You two are so cute! Eric's infamous rust yellow jacket and Allison's Big Purple Barney backpack. You guys always cheer me up! Eric can sing too! I can tell he is a musician because of all his musical notes.

[@IngridAlcazarOficial]

Allison receive a big hug, I really hope you can get travel without any problem again.

[@JeffJefferyUK]

Loved the way at 6:50 you made the panini say "Eight bucks". :-D

[@justinleaskjl]

Sorry for your bad start in the UK hope your UK adventures make up for it were proud to have you two lovely travelers on our little island enjoy your stay :)

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! We're trying to stay positive :D

[@annainaspen]

I just went through dealing with a missing passport. My situation was all my fault. I had to wait for my Airbnb to be ready in Paris. I sat at a café and when I left, I left my bag with my passport in it on the terrace. It’s a horrible sinking feeling when you realize it’s gone. I had to get an emergency passport since my flight was four days away and this happened on a Thursday afternoon. I travel alone and luckily had my phone and a card holder with a couple of credit cards and cash in it. It’s not a fun situation but I’m happy you were in London where there is an American Embassy.

[@richardtalbot8769]

Body scanners are at some uk airports if you refuse them you get a pat down search, Istr there was a case where one airport said you refuse you don't fly. As to getting to Cornwall catch the sleeper? It's quite an experience to go to sleep in london and wake up in Devon / Cornwall.

[@paholaporter1391]

I loveeee to see how Allison take care of you... ❤️ 2 creams for his boy

[@richardlaundon]

Welcome back guys! Cornwall at this time of year is great but be warned the schools are now on summer vacation so it will be very very busy. Not sure if you have time but could I recommend coming up to Birmingham at least for a few days. So much history here in my part of the world plus the added bonus of Cadbury World (see them make all the chocolate plus buy at very reduced prices compared to the stores).

[@andyjenkins6913]

Sorry for the rough start to your UK trip! It'll get better! Sending good vibes your way! Travel onward my friends!

[@philipnunn1816]

Welcome back to Albion...... Cornwall and the Penwith Peninsula in particular are beautiful. We go down there every year as the wife's sister lives in St Just which is only a few miles North of Lands End...... You must have a Warrens Cornish Pasty when you are down there and you must do the drive from Land's End to St Ives round the North Coast Road..... The views are just stunning!!

[@CarWhiz22]

So glad that you guys are coming to the west country! If you liked the north then you will love Cornwall. Make sure you have a proper cornish pasty, scones, and go on as many coastal walks as you can. Also the north coast is great for surfing if you're in to that sort of thing. Eden project also highly recommended. Hope you guys have brought rain coats as has been pretty rainy recently! Happy exploring.

[@Theendlessadventure]

+CarWhiz22 thanks for the tips!

[@Dan-yw9sg]

Sorry to hear about your passport issues. I always make photocopies of my passport ID page as well as drivers license, and carry those separate from my passport, just in case! Good luck getting the replacement quickly! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheWanderingWife]

Dan 821 I do that and send copies to myself then download them to my iPhone and my iPad so I have it in multiple places!

[@jessicagardner4267]

Airlines don't accept photocopies of passports. I tried in March. You have to have a passport to exit and enter countries.

[@Dan-yw9sg]

Jessica Amanda hey! Yes I know that they don't, but it makes it much easier to get a replacement passport from the foreign embassy if you have a copy of your passport along with your other documentation. It saved me a weeklong hassle in Thailand because I had proof!

[@TheWanderingWife]

Jessica, you're right. I didn't mean to imply that they would, and thankfully, I've never lost mine, but I've always been told that if you do, having copies will help expedite its replacement.

[@Theendlessadventure]

We have copies but luckily they didn't need them! But definitely always helpful to have them copies handy 👍🏻

[@deniseg-hill1730]

London to Cornwall easy by train from Paddington. Heathrow express to Paddington 15 minutes but not cheap. Cheapest way to Cornwall is Coach.

[@CarWhiz22]

Yep you could try National Express for buses. Much cheaper than train but train tends to be much nicer and a more pleasant and interesting experience (I would recommend train as goes direct without changing, plus you can charge devices etc.)

[@Theendlessadventure]

Yeah we just couldn't find anything that was in our price range. It ended up being much cheaper to get a small airbnb for two nights. But we'll be driving out there with Nikita tomorrow 👍🏻

[@deniseg-hill1730]

The Endless Adventure Yes travel is expensive in the UK. Cornwall is fantastic. Hope the weather improves.

[@danfish88]

google some thing called the mega bus. its only £10 pounds to get from London Victoria to Cornwall. Try getting it to Truro or Newquay in Cornwall

[@MK-ex4pb]

Trains are hella expensive there but the buses coaches whatever are affordable

[@kerriewheeler365]

Oh Allison😩😩😩😳😳I am so sorry. Everything is going to be ok. Frustration and beyond!! Good luck and sending my love.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks so much Kerrie! It was definitely a stressful day 😂 so your comment really does help!

[@yverose8355]

Happened to me in Kenya!! Lucky for me I had an amex card and they have amazing international rescue insurance, had new passport fed ex'd in 24 hours 😅 glad they let you into uk so welcome back!

[@Theendlessadventure]

That's amazing!

[@MK-ex4pb]

Yve Rose what card? Is it all Amex cards?

[@yverose8355]

Michael King hi, mine is from UK, have had it for years so not sure now. Best bet is to go on their website as they have several tiers, some with sneaky charges!!

[@poeticmic6219]

lands end is where Sean Conway finished his world record run from Scotland, the complete opposite side of the nation :) Worth a mention...

[@Joker-yw9hl]

I live in the UK so this is really cool. I know you've been here before but that's the past! Really hope you have a good time out here again and look forward to the vids

[@Joker-yw9hl]

(I'm sorry guys about the lost passport btw but I'm glad that Britain welcomed you in anyhow!)

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks a lot, happy to be here again!

[@emsparamedic5183]

It's nice to see travelers from STL.

[@80dubz]

So glad you guys are going to Cornwall! There's so much to see there, check out StMicheals Mont, St Ives beach, Porthleven harbour!

[@james4eng44]

Welcome to England guys! Check out Norfolk, east side of the country but has lovely countryside, if you ever want to come this way, we can help with a room!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks for the offer! Hopefully we can get out that way next time :D

[@BigCrazyOutdoorAdventures]

Looks like you guys are also from St. Louis or have family here at least and that's awesome. I always hate going through security. I've gone through the body scanner and I'll do it again. I'm really not a fan of any of it, but If it makes it safer and potentially quicker I'm all for it. Bummer about the passport. Don't let it get you down have fun on the trip.

[@jessicagardner4267]

I feel your pain. Someone stole my passport on the train to the Athens airport. I ended up having to stay for 3 extra days and pay $155 for a new one. It sucked but I had a fabulous trip to Europe that I wouldn't trade for the world. Hopefully, that is the worse hiccup on your upcoming travels. Take care!

[@Theendlessadventure]

oh yikes, sounds terrible! Glad the trip went well though 👍🏻

[@annestrasko7581]

Oh man, I'm sorry! If you need some cheering up, try a pint at Sir Ian McKellan's pub, The Grapes!!! It's hundreds of years old, and is out of the way on the Thames. It's a good mini adventure. :) Good luck with the passport issue!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks for the recommendation! We'll have to hit it up next time we're here :D

[@nicholasleeson6765]

Hello glad to see your in the UK! Hope you enjoy Cornwall! It would be nice to see a vlog on which part of UK you enjoyed the most!? Sorry about passport and the pain it caused, suspect it was left on plane and now probably sold on. If you get time try a cider producer, it would nice to know how much cheaper there cider is compared with supermarkets!? I'm sure you'll find lots to do whilst there! Enjoy!

[@ronald9074]

Welcome back to old Blighty, ha ha. Sorry in advance about the weather, but you two seem like a resilient couple who will make the most of whatever is thrown at you. Keep vlogging :-)

[@Theendlessadventure]

We'll sure try at least!

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

Well hopefully they can straighten everything out for y'all. Thank you for sharing!

[@Theendlessadventure]

We sure hope so!

[@markg6860]

I'm a dual citizen (UK & USA). I always keep a photocopy of both passports separate from my passports (different bag, etc). Just being able to present the passport numbers, etc. will help smooth out most problems.

[@charlotteb6132]

The megabus is the cheapest way to get to Cornwall from London but it does take about 10 hours. Travel in Britain is ridiculously expensive I'm afraid. I hope you make it to Cornwall in the end. It my home county and is truly beautiful.

[@danfish88]

I advised the same thing, Megabus can be as little as £10 to Cornwall or as little as £1.50 if you book far enough in advance.

[@jimmarley3214]

dont know how long you are in the UK but if u have the time and the funds you should really visit wales it has some of the most beautiful scenery in the uk and this is coming from an englishman snowdonia especially is amazing the scenery is breathtaking

[@emilyholmes4154]

Jim Marley as a Welsh person i agree

[@Theendlessadventure]

We're definitely going to spend a little time in Wales! Might not make it to Snowdonia this time though 😁 we'll see

[@TheKruxed]

The south west of Wales is much like west Cornwall, minus the tourists. North West is very nice scenery and the locals are quite entrenched :-)

[@alwaysforevercurious8607]

I agree. When I was traveling Europe in the early 70s, Wales became on of my four favorite countries.

[@NewingtonBoy]

Don't forget to check out pie & mash when your in London Town!

[@BilboScotland]

Bad Luck, these things happen, don't let it spoil your trip. The west country is arguably the nicest part of England. Lots of lovely little coastal villages, seafood a speciality. Plymouth has a top rated public aquarium if you like that sort of thing. Your in England, have a wee cup of tea, watch Poldark and Doc Martin, have a pint of two of Scrumpy and all will be well in the world.

[@TheKingOfBeans]

Welcome back to England guys, I live close to Cornwall and the weather is going to be crap like a typical English summer but I hope you enjoy your time in the west country 😁

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! Hopefully the weather will play nice while we're here 😄

[@PaganPrince11]

Hi guys take train from airport into London Victoria from Victoria station walk too Victoria Coach station about 10 min walk some good pubs on way, like the William Shakespeer. Book onto a National Express Coach to Exeter coach station then walk to Exeter ST Davids station, Get a train into Cornwall as far as you can too Lands end but I think the last stop is Penzance. This is the closest station I think.

[@mimiteen15]

I hope you found your passport after all this travelling. 😊 I usually recommend to people to scan your passport send it to yourself by email and print it have an extra copy in your carry on and bag. ❤Travel tips 101!!!

[@delbydoo]

So sorry to hear that things went pear-shaped; really hope the Embassy come through for you, and cheaply (fingers crossed). Welcome to the UK. Keep smiling :)

[@Theendlessadventure]

It happens! Thanks for the support :D

[@TripHacksDC]

I can't believe you guys don't have Global Entry or TSA-Pre with how much you travel! I don't think I've been in a body scan machine for a domestic flight in years.

[@Theendlessadventure]

For real! We're definitely looking into TSa pre soon.

[@MattNav]

Eric, Allison ! Word of advice ! Don"t get PreCheck outright. Get Global Entry because it will also give you TSA Pre for free. That way you get thru US Immigration in 60 secs flat for 5 years for just $100 Your Known Traveller number with GE is the same system as TSA Pre. I'm also tempted to get it but we Brits have to pay an additional £42 fee for a UK background check to get into the US GE application system :/

[@TripHacksDC]

Seconding @Matthew Tasker - definitely go with Global Entry.

[@MK-ex4pb]

Yea get global entry

[@Zero11s]

there is no such thing as Global, Earth is Flat and stationary

[@BucketListTravellers]

Omg, I was stressed all the way through watching that. Seems like nothing was going right that day! Glad they at least let you into England.

[@georgianapage7198]

I opted out of the body scanners while I was pregnant, and now I have global clearance, so unless I get hit with a random I usually get by with just the metal detector.

[@divebigblue]

In the nicest possible way 'You Plonker' LOL Have a great time and look out for the chough's :)

[@shannonbell4747]

I know this is an old video, and I honestly did not look through all of the comments - so this may have already been discussed. I am an RN who also loves to travel and recently wondered, myself, about the safety of airport scanners. A typical Chest X-Ray exposes a person to approx 10 millirems of absorbed radiation, while an Abdominal CT Scan could expose a person to as much as 1,000 millirems. The new scanners they have at the airport can expose a person to 0.005-0.01 millirems of absorbed radiation per scan. Although, yes, the levels of total exposure build up over time (especially as often as you two travel) however, you are still severely under any dangerous dosing. Basically you would have to be scanned at the airport approximately 100,000 times to equal the same amount of radiation as one abdominal CT. Hope this helps ease your mind. Happy travels!!

[@calichef1962]

I hope the passport thing works itself out quickly. Sorry this leg of the journey is a little rough.

[@SuperDare83]

Welcome back to England, sorry about your passport, these things happen

[@Theendlessadventure]

Yeah, it's inevitable I guess when you travel often. Trying to stay positive!

[@mashpotatoes7632]

I lost mine in London and it showed up at the Canadian Consolate!

[@alynette]

i probably would have cried from frustration if i knew i had my passport and then it vanished. you know, it probably grew legs and just walked off ;) hubs and i also flew out of st louis when we moved here but our layover was in chicago :) maybe it was fate that you weren't able to get to cornwall when you wanted and decided to stay in london before you even knew what would have happened. :)

[@Theendlessadventure]

+alynette exactly what we were thinking!

[@joits]

I'm super paranoid about my passport. I think I check it every hour or so.

[@trunksGav]

Yeah that would have been a pain.. If not decided to stay in London and gone straight to Cornwall, they'd probably still have to visit the embassy. so luckily they were already in London

[@elaineder8914]

Allison, sorry you lost your passport😟. I can empathize with you. Almost lost my passport in Mexico while doing a shore excursion.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! Yeah, it's no bueno

[@therushden]

Nightmare on the passport front. I always suffer jetlag and can never sleep on planes. Have a great trip.

[@sandraandrews9907]

My biggest travel fear!!😲😲 I try to have it (passport) close to me, especially when i'm travelling outside of the USA! Like one person stated, make copies of the passport and have the copies at home and a few other places. All the best in your future travels. Blessings to the two of you. ☺☺🚄🚘

[@hannahp590]

Guys! I've been travelling between London and Devon for the past week as I'm moving house to Devon. I definitely could've given you a lift!

[@Theendlessadventure]

Oh bummer!!! We wish KZbin had a chat feature where we could post stuff like that. We definitely would have hopped on board :)

[@espowari]

I fly a LOT - I'm TSA pre - so I never ever go through the body scan. Also - love the music on the video today!

[@TheWanderingWife]

Brian Esposito my husband is million miler with Delta, and he has global entry, and he didn't get TSA pre the last trip, so be prepared.

[@espowari]

I paid to get the background check and am always TSA Precheck.

[@TheWanderingWife]

Brian Esposito so did he. We were told 6% of the time you will be opted out.

[@chrisg8746]

Not all airlines have TSA precheck. Ones who don't are mainly international ones like Norwegian.

[@TheWanderingWife]

Chris G, it happened to him last week here in our home airport and the usual airline where he flies at least 4-5 times per month and has always gotten TSA Pre before. That's why we inquired about it, because I did get it, and I only fly half as much as he does. Nobody has a definitive answer, so it's still a bit of a mystery.

[@LitzysDelight]

Aaaaaw big hugs

[@deniseg-hill1730]

I always keep my passport in a small bag against the front of my body.

[@tootsla1252]

Yup! Exactly - in a zip compartment of my cross-body travel purse, right up against my belly. And I don't take one step after showing it to TSA until I stow it back and zip it into its compartment. And I never put it anywhere else or walk with it in my hand. Never!

[@hendersonkirton2114]

Hi guys can you tell me why Alson have to carry such a very big back pack?

[@obligatorytraveler8292]

Thanks for the heads up. I'm flying out of JFK for the first time soon. Will be sure to get up extra early and eat free airport hotel breakfast first.

[@Solid3d-Melb]

I know the feeling!! I have to renew mine because I've lost my Australian passport

[@JTMcAwesomeFace]

I didn't know you could opt out of the body scanner hmm

[@randyhendrix5375]

Geez, dang ok passport eh. Hope y'all find it. Happy travels

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! Hopefully it'll turn up 😁

[@lostfox27]

The cheapest was Starbucks - how often has that been said.

[@andreas_adventures]

I never knew you could opt out of the scanner

[@helenweight5932]

You could have got a flight from London to newquay and then the national bus to Penzance, or the megabus

[@rlund651]

They do it here in NC. I went into the body scan and I didn't raise my hands fast enough and it beeped so they had to do a full body pat down right there. I was touched in places I don't even want to think about. It was embarrassing.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Yep, those pat downs are getting pretty invasive 😁

[@KarinasWorld]

Erick, heard you singing and it reminded me of the jam out session in Cuba 🙌🏼

[@carlclifford64]

I sympathise, Alison. I had my Passport stolen in Changi airport, on a trip back from Borneo to Aus. The airline was very antsy and did not want me to board. They eventually phoned the passport office in Canberra and put me on the phone to them. I answered a few security questions and the official said, “yeah, we think that you are you”, and approved me flying. The airline still wasn’t keen on me flying, until I pointed out, that if I went, I became Australia’s problem, but if I stayed, I became their problem. They let me board and I got through OK at the other end.

[@jonjohnson2844]

You can opt out of the body scan? Never knew that.

[@SugaDontPlay]

Never line up when waiting for a plane, just stay seated and wait for them to call your group/row. Or, even wait to be the very last on the plane, that wait you're comfortable and not slowly crawling to your seat.

[@katepotter4042]

I got lucky last time I flew and got to accompany my 7 year we he went through, then got pre-check on the way back. No funky scanning for me. I only fly like once in great while because I'm scared to death of it. The hubby had to go through the whole deal though.

[@thomasa4239]

Kate Potter you can get a KTN and get it all the time

[@coldbrewer003]

Global Entry and/or TSA precheck is your friend.

[@lockload100]

Welcome to London!

[@Joyseeker]

Get to Treen...... Isolated Village on top of cliffs with beeches below. Great B and Bs, Village pub with meadery food, shop and if you dare a camp site on those cliffs! :o)

[@Sara1FiM]

oh thats crap, hope all works out with the passport and you can enjoy your stay in England

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks!

[@alphapapa3042]

I've been really enjoying you guys' trips - especially the UK ones of course :-) Glad that this episode turned out well. Just a little ask.. could you include a little interaction with the people that you meet? I know that it is a vlog (is that right?), but I always think that it seems a bit disconnected from the people that you must meet on your travels, and missing some of the (hopefully) warmth when meeting people on your Endless Adventure. Hope that you did meet some good people this side of the pond!

[@missnovember8151]

heh, classic! I worked a lot with American groups and there were always ppl loosing passports which is a bit of a drama when you loose it in London and the tour has to be in Rome next day, so lots of stay behinds to deal with..... wishing You good luck and I really enjoy Your vlogs!

[@abucketofelves]

Plenty of trains from London to Cornwall

[@Theendlessadventure]

We just couldn't find one that wasn't a lot more than we were prepared to pay 😁 luckily Nikita was planning on renting a car so we're just waiting for him and we'll all ride out together 👍🏻

[@thekanuck2778]

Personally I just agree to the body scan it seems a lot easier and the airport security seem to question a ton more when I opted out the one time, this is also flying out of Toronto,Canada not an American airport

[@Theendlessadventure]

Yeah, it's a shame that they take it so personally when you opt out! Really makes it a hassle.

[@thekanuck2778]

It really does, Especially In a major airport when your already in a pinch for time.

[@annother3350]

Always opt out of that scanner

[@ufewl]

Where are they from? I was thinking they were from California by their accent, plus it says a 4 hour flight to NYC so that seems about right, it says "we left San Francisco" on their homepage so i guess was right.

[@212melc]

Oh goodness, hope it worked out at the American Embassy today. I issue emergency travel documents to Brits in your situation in the US. Hopefully won't be too much hassle for you.

[@tiana6990]

Ooo yes they do that London

[@kineticvillagemedia]

It's so much better to lose a passport in another country than the USA the embassies are much more efficient at getting you a new passport. I did that in Africa one time but it all worked out. It still is a major suck though.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Yeah, sure seems that way!

[@JamaicanMeCrazy86]

I genuinely thought it was just us Brits who queue needlessly at airports hours before their flight! Now I wait in the bar until everyone else is on, your seat will still be there if you're first on or last on!

[@TheEverCuriousJen]

I miss London!

[@nicholasleeson6765]

Meant to say not tried a scanner but some how fear them, all the fuss they put you through to be scanned!

[@alimoe1970]

I set off those scanners in 2 countries in 1 trip, no one could figure out why. It turns out it was my hairclip lol

[@thedougandponyshow]

I always do the scanner. Just me, but it seems faster.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Definitely faster for sure!

[@sevenpointfive5450]

I assume that the UK border, took in to account you filled out the forms on the plane and your partner was there and you had been before as they would have had notice of your last visit, hence letting you in. If not i am surprised you where let in.

[@Theendlessadventure]

It definitely may have helped! But they were mostly helpful and speedy about the process luckily 👍🏻

[@Shaun_Garratt]

Sucks about the passport: you guys don't have much luck with losing things on planes. Wonder if someone stole it. Hopefully issue resolved now (even if at great expense) and that the rest of the trip will go smoothly. Cornwall is a lovely place, just hope the weather improves for you.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Yeah, definitely not the best luck And honestly we're not convinced the guy next to us didn't take it 😒

[@scottmilligan108]

Awwwww AL!!!!!! Pullin' a Penn and Teller!! Hope everything works out smoothly! Stay safe!

[@Theendlessadventure]

😂

[@jessicalea2010]

You can opt out of the scan?! I've never heard of that. It doesn't bother me anyway. I just get scanned 😂

[@saskiapanter]

I once put my id card in my jeans pocket and put it in the wash (this was pre creditcardsize IDcards) 2 days before I went to Spain. I had to go to the military airforcebase to get a temporarily passport which was VERY expensive too. And only was worth 4 weeks. Man that was one expensive joke. 😱

[@joyce-in-Outreach]

Hi Allison and Eric 11/14/2020 5:45pm

[@Royalsfanallthetime]

I'm spoon glad you guys don't use the music 🎶 like this anymore. You're doing great .

[@funkymonkey1198]

I opt out of anything with radiation because I am a x-Ray tech and don't need any extra, even minimal. Radiation is everywhere. 👀 🌞😎

[@SmithyTheHobbit11]

Because you travel a lot would it be worth it getting 2 passports just in case of situations like this, I know you are able to do it with UK passports but not sure about a US passport.

[@ArnieandJo]

We're leaving for London tomorrow and I've been feeling stressed out for some reason, too. This video did not help! 😱

[@cct7558]

[@davidmartinez4713]

We left Poland via Paris to Orlando Florida, Poland we did go through security and border control and Paris also but in Orlando, there was a long line of Americans including us through security because it was easier for us, but going from Orlando to Paris it was Good American authority was fine but the French was very hard because the officers they looked mean and cranking and didn't care to much about Americans and the sad thing was we had to change our sim card to local carriers to work, well my phone did not work at all until we came back to the US and then i to buy a phone which i currently used now

[@staticcentrehalf7166]

If you were so pressed for time why stop off at 0:45?
