You deserve every bit of all these amazing blessings being showered on you!! Cant wait for you to be with your precious Mom I know shes bursting with pride and joy for you! Not just for your incredible success but because your YOU!!
I hope they fix South of the Border up. This was my Grandma's favorite place to visit when she went home to visit. I miss her so much. Thanks for being so positive about this place!!! I hope I get to visit one day.
Nate, I always love how optimistic you are about anything in life. Your joy and excitement just makes me beyond happy and gives me such a big smile on my face. It truly is infective
This might be one of my favorite vlogs you’ve ever done. You had me smiling the whole time! My family stayed at SOB once when I was an older teenager (so maybe almost 20 years ago) and I still remember the experience! Stale donuts in the check in space; remote control bolted to the nightstand. I just loved this. Thanks Nate!
Omgosh! The hidden amenities!! LoL. That had me really laughing. I loved the "artwork on the walls" too. :-D. You're so funny. Back in the 1950s, those motels were everywhere. They bring back nice memories for me, too. Thanks for this fun tour. Oh, I also loved the cats trying to get in.
Oh fun! A road trip! Love the relationship you have with with Gracie. She's very smart, and I can tell she understands a lot of what you say. Looking forward to seeing your mom and Bon-Bon again and enjoying your time with family.
Nate!!!! This was one of my most favorite vlogs you have ever done! I loved the humor and the honesty and your positive spirit. It s so fun to see how you react to less than favorable situations with truth and a light heart. Thank you for sharing this experience that many others would not.
Gracie has to be the best dog you could ask for. My two dogs would be spastic the whole time! Have a wonderful time with your family and Merry Christmas!🎄
Nate. Great video. I travel your route to my home in PA as well. I’m coming from Savannah GA. Depending on where in PA you are going, I take I 64 west in Richmond to I 81 and take I81 north all the way up to the Pine Grove exit. Way better, relaxing ride rather than going through DC metro area. Safe travels.
Watching all your videos I'm always amazed at how chill Gracie is. The fact you can have her outside off the leash and have your room door hanging wide open and she just hangs out. My dogs try to bolt out the door and take off running like we are holding them prisoner against their will! I could never let them outside without a leash.. lol
I'm laughing my back side off but at the same time, I'm pretty impressed because I had no clue that you could sing and I never could imagine you liked country music or even Backcountry music. I needed that smile...... thanks buddy
Man, having just moved to Orlando from Syracuse at the end of 2022, I can appreciate this road trip. I also have to echo your love for South of the Border. It may be a cheap and dilapidated tourist trap, but damn it, it's my cheap and dilapidated tourist trap.
Nate - I give you credit man! I couldn’t do it. I still have a bit of PTSD when stopping there as a teenager with my family in the early 90s. Enjoy the time with family and Merry Christmas!! 🎄
Happy Holidays Everyone! Hi Nate! Back in '79 on my way to Disney from my home in DC, I stayed at that motel. It was fantastic! My best memory is the lighted pool at night with my friends. I love how you are at home in the 5 star places to half star places. 👍🫠 Anyhoos, y'all be safe & sound. Hug Miss Gracie for us. Toodles! 🎄☃️
We’ve always had cats, but gotta say dogs are amazing. Was in a lovely shop today, a cute dog came in with her people, and she was freaking out, no one knew why. Until it turned out there was a dog treat drawer behind the counter. Turns out she’d been there once before, a long time ago. Cute, and very smart.
Stopping is a great idea. When driving cross country take your time, have fun. No sense in trying to break any speed and time records. Love Gracie! What a great traveling companion. I am digging this kind of everyday life video Nate! Merry Christmas!
Nate...just wanted to say thank you for this video. My family just lost our family Golden Retriever Chief yesterday suddenly and I think we are all still in shock. I appreciate the time you are spending with Gracie, your relationship reminds me of what ours was with Chief and this video just helped me feel some form of comfort for a few minutes. This goes without saying but continue to enjoy every minute you get together, and keep being you my friend. Have a great trip with your family and Happy Holidays!
Been to South of the Boarder many times. Welcome home. It's been a little chilly, but supposed to be warmer, in the 50's for Christmas. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the video. I loved the info about South of the Border. Gracie looks like she is very happy! I’m glad she is happy and having a great trip. Be very careful the roads. Are very crowded. Not everyone believes in driving safely. I can’t wait to see your beautiful family. You are most blessed person I know. Meow meow ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Have an amazing time seeing your family! Sending so many blessing for your family! You’re a sweetheart and so are they. Much love and happy happy holidays!
These are my fav videos you make. Love when you are in PA seeing family. Great job with the time lapse too!! Have a very Merry Christmas with the family! 🎄
My family and I make the trip down I95 from NY to Disney every summer. We have come to love it. I love watching you make these road trips Nate! It's as much of our Disney trips as the parks themselves. Thanks for the good feels!
I love watching your adventures with Gracie and how sweet she is. Can’t wait to see your mom and sister next! Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄
Love your videos Nate! You and Gracie are so cute together! Now please watch the bed bugs going to Mums house! 😂 We adore you for being so genuine . Merry Christmas! ❤️
Nate you are the BEST! You are one of the most genuine people on the planet and deserve all of the good things that come your way! I love watching your videos! ❤ I hope to meet you one day!
I love your video! I love the time lapse and I really love the music you added! I love seeing Gracie! I have to say I was cringing over seeing you both staying in the first room. 😬 The room in PA certainly looks cleaner and a better fit for you two. All the best to you as you continue your trip.
We just love this vlog! It’s a lot of fun and making us want to take a road trip down to South of the Boarder! Definitely an iconic spot and everyone should try to visit it at least once in their lifetime!
You definitely need some rest. Enjoy your mom and sister and have a Merry Christmas 🎄. You are such a special person to watch because of your happy personality! Thank you Nate❤
This place looks like they are trying to fix it up. Still a work in progress. The Lobby looks very nice. Thank You Nate Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Health and Happiness to ALL now in 2023 and in 2024.
South of the Border is definitely a staple if you’re driving down the coast. That’s our landmark when traveling to FL. It’s cool to see what it actually looks like to stay there.
I LOOOOVE your travel vlogs to such! And like day-to-day Publix shopping vids, just normal stuff too :) keep up the great work & thanks for taking us along for the ride 🎉 happy holidays!
Used to do this similar toad trip with my pup from South Florida to Brooklyn NY. Brought back lots if great memories for me. Thanks, Nate! Hope you guys enjoyed the holidays together. Safe and wondrous travels always to you and Gracie.
Nate, this video is absolutely amazing and put a smile on my entire families face merry Christmas to you and your mom and sister and niece you deserve everything great in life!
Lol Nate I'm 38 years old, moved to Florida at 16 from NJ. We would always stop at SOTB every summer for 8 years before my family moved here. 😂 so wholesome content
Nate, you are a brave soul staying at South of the Border! Back in the late 90’s my now late husband and I ended up staying there because he didn’t book a hotel room as he promised. With exhaustion setting in, we stopped. I was not pleased then. The room we had was in a late 50’s early 60’s A-frame style. As a joke he got a “honeymoon room “🤦🏼♀️. It had a king bed with what looked liked a big carpeted packman over the bed. There was a TV and mirrors in that “thing”. I slept, clothes on, with my head at the foot of the bed as the carpeted thing was creepy and gross. Sigh. We have enjoyed your 12 Days till Christmas Vlogs! Such fun getting to know you even more. Happy Birthday! 🎉 You deserve all the blessings coming your way, from the RU-vid channel to RSVLTS and more. Hugs to your Mom, Bonnie and Ariel along with Gracie of course. Gracie is the best! We love the little peaks of Gracie at the ends of your Vlogs. So glad you brought her to PA! Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 ❤
This is the most fantastically unhinged video yet! I’m lmao and smiling watching all the adventures on this road trip. This is the Christmas gift we didn’t know we needed. Merry Christmas Nate and Gracie!
Well, that motel looks terrifying 😂 I have never gotten to stop at South of the Border, just drove by it a bunch of times. I would definitely like to wander around there one day, but I think I’m going to pass on the overnight stay!! Gracie was being the bestest girl keeping watch from those cats❤
Awwww I loved this video!!!!! The time lapse were so cool! You're so creative and have great editing skills! 🔥🔥🔥 loving this 12 days till Christmas 😍 I can't wait for tomorrow!
This is your best video yet. I honestly couldn’t tell if you were full optimism or sarcastic about all the compliments , but it was a gem. Do more of this. Home run ! The bar of soap with the ants with disgusting, hilarious, and awesome !
i love this laid-back, off-the-cuff Nate we're getting lately! So fun! That motel, though 🤐 Didn't you meet the guys from Breaking Bad?? I think you needed to call them in for this one! LOL Hope you're in PA safely and have a great holiday!!
I love your travel videos! Funny story I was wearing my South of the Border sweatshirt just today ... a lady asked me if it was still there...why yes ma'am it is! Lol That hotel was not bad for that price! Sending extra love and appreciation for your humanitarian concerns about the kitties! Merry Christmas 🎄
Nate, please make sure you check everything for bed bugs! That hotel looks like it could have them. Even the best hotels can get them but I would hate to see you bring them to your mom’s house. Have the kind of fun you always do and I am glad you can find something good in even the less than desirable situations. Merry Christmas and Happy New Tear to you and yours!!!
Nate you were bravin it with that Motel!! The food was good we stop there all the time on our drive to Orlando! Hope you’re home and enjoying relaxing. Cheers 🍻 to the Holidays!!
Hi Nate loved the video such a long drive thought the cats were going to rush in Gracie so relaxed looking forward to seeing your mum and sister we had a Dalmatian white hairs every where🐕🚗
