Road Trips - 5 Things You Will Love & Hate About The Family Road Trip

[@BadgerCheese94]

One thing I love about road trips is watching the scenery change before your eyes. We live in a beautiful country with such diverse landscape. Flying can't do it justice.

[@WithASideOfFries]

Really cleverly made video! You're informative and charismatic as usual, and your kids are adorable! Thanks for the fantastic content!

[@blindpanthervlogs]

Another cool thing about any road trip is that you get to see so many different places, but in a relatively short amount of time.

[@jimgreen9059]

John Stone, the way I handle problems with others is I don't take them along. I always go alone, then share it all when I return home. I even did that back in '84 when I drove solo to Alaska from northern Illinois, returning through Jasper, Banff and Glacier--9244 miles in 31 days. What a wonderful month!!!

[@theapparatus]

I only have one question about this video. Are we there yet? :)

[@nathanjw940]

No

[@stephaniecaza9636]

Suggestion.... Did a road trip with 2 adults and 4 teenagers from Montreal, Qc to Cocoa Beach, Fl! It was fantastic!! Ok so we did have a big, tricked out Econoline with integrated dvd player, etc. But the only rule i had was everytime we stop we take out anything we need to throw out. This way the truck stayed clean the whole way! My favorite way to travel is a road trip!

[@IgnacioAgramonte]

marvelous family.

[@woltersworld]

Thank you :)

[@ithacapro]

I love this video, really cooool. You've got a nice family, Mark!

[@woltersworld]

Thank you. I love traveling with them.

[@ZapAndTroy44]

Loves Travel Plaza's are the key. Nice bathrooms with toilet closets not stalls.

[@esmeraldaalcantara4785]

Love watching your videos.Thanks for sharing,One thing I love the most is I feel like I also travel with your family because I could see all those places and gives me ideas on how to explore .Your kids are so adorable.Take care,God bless your family.😊

[@woltersworld]

Thank you. We love the little ones :)

[@Parmesana]

well said. Took my sons on a couple road trips when they were pre-teens. one to Georgia to see my brother and one to Philadelphia to see my cousins..We had a cooler that we packed, and had picnics. We visited Mom & Pop places and tried to find those kitchy things like 'biggest ball of twine'. Paid for a bus tour/hotel thing in Niagra Falls Canada..and the tour guide mentioned to us a great little Mom & Pop diner. The best breakfast I had had in 20 yr. As for the "are we there yet?" moments.When I was a kid, I always asked for a map to look at and follow..and doled out a treat when we got to a certain city or mile marker.

[@JaimeDelgadoVideos]

Great video Mark! I love your videos and you inspired me to travel abroad. I have been to London and Paris last year. I went to Amsterdam just last month and of course I saw you 5 things to love and hate about Amsterdam before going. A road trip definitely looks like something I need to put on my bucket list. Thanks for your hard work! Happy 4th of July to you and yours. :)

[@emmacat3202]

TIPS: Bring a portable garbage bag for your car to put trash in (empty it regularly), and a cooler with ice and ice packs to store healthy food and drinks in. Bring reusable water bottles too. You can fill those at rest stops. Bring bonine and plastic bags for car sickness.

[@bboydavid98]

Wow I can tell a lot of effort went into this video!

[@JRD-uf6ns]

Thank you!

I-95 is the route when our family when we went to Maine and this was is in MA and it so long

[@evelynwitt2529]

You brought back some memories about road trips from when I was younger. We made the trip to my grandparents/aunts place 1400 miles away from where we lived. Back then (1970s) we did not have any of the things you suggest to bring for kids like tablets and mini-game consoles. We had a backseat full of books, crayons, colorbooks, small toys and other things. We did not have to use a seatbelt like they have to now and the seat laid down so me and my sis had some room to stretch out in. We did though, look out the windows all the time with the ever changing scenes around us. Mom packed us food to eat on the road for the first day. I can remeber eating egg salad sandwiches for breakfast!!! We did not have the money for fast food and the only messes in the car were from our toys and melted crayons. So when it was my turn to do road trips with my kids, we still did not have the electronics but we did have a CD player so I brought our favorite music and also books on CD to listen to. I did not have a DVD player because they were expensive and (my kids took a road trip or two with their dad and step family members and they had the DVD player because the step siblings could not stand to be in the car long) so the kids would look out the window for hours. As for "are we there yet?" I quickly nipped that in the bud so to speak when I told them to do that with their dad. So they would ask me where we were instead. I would stop at grocery stores and get things there vs fast food.

[@LOVELYDAI78]

Yay!!! I've been waiting for this video after seeing the preview. We just rode tripped from Central PA to Toronto, Niagara. Going north through central PA & NY made our road trip easy breezy. Best road trip every

[@woltersworld]

Sorry that it had taken so long. We were out traveling and it is tough to get editing done while traveling. Hope you liked it!

[@willsonthomas]

This was a fun one to watch for sure. I'm getting ready to go from PA>>Maine (Booth Bay, Bar Harbor, Lubec) Then to Saint John NB - to see the reversing falls, PEI, and Halifax NS. Then Quebec City, Montreal PQ; then Burlington, Vt; Lake Placid- Olympic village in NY.

[@jimgreen9059]

I remember playing the license plate game as a kid, as well as my younger brother always being asleep, and me looking out the window all the time. I was totally fascinated by the passing scenery. I know--weird kid! I was a kid before Ronald McDonald was born, so we, honestly, never ate junk food on trips, and I don't eat it watching TV or at movies today. All you need to experience this is to be old like me. Totally agree with Love #2. If you return to eastern Canada, try driving around the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, plus Nova Scotia. Beautiful!

[@courtneybartell2010]

me amd my husband and our kids is doing a 6 week summer road trip also

[@BronzeBellaBria]

Thank you for the great video!

[@woltersworld]

You are very welcome... A month late :)

[@DeathMammoth91]

I just recently got back from Saskatchewan, Canada and I am so happy to see so many new videos!! :) Keep up the great work Mark and it looks like you had an awesome family road trip!!

[@edogg_s44]

I can vividly remember 6 years ago as a 6th grader nearly having our backs against the wall going from the White Mtns in AZ taking a backway in NM back home to Tucson. First, we were having engine knocking issues in our '93 Sub, then a cop was hunting us down for speeding but thankfully he pulled back to the shoulder and we were never stopped, then on top of the that the fuel gauge was pegged at the E and I could only imagine what running dry in the middle of the desert in JUNE would be like. 😨 We made it just fine thank goodness, but overall fantastic video woltersworld !

[@woltersworld]

Dang. That's insane. I drove that a couple years ago... That would have sucked to run out of gas

[@djcarbines]

Love: the actual driving!

[@jeniferdivine]

i've done I-95 from Miami to NYC, still have bizarre nightmares of Pedro's South of the Border...

[@ColonelHarry]

Pit stops un France are wonderful, free clean bathrooms and ok food.

[@ItsAllGeekToMe2]

Great video as always! If you ever get a chance, you should take your family out to western South Dakota, (I'm from the eastern part) and go see all that the Black Hills have to offer. Reptile Gardens, the Badlands, Custer State Park, and Mt. Rushmore of course, just to name a few. It's been a great road trip destination for my family and me through the years. Thanks for all the great videos, Mark! :)

[@woltersworld]

That was almost our road trip to be honest :)

[@smekkes]

Me and my gf drove ~5000km around Germany last summer for 3 weeks, in my lousy car (Nissan Almera -00) haha. (I didn't laugh when we where driving up the mountains in Berchtesgaden :P ) Anyhow was an amazing trip. This summer we stayed in the northern part and landed at ~1500km. In a better German car this time ;) Love road trips and your videos! Regards from Sweden :)

[@purplecatloverrandompizza]

I remember when my family was on our way to Colorado and it just rained and we were sleeping at a campsite with a tent and we couldn't get the fire started because everything was wet😂😂😂 at that same place i got to take a night swim at the pool there and we were camping right next to a stream

[@titletownakaboston3909]

I notice you didn't stop in Boston on your trip. Too bad. There is so much history in this city. You could have also, taken a drive down to Plymouth to see Plymouth Plantation and Plymouth Rock. From there you could have gone down the Cape or as people not from New England call it, Cape Cod. After the Cape, how about a visit to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket? You missed a lot.

[@purplecatloverrandompizza]

Were driving from iowa to to Wisconsin tomorrow, were staying at a cabin by a lake where we can swim, kayake and fish, and were not aloud to have our phones when we get there, on our way there and back we are aloud to have them

[@Saffron.Aerowyn_07]

Lol...spoken like a PARENT...I totally get it!!!....sometimes you just have to go to another place (in your own mind) so you won't lose it.😉

[@purplecatloverrandompizza]

I kind of feel bad for my parents, they have to go on a road trip to Wisconsin then a week without electronics with 2 teenagers who are me and my brother

[@Buiko1]

Roadtrips with children can be very exhausting. You have to make frequent stops along the road. Also you get a lot of flies on the windscreen if you drive during the summer.

[@woltersworld]

Who doesn't love bug guts blocking your view? :)

[@bethdibartolomeo2042]

Ahhhhhh cuteness overload! ^_^

[@doloresguevara1947]

You got my subscription,keep up the good work.

[@woltersworld]

dolores guevara thank you :)

[@BillGreenAZ]

Your kids will treasure these memories for the rest of their lives! Did your wife buy any clothes on the trip? I remember how you like to buy clothes when you travel.

[@woltersworld]

Thank you. She did pick up a few things on the way.

[@toy4x4nj]

I buy a note book to track my travel journeys

[@jakelowe4128]

There's a Bob's Diner in Brewster, NY too haha

[@mattreina9336]

Oh man I'm in Montreal!

[@hittingtax2670]

Is that a Ford Flex? 😎

[@JSTONE9352]

I like reading historical markers but others want to just skip that and keep moving, I haven't found a solution on how to deal with that, I want the history, others are not as interested. Anyone else run into that kind of situation?

[@brandiec4882]

John Stone take a picture of the markers for review later if your group is moving to quick. also makes good additions to photo albums or scrap books

[@purplecatloverrandompizza]

John Stone make them listen tp hamilton and theyll be all over American history and the American revolution, well im just hamiltrash though

[@tannerwilson4843]

The limit for road trips for # of hours to get somewhere would probably be about 8-10 hours! Anything longer then that and it's better to fly (at least in the USA)! Especially if you can plan your trip ahead!

[@TRPGpilot]

Tanner Wilson: If you fly then it will not be a ROAD trip now would it?

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

Ha. Construction. In the summer. Not in Canada. Here they decide that ANY time but summer is just fine. Explains why it takes ages, and in the end the road is still like surface of the moon in most places.

[@madhulikaP]

Sorry, but I have to ask...how do u get to take so many days off from work?

[@JCC301]

madhulikaP KZbin is his job

[@pauliejay4161]

@MrJre4491 So he teaches art?

[@justjacqueline2004]

Wonderful ideas for us non-Americans except for the security which is a nightmare at entry points,this is definitely one of the most off putting aspect of travelling to the USA,never mind the flight.Over all the USA was wonderful,what little we say of it,and just how far major icons were from each other,rather like Pisa in Italy.But best of all were the people we met in the hinterland and the magnificent food and wine,who'd of know?

[@justjacqueline2004]

Maria das Santos Oh by the way,Ina Garten is so right,American blue cheese is wonderful.

[@woltersworld]

Exactly

[@officialflorint]

Who asks are we there yet in 2020 you can just look at the GPS 😅

[@woltersworld]

Got kids? Mine ask when we are in our subdivision 😆😆😆

[@NHL07DS]

Hey Mark, have you ever hitchhiked? I spent May hitchhiking Eastern Canada

[@woltersworld]

Not on purpose

[@purplecatloverrandompizza]

My dads car never recovered from our trip to Colorado

[@panama-canada]

6:34 - you wasted 3 hours in 2 days??? Try traversing Toronto in rush hour.

[@kylesergeant5370]

You were in Williamsburg? I was in Williamsburg not more than a week ago!

Thank you

Hello, Mark. Firstly, happy fourth of July. Did you ever end up getting to Iceland? I just got back after being there for a week and it was amazing. It's great how many day trips you can take from the capital to other areas of the island, each being different, but awesome in their own way with all the different types of landscapes. A question for you, kind of a broad one. What do you think the future will being for travel? Is it something that is going to get increasingly more difficult and expensive in terms of areas of the world being off limits and airline tickets getting more and more pricey? Do you think there will be a revolution of sorts making international travel much easier for everyone, with possibly new methods or means of travel? Will the type of vacations continue to change? Over the past ten years or so we've seen things like hostels and Air BNB growing rapidly, previously off limits areas of thew world opening up for tourist revenue, and the idea of a vacation not being as straight froward as it used to be, with more active and exotic things to do. I'm curious to hear what you think traveling will be like ten years or so from now. As always, great videos.

[@woltersworld]

We are uploading the Iceland videos right now actually :) I think the future holds more Airbnb type accommodations around the world. I see travel becoming more accessible to people but I don't see it getting cheaper sadly

[@caseyvee4419]

Griswolds, much?

[@woltersworld]

My idol. Especially at Christmas :)

[@caseyvee4419]

woltersworld A friend of mine was in the original VACATION. Mickey Jones played the mechanic who said "And I'm askin' how much you got."

[@nattykatty1673]

I wonder what country he liked the most

[@RichardsWorld]

Americans can probably figure out a cross country trip accross the USA. But how about a good itinerary for cross country Canada. I don't see one good video of this. I asked some Canadians and they mostly say there are going to be many boring long country/forest lengths. I've drove cross-country in the U.S. many times, and have many hours of driving in Mexico, but I have only crossed in to Canada, I hate their customs officers! But I'd like to do a cross-country drive there, but I don't see much info on that. I can only think about go during the warm months, and stop at the bigger cities.

[@woltersworld]

Richard's World we did Saint Johns, PEI, Quebec City, Montreal, Ottawa, Kingston, Toronoto, Niagara Falls, (then we should have continued on) to Banff then Winnipeg, then Edmonton/Calgary then through rockies to finish off in Vancouver

[@DanielMonteiroNit]

[@BronzeBellaBria]

Can Jocelyn do a women's travel wardrobe video? All her outfits look so on point and practical.

[@woltersworld]

I have asked her and she said she will try to put something together.

[@BronzeBellaBria]

Thank you Jocelyn and Mark!

[@samuelmattoso8093]

Where do you teach and what subject?

[@TheSaneHatter]

I'm a "brown-bag lunch" kind of guy: do you have any advice on making that work for road trips? (I *have* done it on Amtrak, and on the plane.)

[@woltersworld]

We hit grocery stores to stock up. Makes it fun to see some of the food cultural differences

[@20001belkin]

Have you done road trips in Europe as well ?

[@woltersworld]

Yep. Shorter drives

[@Frodokeuh]

lost and found footage? or did you shave your beard? :p

[@emilh.k.homaidi4858]

Not yet :(

woltersworld haha ;D

[@nattykatty1673]

I hate thething where i gotta pee

[@woltersworld]

Natasja Leysen so true... so true

[@BopsRusher]

What you can be arrested for peeing? I mean sure you cant just pull it out in middle of town :D, but if u are at a road i mostly just get out of the car to the side of the road. i mean if its a rural road maybe 2 cars are driving by :) I'm not from the US, is it one of those laws that are theoretically there but no one bothers or do people really report you to the police if they see you?

[@woltersworld]

Be careful. Cops won't care how bad you had to go :(

[@BopsRusher]

Ok :) In Germany its not a big thing it's really normal

[@orenabudi7058]

come to visit Israel
