[@leeyoung9469]

Muchas felicidades Helen, legally old enough to have your first pint.

We stayed in Gara Suites when we first came to sort our residential visa for living in Tenerife. We stayed there in a private AirBnB for 2 months and found it to be quiet and clean. After getting our visa we stayed in another AirBnB in Los Cristianos centre for 3 months whilst we found and bought our apartment. We’ve now been living here 2 and a half years and love it, we’re literally living our dream. The Armas and Fred Olsen ferries from Los Cristianos go direct to El Hierro, La Gomera and La Palma.

[@nicolasumner1451]

Good luck , love your new life x

[@kirstieh9054]

Just been watching this video. It’s made me think of when me and my boyfriend went Tenerife. I had the best holiday ever. So would love to go back. I’ve just text him to hint at him taking me back there 😂 and yes we share our meals too and he always says how mine is always better than his. Keep up the good work you two are amazing xxx

[@dorsetcyclist]

Happy Birthday 🎂 Helen. Your fun attitude to life is a joy to watch. James, you have hit the jackpot with Helen and I am pretty sure Helen feels the same way about you. Take care and stay safe.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you so much 😊❤

[@Colchester-Fox]

Have to agree, she's the business. Rock on guys, keep on keeping on.

[@judithgittins4625]

Love the way Helen wanders off and leaves you behind xx

[@judithgittins4625]

Will you ever marry 😂

[@johnround1697]

[@koll789]

This is my favourite video. I play the opening over and over. Very clever editing, music, and story telling into. You should do more of this.

[@janetonks5974]

Happy Birthday to gorgeous Helen for Friday and well done gorgeous James for another wonderful video. You are so good at this, I am sure I am not the only one that feels right there with you. Love watching your brilliant relationship, it warms my heart. x

[@bythecurb]

Thank you so much, that's the vibe we're wanting to create

[@margaretaskew8220]

Really clean in fact, a lot cleaner than some of the rooms we’ve been in in England.

[@tomstovell7425]

Another great vid or vlog. Really good insight into places that can sometimes get a bit of stick. I like the costs throughout that give an idea of how much you might spend. Happy Birthday Helen. Hope you had a good one and I hope you both enjoyed your time away together.

[@stephenholloway5471]

Hi guys we stayed in Oro Negro 11-18th Jan £450 each half board,our 4th visit to the hotel,wish we'd known you were so close,we'd have bought Helen a birthday drink,you were opposite our hotel looking at the birds in the trees,take care Steve & Elaine (Wigan)

[@bythecurb]

Sorry that we missed you, hope you had a great time :-)

[@ailbekate09]

[@PeterSpencer-wb9rm]

When I'm feeling a bit low I watch you and Helen you put a big smile on my face .thank you keep up the good work ❤

[@davidhargreaves1728]

Ferry will go to Gomera. The island or even one of the other canary Islas, although it’s best to fly.

[@kaikito7662]

That intro was sooooooooo good that I kept going right back to the beginning; over, and over, and over again. Take a bow, James. Take a well-earned bow.

[@bythecurb]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@nudgenudgewinkwink3212]

The ferry goes to la gomera which is worth a visit but you need your passport if you go, parque Santiago are self catering apartments have a great time wish I were Thur!.

[@Two-Old-Travellers]

I love the sequence at the start of this video with the walkthrough the airport to the takeoff, very professionally done Must have taken a long time to get that all to tie together, well done that man.

[@kennethmoore7651]

[@daveb7095]

Happy returns Helen . As I said before just enjoy!!!! Dave

[@bythecurb]

Thank you Dave x

[@taffmanetothyme7]

I like the *funky* music (hint of classy jazz) you've been using. Especially on the opening segments to your videos *James.* Congratulations on your upcoming birthday *Helen.* Clearly you have a portrait of yourself going "manky" in the attic, as you look at least 5 years younger. Enjoy the sun, it's brass monkey time back in "blighty". 👌

[@bythecurb]

Thank you for the compliment 😊

[@suewilkinson910]

Enjoy your break in the sun. It’s bloody freezing here. I love Tenerife in the winter.

[@koll789]

Great opening sequence and music,, very clever and imaginative editing. Works really well.

[@PaulO-mv6ku]

Very nice - sunshine in January. What a boost compared to frozen January at home. Enjoy.

[@Chris-1912]

Happy birthday Helen have a great day 🎂. The seamless editing on the video especially at the beginning was very professional I like it. Enjoy the rest of your holiday.

[@bythecurb]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Michael-wk5tf]

Really like the editing at the beginning. Made it something special.

[@EnglishRose21]

Happy Birthday to a happy soul 💛 Love watching you both. ❤

[@Jennifer-ep1sr]

Liked the cinematic introduction. These videos are good because we live in Australia, and are too old for long haul flights now. Keep it up. ❤🇦🇺

[@mattbarnettscorrigatediron7050]

[@DarrenS-q4v]

Parque Santiago are a series of hotels / apartments. 1 & 2 are the oldest and are mainly privately owned apartments. Used to go to Parque Santiago 2 quite a bit when I was - kid. A family friend had an apartment there. They have small shopping complexes underneath. Last time I went to Santiago II most of the shops had closed down.

[@tinastock5212]

Happy birthday Helen for Friday, great vlog you two bounce off of each other and that great x

[@jonathanfinan722]

You're right about older chaps working in restaurants. It's always reassuring. The daftest one we had was on the south coast of Portugal. Typical touristy place but right enough. I ordered a dirty great tuna steak and the waiter said, word for word, "That is an excellent choice. It is fresh from the sea, which is there." while pointing at the very sea no more than 10 metres away. Quarteira since you ask.

[@lesley2767]

Yes me and my partner do that x

[@antonyhodgson6105]

Brilliant vlog. Looks like you are both having a brilliant time . Happy belated birthday to Helen 🥂

[@MrHandsomejackuk]

Get down to Sun king in the afternoon great there.. On the front los cristianos

[@pumbar]

I couldn't help but notice the absence of mobility scooters. Happy birthday for Friday, Helen.

[@ianwaller5700]

The ferry port has a roof top cafe where you can get something to eat that's cheap as chips, an hidden gem.

[@philiplythgoe7173]

That room beats the van. Never got a telly when l went abroad, 20 yrs ago though.

[@aimeewilde1564]

Have a fab holiday celebrating your birthday Helen! We fancy going back to Tenerife but it’s pricing itself out of the market at the moment.

[@bythecurb]

Everything seems to be going up at the moment 😞

[@atrampinthehills.841]

Love your videos folks...my faves at the mo

[@julietaylorcaldwell2879]

My favourite Canary island! Enjoyed your vlog! Take a trip on the ferry to La Gomera. Have a great birthday on Friday Helen, plenty of places to celebrate 🥰

[@oliverheaney3379]

There are six different parks Santiago‘s. Their named after old man, Santiago, who built all of those apartments back in the 70s. They were primarily tourist complexes, but in recent years have been bought out by private individuals who rent them to visitors. - the family owned the vast majority of the apartments. That includes the commercial Parc, Santiago, six.

[@davidmonkman1767]

A very nice clean room.enjoy you guys

[@SusanTurner-yo9lf]

Happy Birthday to Helen, what a great present , a holiday in Tenerife. Great video as usual, very entertaining, had my first girls holiday in las americas in 1986, so loving seeing this. Have a wonderful time.

[@janearothfeld]

Happy Birthday. Helen! "Dated but clean" is how I roll! Love that you think & say Helen is gorgeous, James. Bit of unsolicited advice: if it is a gift, y'might want to downplay saying how cheap it is. It's like giving with one hand and taking away with the other. Cheers...

[@GlynisJack]

I really enjoy these videos great to see you both have Dutch a great time enjoy .

[@trevormickleborough6377]

Used to have a apt in Tenerife now live in Thailand, take a walk down to Del Duque beach very nice but a bit posh You can spoil Helen!! I know I’m from Conisbrough!! Heard you mention Miami Beach it was my favourite breakfast place.
