I wish I could say this privately. Your narration would be greatly enhanced if you deleted the many “ya know”, “so” and “uh” fillers. Keep up the good work.
Havent been there in 30yrs but wat a Neat place to visit it has it all oldtime buildings houses u name it i recommend this place to every school board for school trips for kids its like a must for them will show them Americas History in one visit for sure!! This actually reminds me of my mom who passed away a few yrs ago because she's the one who went with me on that school trip so long ago great memories of both thanks ma:)
No, all of the arms and brackets screwed into the side wall and not specifically into a stud but the installation was solid and secure and has given us no problems at all
I just found your channel and I ❤️❤️ it, and I am so happy for you guys and I can’t wait until I can afford a class C. May God continue to Bless you both!!
I live an hour away from the falls and been there many times. After seeing the attractions that you did, I must go back and experience more. Great video as usual 🙂
How long did it take you to visit all of these lighthouses? What is the best city to fly into to see these lighthouses? If I’m only staying for a weekend what is the best lighthouses to visit?
We took about 10 days to visit the lighthouses and I’d fly into either Detroit or Grand Rapids (better). The lighthouses all have different operating days and hours and we maximized our schedule to be able to visit and actually climb as many lighthouses as possible. As far as lighthouses, I’d definitely try to see Holland, Big & Little Sable and Grand Haven.
Our hitch mounted bike rack is amazing, we’ve traveled several thousand miles now with our bikes mounted to the back with zero issues. Here’s our Amazon link to our hitch rack and other bike accessories Check out this page from wanderopenroads www.amazon.com/shop/wanderopenroads/curation/52f098d0-796c-495b-a2a9-e3b3ddf376d8?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsfcur_aipsfwanderopenroads_NRSV3REJRP0D53PBQSH6&language=en_US
WOW, this park has changed a LOT with the new additions up by the check-in. We just did a review of the park, they have 130 brand new spots. I am also happy to report the hot tub is still hot. I Love those shirts at the end of your video, cracked me up.
The only reason I haven't booked us on this ship is because it doesn't have the Dive in Theater, which is a family favorite. Everything else about her looks amazing.
When it is packed down how large is it? I would like to figure out where we would keep it. When not in use. We have a Winnebago Trend 23B which is 24 long and no slides. I crave for a little extra space.
The awning room basically fits into what we call a “body bag”. It’s about 6’ long, 2’ wide. We actually have it laying in the back seat of our small truck right now but we also carry it in the overhead bunk of the Class C
I was on the Elation back in January and will be back on there in October for my birthday. Elation is one of my favorite ships. 5-day cruises are more my jam. I love smaller ships, and 5 days on a ship is enough for me, usually, thought there are exceptions. Im going on an 8-day ABC (Southern Caribbean) cruise next May on the Magic. I'm a solo cruiser and enjoy cruising by myself. I always make friends on the ship, but i enjoy a private cabin as well. Cant wait to get back on the Elation in October!
Good review but I got as far as the "hitch tightener" and that is a deal breaker for me. I install and remove my current rack in seconds with no tools. It has a hitch tightener built in with a knob on the back that wedges the rack into the receiver so there is no wobble. Thanks.
This class even though it is older seems to be kept up nicely and is one of our favorite ships. The mega liners like Icon are just so so big and crowded and so expensive. My group spend the cruise on the Icon lost and waiting in lines, not a very fun getaway. Just 1 thing left to do, book a cruise on Elation.
Thanks for the great tour, my family has cruised on the sister ship, the Paradise, three times and after watching your video we decided to make the drive to Jacksonville to try the Elation. We just got off the Icon of the Seas and enjoyed the relaxing experience on these smaller Fantasy class ships more than the over crowded and super long lines on the Icon. Try getting a beach chair on the Icon, good luck.
Completely agree, my group of 5 needs a vacation after our vacation on Icon. We spent the entire time lost and waiting in so very long lines. Beautiful ship Icon but these smaller ships are more our speed. And the cost is so so much less, much better value on the Elation.
