower :) and one of my ancestors involvd in the Boston Tea Party. I love history. Thanks for this video

Joe, a modern day John Smith ! 😮 He is a current explorer who also embodies an adventurous spirit which is always admirable no matter the century.😊

I'll take that! :)

[@Spucky50]

Thank you. Massachusetts native, now in Maine. Lived in Boston late 1960s to mid 1980s. In the early 1970s, the Cheers bar was a real neighborhood bar, the Bull & Finch. I used to go there with my friends to drink beer and play darts. The upstairs space was a sort of dance hall. Then Hollywood came.

[@davidgreenhow7811]

I lived in Boston's north shore suburbs in the 1980s-90s and to this day still miss living there. In October 1992 I watched the cast of Cheers film some intro scenes that came before the opening credits. In one, Woody rolls up on his bicycle and chains it to a parking meter. He starts to go inside but then turns around to put change in the meter. In another, Norm and Cliff are just hanging out on the street talking when some guy pulls up in a Jaguar and thinks Cliff in his mailman uniform is a valet parker and gives him his keys. Cliff and Norm seize the opportunity by getting into the cool expensive car and go cruising. Thousands of us were gathered to watch the filming of these episodes. Cheers was a great show and I never get tired of watching the reruns.

[@JoeandNicsRoadTrip]

That is cool.

[@fchurch74]

I was a long haul driver for 25 yrs, over 2.1 million miles. I delivered in every state in the contiguous US, including Alaska. I retired in 2007 and am 90 yrs old now. You and Nicole brought back some memories for me for sure. I got to where I didn't need a road map and of course this was before GPS and other fancy electronics. Thank you both and I'll watch for those trips that I missed and look forward to seeing you both again on the road. In the meantime relax and chill out ya'll certainly deserve it. Stay safe!

Even though I'll never see those places in person you made some memories for me. Thank you !

It’s nice to see The Mayflower again. The last time I saw it was at Brixham in the mid 50’s whilst it was being built. We went on a school trip from Plymouth UK and I was 12 years old. I can remember the smell of the Oak. Hard to imagine it was once at the cutting edge of sea transportation. We really enjoy your travels, keep on producing your films. Thanks. Colin.

What an awesome way to end the trip. The state and the history, and the drive back set to that awesome music. Just wanted to say, we've been watching the videos you guys make for several months now and it's been such a great escape from the hard parts of life, occasionally stirs up memories for the places we know, and really gets the gears going about places we could maybe go to live someday. Even if this trip is done, I think it's something people will discover and watch for years to come. Thanks for the ride.

I have been watching you all for months. I am sad to see your journey end, but can't imagine how exhausted you are! I really appreciated your videos as I am unable to drive, and have been sick the last few years. Your videos have been a way for me to travel and live vicariously! Your commentary is exceptional imo, never anything injected, just the facts delivered in your way, and honest observations. Have a wonderful rest, and enjoy your family! Will miss you guys!😊

Watching you video's from UK one thing I noticed is how clean your roads and pavements are over there, in the UK there's chewing gum and dog poop everywhere, crisp packets and sweet wrappers chucked everywhere. I'm amazed how the streets are kept so clean in the US.

[@SelfReflective]

I think that's true in the Northeast aka New England, where the population is much less diverse while also being older. The upshot is greater social cohesion, greater prosperity, less socially aberrant behaviour, less crime.

[@bonniewischmeier9813]

I loved your video. FYI while visiting the Baltic States of Eastern Europe in the early 2000’s we took the opportunity to pull off the highway out in the country. We visited a cemetery that seemed in the middle of nowhere to us visitors. The cemetery was very old and had remnants of the former Soviet Union in a lot of the designs of the headstones… Lots of families in this area have made their family plots into little parks of sorts; with benches, iron fences and decorated gates. We found out that families often visit their family’s graves on holidays, etc. for gatherings and picnics. 4 years ago our oldest son, 40 yrs old, died very unexpectedly. We buried him in a little country cemetery 1/4 mile from our home(easy walking distance). My husband and I are the caretakers of the cemetery. We visit our son there often. When our daughter was home with her 3 children for Easter this year- we had an Easter Egg Hunt at the cemetery so we could include our son, brother and uncle in our fun. So, the thought of have gatherings in cemeteries is not morbid to us at all…..
