[@sable2013]

Whenever I feel down, your channel always brings a smile to my face. Thank you for all you do and all my best to you and your wonderful family. If you ever come back to the US I hope you consider visiting Iowa. August during the State Fair would be a fun time for you.

[@yasmindocrat2143]

Hi guys this was so great! Love watching you guys, u both are just so genuine and always have positive uplifting things to say. Please can you tell me, did u feel nausea or motion sickness on the catamaran? And if so did u take any medication? Regards Yasmin from South Africa

[@woltersworld]

Croatia is gorgeous. And so awesome you get to travel with your parents. It really changed our relationship for the better. So glad your parents are getting to enjoy your adventures too. This makes me love you two even more. Big hug from our family to yours!

Aaaah I love all videos with your folks in. So cute that you surprised them with this and that boat looks amazing! I hope your dad does more skippering 😂😂 I always struggle with age limits on trips because I'm 33 and my gf is 39 so 35 is an awkward top limit 😕

[@flyingthenest]

Something like this would be perfect for you guys :) No age limit and an amazingly relaxin holiday!

[@LadyOfSummer]

Lovvvve it. Thinking about taking my mom on a trip to Europe in a few years, she really wants to see one of the lesser travelled places though. I'm obsessed with Estonia myself, so might drop in before I pull her into it. Might get a sister to make a list of places she'd like to see and maybe we'll make two or three stops and make a month out of it or something. I would love to travel with my mom and sister, they are my absolute heroes.

[@flyingthenest]

Wow that sounds like the most incredible trip!! So so excited for you :D

[@toobydude41]

I must be the only person on the planet to have never watched "Game of Thrones" lol Jess you are rocking that hat :) Well you look wonderful in anything. Stephen I was thinking Lake Bled just before you mentioned it..too funny! Sensational vlog once again. Lovely family. When you broke the news at the beginning it was sooo cute. Also...if you guys were still in Portugal you'd be dealing with some serious weather issues. Just hearing that they were getting hit hard with the remains of Leslie, a former Atlantic hurricane

[@flyingthenest]

hehe so glad we could surprise them with something like this :)
