I love watching you and Sam’s adventures! Have a fun and safe trip.

Love the video can you please keep my aunt in your prayers she had back surgery

Oh my gosh, I live right there at the base of the mid-bay bridge…… whaaaaat you are at my house and I didn’t know it!

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your journey. This is fun!

When I originally saw your post about a road trip, was wondering if you were following the eclipse. My friend is doing it. Destin is beautiful. Can't wait to see the rest of the trip!

Miss this place!!!!! You should try Dewey destin! Its very good and the og location is the best one

How Amazing. Love the idea, always been on my bucket list. We are heading in our first cruise in 2 hours. Adventures for both of us! I forgot to housekeeping was most likely listening to the tv, lol

Your road trip vlogs are some of my favorites! Safe travels!

Oh I love a road trip. Wish I was in car with you. I will settle for watching your journey as you share..🌈🤗

can't wait to follow along with this series!

GREAT for You, Jackie & Sam!! This is something you will never forget as life moves on. I drove from FLA (born & raised) to CA in Jan 1980 for new job & living. Drove back to FLA from CA in Dec 2007 ! It was very exciting & enjoyable road trip. Currently 70yo & live in St. Augustine. I have never forgotten the road trip....... it's great memories!! I wish this for you Jackie & Sam!

Looking forward to following along!

This is Great! Looking forward to all your exciting travels!!!!!

Have fun guys can’t wait to see the vlogs

Can’t wait to see your adventures y’all have a wonderful time.

What a fantastic trip ---I will be watching!

You and sam are living the absolute dream what an epic trip !!!!

It’s called the Emerald Coast for a reason🏖️😎🐠🦐Look at the color of the water! Nothing compares to the sugar white beaches of the Gulf Coast❤The Back Porch is known for their blackened amberjack. 👍🏻

Enjoyed your first DESTINation! 🤪 Ready for tomorrow!

Sam being a typical Brit at the beach makes me so happy 😂

I love your travel vlogs one of my favorites you and Sam have a wonderful time safe travels

Buc-ee’s….. yes !!!! So excited for this series …. Thanks and be well😎

The 🏝️ view is awesome!!😍❤❤❤

Love it! I live in the destin area. Yes! that fine sand on a windy day can be brutal!!! 🌬️

I love road trips ✌️😎👍

I’m so excited to follow you and Sam on your trip across the country! Safe travels!

Cool!! I'll be virtually road tripping with y'all!!

We love The Back Porch!! Safe travels!!😊

Hate you had to see our beach when the waves were rolling. Normally it’s like the Caribbean water. Beautiful, clear and calm. Come back in the summer. :)

Can’t wait to travel with you guys! Exciting

Road trip YES love the road trips

Omg, first road trip video! 😍

Destin is great destination as part of a road trip....there is never a bad day at the beach...rain, shine, cold, hot whatever....never been to the Back Porch but busy ALL THE TIME...🙂

Yay, you’re going on a road trip!!!!

Great video! Looking forward to this adventure. ❤

Just was at Gainesville rest stop just outside the city. Honestly one of better rest stops in Florida. Try to see the remains of Six Flags New Orleans, hopefully it didn’t wash out to sea yet. It’s a remnant of hurricane Katrina that never got fixed or anything. It was completely abandoned for no good reason. It’s currently a decaying theme park near the ocean. Honestly you can even make out the dc comics area still and the roller coaster.

Day one down and so far its been great!!! so anticipating the videos.... loving this thanks for the ride along... just be safe guys ...

Looking forward to the whole road trip. I envy you! Have fun and drive safe.

Fun! Following along on your road trip! I collect a magnet from everywhere I visit 😊 We've done the cross country twice. Its a lot but its always an adventure! 🚙

Loved seeing this will tune in for more episodes in this journey xx

Wishing you safe travels! Can’t wait to follow along. 🤩

Love the Chris Rea 'On the Beach' vibe to your video Jackie. Look forward to the rest of your trip.

Sea oats is an awesome hidden gem on the gulf in destin. That's where we always stay when we go

Excited for this series, how fun! We were driving up I 75 yesterday heading home from Crystal River, FL for our spring break and it was SO windy trying to drive! Enjoy your trip! Can't wait to ride along with you guys!

Loved this vid and so excited to watch the rest of your cross country adventures. 👍🏻✌🏻😎

Spring time at a Florida beach😆 So much wind, so much sand! But Destin is absolutely gorgeous!😍 I have always wanted to go there💜

Safe travels❤

This is so awesome! I am so excited for you both! I live in New Mexico… think of me when you cross!

Destin is our favorite beach area!!

Be safe and have fun. looking forward to see the next one

HEY SUPERENTHUSED... DON'T FORGET TO TRY H.SALT FISH & CHIPS when you get to Southern California! HEY Sam, how long does it take to drive across England if you were to do a road trip? Just wondering. You both are what makes RU-vid a positive place to enjoy good, clean, fun vlogs. Thanks for keeping it awesome.

Great Vlog from Day 1 of your Cross-Country road trip Jackie and Sam

Fabulous beach x great vlog

The Pan Handle is a beautiful place. We have a condo in PCB and hopefully one day we can be there full time. You get used to the wind, it dies down as the Summer comes on. Nothing like it anywhere! Excited to travel with you!

I think that those beaches are among the best in the world.

I visited Florida many years ago and your videos bring back just how beautiful Florida is thank you for taking us with you

I love you two so much!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Looking forward watching your trip cross country. Enjoy yourself. Can’t wait to see the country thru your videos. You & Sam have a great time.

Happy & safe trails! 😇

Opps! I'm a day late (and probably a dollar short, as the old saying goes). Jackie, the bridge you crossed over was The Midbay Bridge. To the left of the marina at the end of the brige was a restaurant called Lou Lou's. She is Jimmy Buffett's sister. She has some more locations too. You and Sam have just experienced the Emerald Coast with the white sugary sand beaches. They are that way from Pensacola to just east of Panama City. Sorry it was so windy. Ya'll would have really enjoyed it a lot more without all that wind. Sometimes the wind does die down at night. Maybe ya'll can come back again. Give a heads up next time. I live about 40 miles NNW of Destin. You may possibly have came through my hometown of Crestview if you got on I10 westbound when you left Destin to head to your next destination. I would love to meet you guys. You picked a great restaurant. Thank you for sharing your trip with us. I'm so excited to hang with ya'll. Have fun and be safe. Love you guys. ❤ Now, on to the next destination on the itinerary.🤣

Yay I feel like I’m with you on your adventure

Yay! It’s Jackie and Sam! 👸🏼🤴🏻 Destin is on of my favorite towns in the Gulf! 🏖️ You can’t spell DESTINation without Destin! 😉😜 Save travels, guys!

So excited for this series! 🎉 Thanks for including the number of the day in your title. YT will start serving me every travel video anyone has ever made and it gets confusing. Drive carefully and have a wonderful time!

Love your road trip vlogs! ❤

So excited to see this road trip

Hi guys enjoyed this video looking forward to the next one be safe and have a great time 😊

First stop Destin my favorite beach so I know it’s gonna be a great trip 😊. Looking forward to following y’all’s adventures. Safe travels.

I love the road trip idea! I hope to do some of my own road trips one day!

Starting a road trip with a bang in Dustin.

Yesss! SO So cool you guys are doing this ! Stay safe out there ! I’m so excited for this series ! Can’t wait to see the next videos ! Praying and wishing you guys have the best time (weather, fun, safe travel,etc) 🫶🏼🚗💨

Looking forward to your travel vlogs. Safe travels Jackie and Sam

Amazing video the food looks so good and the beach views was so beautiful. You and Sam have a fun and safe trip.

Looking forward to new adventures, safe travels and enjoy

Watching from a wet Ireland, there is no end to the bad weather here, sooo jealous lol

I am so excited to follow along for this adventure! A cross country road trip is definitely on my bucket list, and im so glad y'all get to have this experience

Omg that sand was like hail! Glad y’all survived 😂 can’t wait to see the rest of this series!! 💚

Hey, You’re in my neck of the woods! Love Destin! My daughter & I also love driving 30A. Best when it’s off season though! The little beach towns, Seaside & Rosemary are just so quaint & beautiful. Safe travels!

Destin is always soo gorgeous! Absolutely loved your sandals, although I know it’s so hard walking in that sugar sand! Enjoy your trip 😎

Driving through Texas this weekend, I hope you stop to enjoy the eclipse. It’s a must see event.

Love all your videos!!, safe travels😊😊💜

Last summer we took a cross country trip from Indiana to Oregon. We had such a blast! Definitely need to plan way in advance, but like you said, keep it open to adventure!

Have so much fun. Can’t wait to see your adventures can’t wait to do this myself with my daughter. ❤

Oh sweet have fun

Omg❤😊 hi Jackie and Sam so excited to see the road trip vlogs. Hope you have a safe and fun trip 😊

Love this it's natural beautiful calming. Always have a plan but nothing set in stone. Emotions weather pop ups come into play. ❤❤❤❤

Yesssss the rental car was a great idea! Road trips are so much more fun when you don’t have to worry about racking the mileage up on the cars that you actually own. 😂 I don’t know if I knew that there were towns and locales in Florida that exist in the Central time zone! The beach looked beautiful, though I’m sorry about the sand in your eyes. Those beach breezes can be a gift and a curse lol but it did look pretty cool blowing ripples into the sand, though! Sam is also a much braver man than I, facing that water. There’s always bumps in the road when you’re traveling (see any given Griswold vacation as exhibit A), but I’m sure that whatever lies ahead of you will be amazing and we can’t wait to follow along! Movin’ right along daga-dun-daga-dun 🎶

Wonderful vlog. Have fun on your trip!

So psyched for this series 🎉❤

Nice! That windy beach experience reminds me of our beach here in Cambria…can get super windy like that. Enjoy your trip.

I love that you have done this kind of travel. I would love if we could do that with our dog sometime. At least some part of the travel. I must admit there is something exhilarating about taking a road trip.

That beach was beautiful

Have fun! ❤

Sounds like a fun trip! Looking forward to your videos. Would love to see you head up to the Pacific Northwest 🌲 😃

Another great video!

So excited for this vlog series, love a good road trip! Safe travels Jackie and Sam!!

Good morning and great 1st video road trip and you got Sam to sing that's great my friend stay safe out there you guys.
