Thanks so much!

[@thechargerprincipal]

Thank you for sharing your amazing trip with us. Your presentations are so down-to-earth and authentic. Although we will probably never be able to go on such a grand adventure, it is great to be able to see it through your eyes!

Thank you so much!

Nancy - I also collect Christmas ornaments at each place we visit. Perhaps several times throughout the cruise you can show the ornaments you’ve picked up. 🎄

[@livingphase2]

Great idea. Will do!

[@pattilikar2581]

So do I! I have a small travel tree❤️

[@debbielow8605]

You’ve absolutely inspired us to look at a South American cruise. The scenery is just stunning! A bit of an expensive trip from Australia but it looks so worth it. 😛 Those fjords were so beautiful ❤

[@livingphase2]

Debbie, thank you so much for the super thanks. That was more than generous of you. Yes, South America was amazing and quite a surprise to us how much we really did enjoy it. We've said about many of the stops, as you probably saw in our videos, we would love to go back and visit again. Hope you can make it there from Australia. And we will see your lovely land in just a couple of weeks. Thanks again!!!

[@rebeccaauld5054]

Loved the video! The views are amazing. That's a lot of birds. The restaurant looked amazing. The glaciers and waterfalls are stunning!

Glad you enjoyed it

It sure looks like the two of you are really having an awful time..... LOL! GREAT video and so educational. Thank you!

[@livingphase2]

Thank you for your kind words.

One of my other favorite travel blogs is Snow and Curt. They drove their converted van with two cats all the way from the US to Ushuaia and are now traveling Europe in their van. They share in depth visits with the people, the wildlife, the grocery stores, even the medical systems (Snow is recovering from heart failure) and they have the luxury of time in places they like. While your life and travels look very comfortable and luxurious aboard ship and on tours, I think just getting the barest glimpse of each place you visit would be frustrating to me, so I applaud your plans to revisit places you especially enjoyed on your journey. I will probably never visit most of these places, so I applaud you for taking viewers along to enjoy your adventures vicariously. Safe travels and thank you for taking us along.

[@livingphase2]

Thank you for following along on our journey. We have called this trip the sampler platter, and we can then decide if and when what places we will return to.😀

[@Tube009ish]

I'm thoroughly enthralled by your world tour story. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks so much. If I would have seen this, we would have waved back from our balcony!😀

We enjoyed the opportunity to drive down to the pier. It gave us the feeling of being a very small part of your voyage. We have seen all your videos so far. Great job editing and narrating. ​@@livingphase2

Such great content. Thanks for sharing and you do a marvelous job with the narration and editing. Always entertaining! I’ve been following the ship on Marine Traffic so when I saw you calling on Ushuaia I was really excited for this episode. It’s on my bucket list, so happy you said you would gladly return. I think I may go just for those crab legs!😂

What's a travel by myself a little bit but I can't do it by myself anymore because of my knees and my back😢 but I love watching your videos it makes me feel like I'm there

[@jenluv]

You give the best tips! I don't think I'll most likely end up in Ushuaia in my travels, but so great to know to bring local currency to the post office just in case I do end up making the trip. Sorry you didn't get to eat the whole crab, but glad you at least got in and got to eat some dishes with it in there. We hope to have some on our Alaskan cruise on Quantum in July! That Malbec for $3-$5 a bottle! WOW! That's amazing! I'd love to hear a quick update if you open a bottle what you thought of it. Thank you for the beautiful shots of the waterfalls! I totally hear you that the photos and videos won't do them justice. There's something amazing about how small you feel in a place like that. And thank you again for sharing!

[@livingphase2]

Thank you for your kind words. Perhaps we could do a KZbin short when we open a bottle of wine. Thanks for the suggestion.😀

Really enjoyed your video. You both seem very wholesome, genuine and most lovely. I recognized you two from a collection of clips from what i would call "The 9 Month Drama Cruise" talking about how they had run out of a bunch of wine on your cruise. I am glad that they let you buy and bring your own then. I hope you continue to have a great time and enjoy yourselves. Thank you so much

Thanks so much. And they never completely ran out of wine. They just ran out of several types.😀

[@sammutoff7889]

We are watching your current video. We have enjoyed them immensely. We will ask questions occasionally. Are you not afraid eating street food in these countries . And can you exchange money on your ship?

[@livingphase2]

Typically, we are not afraid to eat street food. As for exchanging money, for us to get out local currency, we have to go to an ATM. When we return to the ship, if we have any remaining currency, sometimes the casino will exchange it back for dollars, but not always. Surprisingly, many places will take US dollars in the high tourist areas.

So good so see you really throwing yourselves into everything, with understanding and appreciation. I think you are enjoying this so much because you are so open and not ‘entitled’ or ‘superior’. People like you deserve experiences like this - keep being great humans 🙂 If you back to Ushuaia or Punta Arenas, take the side trip to Torres del Paine National park for a few days at least. Lots of lodges and wide variety of walks.

[@livingphase2]

Thank you for your kind words. And thank you for the tip about the national park. I’ve added it to my notes for any future visit.😀

The end of the world! How amazing! Love the video. Mike is very adventurous with what he eats. I have a question for Nancy. How are you going to cut your hair or even other services that women typically can't do without?

[@livingphase2]

Good question! I had my haircut pretty short before coming on the cruise and I do have a pair of scissors to trim my hair as needed. I could get my haircut on the ship or somewhere in Port if I’m desperate.😀

[@denisemurphy5188]

Hi, now that you have been sailing over a month are there any items you wish you had packed, or regret bringing?

[@livingphase2]

We were preparing for two years, so truthfully, we feel pretty good with what we brought. I don’t think there’s anything we have regretted bringing. We wish we would have brought a second selfie stick.

Pro tip2 write your post card on sea days and just mail from there. Often get another card to mail at next stop

[@livingphase2]

That's a great idea!

[@Wolfcathorse]

Note, don't feel too safe when the proprietor brings the transaction machine out to you instead of taking your card, it can be fitted with a skimmer

Absolutely love y’all! Have you experienced any homesickness? And do you ever have moments of getting on each others nerves? How do you handle all that? As a mom of four and now a nana, I’d like your recommendation about the length of a cruise I could handle.

[@livingphase2]

I sometimes feel a little homesick for the grandbabies. Typically, we don’t get on each other‘s nerves, but if needed, there are plenty of places on the ship to go to. 😀 And as for a length of cruise, I wouldn’t go any shorter than seven days.

[@FunandBudget]

I know that this video was made a while ago, but I was wondering what was the going rate of the King Crab?

[@livingphase2]

It was on the expensive side. Depending on the size of the crab, it would range between $50 and $100. US

[@lynnfranklin5098]

Have to go to DAT DOG in New Orleans you can get alligator menu of about 22 Different sausage dogs

[@livingphase2]

I love this tip!. Thanks for sharing about New Orleans.

[@Skt4me]

Do you think the food on board the ship is getting boring? As some are saying?

[@livingphase2]

Not really because there are so many choices and the food choices change daily. They have a 28 day rotation in the main dining room. Today in the windjammer, they had cherries jubilee, which was unusual, and it was absolutely fabulous. At home, poor Mike has to put up with me making taco Tuesday almost every week, or taco salad, Tuesday!

We don’t get any discount on excursions through Royal Caribbean. Many times though, we will use short excursions group, or even contact the company directly as because these are ways we can get the same excursion at a lower price.
