I bought my suitcase over 10 years ago. It was definitely an investment at the time but it is still going strong and has many years left in it hopefully. With suitcases, you buy cheap, you buy ten times!
Rewatching cause I love your travel vlogs and last trip i did was solo and security was a breeze because I didnt have to worry about anyone elses bags and what was in them
Another great vlog, I’m really enjoying watching you guys. My partner and I now sit and watch the new ones together then watch your old ones. You guys have been therapy for me at the moment as I’m going through treatment for a kidney condition. Thank you for cheering me up. Keep up the great work and we can’t wait to see the next ones. From Allan in Warrington. XxX
@@TheLodgeGuys I love all things USA (except politics), and I love the vanlife culture that’s happening. Although I can’t travel at the moment I love watching what you all ( Mr & Mrs Bazza etc) are getting up to. Hope you’re having the best time and thanks again. XxX
When we went last year we booked the lounge and we did end up having two breakfasts. The hotel upgraded us to the executive lounge with free breakfast as we were getting married in Florida. Thankyou for another great vlog ps loving the van build
We have the same hand luggage as Leigh, the front compartment for electricals is such a game changer for grabbing your items in security, plus such a dream to push!!
Exciting times, just book again for next September ! So I love watching your Florida vlogs. Always get some new ideas and places to try. Hope your having the best time x
I like your vans white backsplash, the pattern looks great and does not say to me, bath room. Keep it for now, it can be changed when you get tired of it in a year or two.
i've been looking at doing the same trip but i thought it would be better to go out in premium and come back in upperclass to make better use of the luggage allowance bringing extra stuff home
Another trip to Florida, we are very jealous!, nice cases and we, like someone commented below recommend packing cubes they are really useful when packing and unpacking etc.. Were you aware that i understand Virgin and BA do not allow some trackers in the hold luggage as they contain active lithium ion batteries so the Samsung, Apple trackers etc.. should not be in the suitcase. The FAA in the USA do allow them if they meet certain criteria but individual alrlines may not. Things may have changed but worth checking out!
Love the vlog even though I'm so jealous. The luggage looks fantastic. If you got room in your case Leigh I could squeeze in 😂.Enjoy the holiday you have both worked so hard on the van. Can't wait for the travel day and when you stay with the Bazzas. Love those two as well.❤
The new Holiday Inn is fabulous, the Turkish restaurant is absolutely delicious 🤤 my hubby travels a lot & stays in IHG hotels, so with his points we got our nights stay free!! And a free drink each 😜
When I went to Orlando in July I flew to London from Edinburgh and it cost me £250 for the night at Hampton by Hilton, the Doubletree Hilton where I would normally stay wanted £350
Hi guys we are flying to Lax on virgin but used points and paid the tax to go upper how does companion voucher work ? I’m thinking maybe it would have been better for us to do it that way x
@TheLodgeGuys hoping you might be able to give me some advice. My husband and I are travelling to Europe from Australia for the first time next June and we are scheduled to fly out of Manchester to Amsterdam on KLM at 9am. We are currently booked to stay in Liverpool for the 2 nights prior to spend time with family but now wondering if we should spend the night before at an airport hotel in Manchester so we don’t have to be up so early. What would you suggest?
With an early flight time like that we would always spend the night near the airport. It just takes the hassle out of travel day and less rushing and of course less risk of being stuck in any traffic and missing your flight. It happened to us one year. Nick forgot his wallet and we had to drive back to the house and almost missed a flight
Hi guys loving the vlogs but looking for a little help. What phone number do you use for Virgin to sort out upgrades and point etc. I have 400k points and 2 companion seats to use and want to speak to someone at Virgin about it. Thanks
Me and the wife just came back from Florida on Tuesday which was for our honeymoon and we loved every minute of it. We are looking at booking again for 2025 unless we win the lottery. We used Virgin Twilight check in and it was so much easier the next day not having the push 4 cases around with us so we will be doing that again. One thing I did notice in Florida the day we were flying we went to Disneys Springs shopping and thought we'd see about checking the bags in but unfortunately the service wasn't available don't know if this is only available on certain days.
Great pre travel day vlog guys, We’re so jealous that you guys get to go to Florida most years. We’ve still not been yet! It’s a lifetime dream & fingers crossed we’re planning to go in Jan 25. But it’s all subject to our youngest sons health. As he has a Mast Cell Activation Disorder, which is basically a hyper active immune system & causes him to go into spontaneous anaphylaxis & one of his triggers is heat & being too hot!🙈So fingers crossed we will be able to make it out there in January when it’s a lot cooler. 🤞🤞
Can't wait for the Florida videos. The only pre-travel things for me is to pack my suitcase, pick up the rental car, and then load it up with the luggage. Our travel day is an 8 hour drive from Mississippi to Disney
@@TheLodgeGuys I'd love to go 4 weeks a year... maybe some day! We do spend a lot on meals out though, I'm sure we could cut our spending pretty dramatically!
It’s so unusual for the two of you not to be obsessing over having too much weight in your suitcases. I’m sure it’s nice to have extra space in there in case you do decide to bring some stuff back with you.
Omg. I go away on a cruise for 11 days and come back and you've gone to florida.... blimin amazing. Love watching you guys And a good time to go now, was the van getting to you ? Which btw is amazing as well. Well as van lide on hold beaming to watch florida vlogs, gutted you will see moana before me.. im going in mid march next year Take care Therese w xx
Love the suitcases , look very posh and expensive looking , I know you have the tags but do you never mix and match your suitcases with some of both your stuff just in case they do go missing and don’t get back to you for a few days ❤😊
Hi, I love your blogs. Could you tell me what a companion seat is please. I have used points and money for my trip next May but have never heard of companion seats.
Hi could I ask about car hire I hear people talk about andy car hire could I ask how much you pay as prices are coming in over 1000 + for just over 2 weeks Are the prices better closer to date going than in advance
We book as far out as possible (you don't have to pay) we then check prices weekly if they change we get it adjusted by Andy) we only pay when it's due
Where is Andy car hire outside the airport are the prices reasonable thinking about Booking for florida on virgin Atlantic next year not been as just wiped out my mortgage and paid my mortgage off so many holidays to the USA from late 24 onwards
Hiya guys,lovin the new luggage 🧳 which looks like you have plenty of room for Disney merchandise and candles, don't forget bath and body works I love that shop, glad we got one in Trafford centre, we hoping to go to Florida in 2years we waiting for the new universal park to open. Have fun guys ❤
PLEASE! Whenever you’re staying there, go to the Romper pub round the corner, Proper pub food at decent prices! The best option over there hotel restaurants!!
I just got back from another 14 night stay @ the Tree House Villas and the Polynesian last week. Our trips didn’t line up this time. So excited for these vlogs. 🥰😎
Liking Leigh’s luggage looks very smart! Not sure about the square yellow ones , however you’ll spot them straight away lol ! My favourite sort of vlogs on the way yeah! It must have killed leigh not to pack weeks in advance lol x
