[@TheCoinShow88]

All is right with the world again! We’ve been eagerly awaiting this trip and can already tell this will be some EPIC s***?! 🦅 🐻 🏔️

[@nickyfurmage]

You will be pleased to know that all 3 of those emojis are accurate😁

[@HangoversHandpays]

We are so looking forward to following along with this epic trip guys!! Amazing job in powering through on your first day guys!! Vons 1000 spirts looked the ticket that food 🤤🤤🤤 great to see droney mcdrone face doing his thing. Great work guys ❤❤

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks for joining us you guys😁 Vons was definitely a place I'd like to have spent more time, good drinks good food. Mcdroneface put a shift in this trip!

[@Matrix2021]

I can’t at that gum wall ☠️. Cracking music selection and editing as always Mr F 👌🏼. You both looking fresh af despite the jet lag.

[@nickyfurmage]

Neither could I, I edited myself out doing a bit of a gip!🤢 Thanks mate 👍 even though my eyes look like someone left a nasty suprise on my pillow the night before!

[@pauld2810]

I'm so glad you enjoyed my city. I love it here.

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks! Its a Cool place👍

[@simonsouth6184]

YEEEEEES !! Great first day . Brilliant seeing you back... looking forward to these vlogs.. that food at the first bar looked amazing... love them small plates 😂😂 hope you hav a wonderful time...get that drone up 😁🇬🇧👍 team tape measure 👊👊❤️

[@nickyfurmage]

Glad to have you onboard mate, Droney put a shift in! Definitely some tape measure action onboard the ship😁

[@Spielthet]

Edits, Music, Scenery and the Accent! Loved it all and my favorite was the music selection it really sets the tone of the video. Seattle is beautiful. Just earned your channel a new subby!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks, it was a great trip from start to finish! I'm always quite particular in the music I use. I enjoyed Seattle it was great. Appreciate the sub👍

[@Spielthet]

@ you are most welcome and Alaska is one of my dream vacations. I would love to take my kids on a cruise there.

[@nickyfurmage]

@Spielthet you should do it! Enjoy the rest of the videos, the cruise is about 5 videos in👍

[@TheLasVegasCouple]

Firstly, you both look great! 😍 If the vlogging felt a struggle, it certainly didn’t look it, absolutely beautiful editing as always and WOW to the city! That rooftop bar is a bit of us! Can’t wait to see the rest of the trip ❤

[@nickyfurmage]

Thank you both😁 Yeah, I enjoyed the city, cool vibes! Straight off a plane into a place you've never been is quite the tangle with vlogging! it reminded me of San Francisco back in 2019, same feels. The bars were great. There's another awesome rooftop bar in part 2, Darrens suits would fit in quite the part👍

[@roamingnewroutes]

Really good first vlog can’t wait for the rest of the series. Agree with you on the gum wall it’s just gross 😂. Your filming, editing and Music is always on point. If you’re feeling rusty it isn’t showing!

[@nickyfurmage]

It is gross, I couldn't have spent another minute there😆 Thanks for joining us👍

[@louisetvancouver6161]

[@nickyfurmage]

Great city, would like to visit again sometime👍

[@luvjets]

Hi N&C - just like a movie premier, we have been anticipating this - you did not disappoint! I love seeing Seattle (I grew up there and my family still lives there). Von's - nice first night's meal. Always love the drone footage. Altitude Bar - fabulous view, Claire is enjoying the rum cocktails - nice snacks there too. So looking forward to the itinerary you have in store for us, the posts on FB has us "chomping at the bit!" Cheers mates!!!!!😎❤🍻

[@nickyfurmage]

Thank you guys for joining us👍👍

[@dianaallen3707]

So awesome you two! Looking forward to your adventures 🎉

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks Diana, welcome back😁👍

[@keridowns187]

Been waiting for this since you mentioned it in ur last vlog , can’t wait to watch the rest 😊

[@nickyfurmage]

Nice! Enjoy 👍

[@susanwilson434]

Seattle is one of my favorite cities! It has its challenges but can’t beat the views.

[@nickyfurmage]

Cool place I enjoyed it👍

[@123Chinny123]

Great series so far! Really enjoy the production value and drone shots! I can't get away this year unfortunately but watching your videos really feels like I have experienced some sort of break :) Although, I didn't seem to get any notifications for this new series from KZbin despite being a subscriber and having the notifications on. It was a nice surprise though to finally find that the first 7 parts had already been uploaded when I did come across it. Keep it up!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks mate, glad your enjoying them! It was a great trip this one. We absolutely loved it 👍

[@hounslowvancouver3934]

I always enjoy your vlogs I am from the Heathrow area originally now living in Vancouver BC how long are u in Vancouver for and enjoy your cruise 🇬🇧🇨🇦👍

[@nickyfurmage]

Hence the name😁 Thanks! Vancouver was cool we were only there 2 nights though👍

[@hounslowvancouver3934]

Yes And only a 2.5 hr flight to Vegas👍

[@michaelpetrichko7382]

Great first vlog. Really appreciate the work you do in putting these together. Your openings are one of the best out there. All Drinks looked great and I loved the altitude bar.

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks mate, appreciate you. yea, it was a cool bar. We hit up another awesome rooftop bar in the next one👍

[@jameshiga8077]

Hi Nicky and Claire. Glad you both got some time to relax after a long flight.The Altitude Bar was a wonderful place to end the day. Looking forward to see what adventures you both will be taking us in the videos. Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@nickyfurmage]

Welcome back James, it definitely was a cool bar, another great rooftop bar in the next one👍

[@easyedawg9160]

Top notch video to be fair : ) Love the drone footage of my home town. First off you did the right thing to take the light rail from sea-tac. FYI: If needed to avoid the 5 min walk, the airport provides a golf cart shuttle between terminal and light rail. I have many recommendations for you to eat n drink in Seattle and you again did the right thing and went to two of my recommended places. Vonn's has a legendary Martini special and spin the wheel for great deals. So glad you went there for "small" bites and drinks. Also the Altitude Sky Lounge is a classy place I go to for superb service and quality everything, with a view. Happy you went there as well. I would have loved to show you all the proper places here in Seattle to experience but it looks like you're well on your way to another epic adventure. Thank you for a wonderful detailed vlog, can't wait for the next one. Big time 2 thumbs up. cheers

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks mate, yeah Vons was great, would be cool to have spent more time there. Likewise the Altitude bar was awesome, Fogg room in the next one😁 We packed it in while in Seattle, busy 2 days👍😎

[@vegaslady3732]

Good to see you two on this side of the pond again! Looking forward to your adventures - hope you have an awesome trip!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks, appreciate you following along👍

[@markcummings3146]

I'm really looking forward to watching this one. Not only do I want to do Alaska but we also plan to replicate the trip which the Coinshow guys did flying into Seattle, then road trip to Yellowstone national Park then driving down to Vegas for a few days before going back to UK. I type before I watch this but Seattle strikes me more a place to spend a couple of nights in after the long flight rather than a final destination.

[@nickyfurmage]

@markcummings3146 Thanks Mark and sounds like a plan, we'll hope you enjoy it! We crammed alot in at Seattle, as usual I try and give out all the info etc👍

[@richardparr3901]

Great vlog guys. Visited Seattle a few years ago and it was great to see some familiar sights. Enjoy the rest of your trip, it looks a good one. 👍

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks! Enjoyed Seattle, good times👍😎

[@mrfrisky6501]

Great trip - myself and Mrs Frisky backpacker around the world 10 years ago. On the final leg we landed in Vancouver which is a great place then jumped on the bus to Seattle....Great days

[@nickyfurmage]

Nice! Sounded a cool trip, I defo wouldn't be able to get Claire backing packing tho😁

[@mrfrisky6501]

@nickyfurmage it was great mate - key is to drop a bit of luxury in alongside the cheap accommodation and trains etc - .makes the luxury parts even better. Enjoy your trip - see you in Vegas at some point hopefully

[@ALANatstpaulsparade]

Just watched Arriving in Seattle -Part 1 of Alaska trip - as always great footage great blog👍

Thank you Alan, I owe you a beer😉😁

[@scottbradbury5808]

Now this series is going to be epic! 🍺 Hope you’re both doing well mate and both had a great time. Once again these passengers are going to be delayed on these buses 👍 So if anyone thinks the bus is delayed due to traffic, they’re wrong 😂

[@nickyfurmage]

😆🤣 I always feel for your passengers every time I start a new one lol

[@lisal77]

Fabulous initial vlog!

Thanks Lisa👍

Thanks Tina👍

[@loisirene]

What a jam packed travel day. Well done. Vlog was perfect Nicky. CAN NOT wait for the last leg of your trip - Vancouver, Canada. You were only 13 hour drive / 60 minute flight away from me in Calgary. Ha. I hope you really enjoyed your first taste of Canada.

[@nickyfurmage]

13 hours😆 Canada is so vast! Thanks, yeah, we put quite the planning in for this one👍

[@allaboardthecruiselife]

WOW! Fantastic vlog Nicky... many congratulations mate!!!👍😎

[@nickyfurmage]

Cheers! Thanks for joining us👍

[@sgraffrn]

Great start to the trip!

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks, enjoyed Seattle👍

[@dennisarsenault6474]

We really loved the sky suites at Aria but that was like 6 years ago . We also like Delano suite and have to agree that the Cosmo was special , hopefully we can get the cosmo again when MGM takes it over

[@JohnRodger]

What a stunning start to the trip, Seattle looks like such a great city to visit 😁 That rooftop bar though, looked great and a fantastic vibe 😍 Looking forward to following the trip…some of those preview shots are just wow!!! Also through about the Last of Us Part 2 immediately down by the pier with the Aquarium and Big Wheel 👀

[@nickyfurmage]

Good vibe in Seattle mate, oh n it wasn't just the wheel and Aquarium I saw allsorts 😁

[@lfletcher81]

Another quality video pal. Looking forward to watching the remaining vids.

[@nickyfurmage]

Cheers mate, see you guys soon 👍

[@amysunley2064]

Great effort to fit all that in on a first day with the time difference! Definitely need to get to that altitude bar when we’re next back in Seattle. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@nickyfurmage]

Thanks, Amy! Yeah, it's a long day on them travel days sometimes😁 but all that was a bonus considering the original flights being a lot later. Altitude bar was great, another cool rooftop tipple in the next one. I really enjoyed Seattle. Good times and hope you are enjoying your current trip 👍

[@mikenebeker]

Nice to see you visiting my old stomping grounds. I live 45 miles south of there. You definitely made the city look good in your video, but you always do of course. Looking forward to the whole journey. 💯👍

[@nickyfurmage]

Cheers Mike, didnt realise you lived in that area! Thanks as always mate👍

[@stuchan3326]

First day and you’ve already made the trip look awesome. Claire looked a little weary at the beginning, but I know the long haul has its affects. Hope you both got through the trip feeling fine. Can we handle all of the epicness? Looking forward to finding out!

[@nickyfurmage]

The first day was a bit of zipping around considering we'd just got off the plane, but it was all a bonus considering we shouldn't have arrived that early originally. I think I explain that in Part 2👍

I love Von’s. They do some drinks with cotton candy (pixi floss)

That's the 1 place in Seattle wished we spent more time, cool joint👍

Great start to the trip. How long was the flight from Heathrow to Seattle?

Good really, just under 9 hours. About 8.45👍

Shhh! Keep Mobile Passport Control secret. I find it to be quicker and easier than Global Entry, but it won't be if everyone starts using it.

[@nickyfurmage]

😁 I've heard some people not being able to use it in Vegas and just being told to use the regular line. Seattle Tacoma had a dedicated line, nobody other than us used it, and the regular line was a good 1 hour long, excellent use of the MPC.
