Really cleverly made video! You're informative and charismatic as usual, and your kids are adorable! Thanks for the fantastic content!

One thing I love about road trips is watching the scenery change before your eyes. We live in a beautiful country with such diverse landscape. Flying can't do it justice.

I only have one question about this video.






Are we there yet?
:)

John Stone, the way I handle problems with others is I don't take them along. I always go alone, then share it all when I return home. I even did that back in '84 when I drove solo to Alaska from northern Illinois, returning through Jasper, Banff and Glacier--9244 miles in 31 days. What a wonderful month!!!

Suggestion.... Did a road trip with 2 adults and 4 teenagers from Montreal, Qc to Cocoa Beach, Fl! It was fantastic!! Ok so we did have a big, tricked out Econoline with integrated dvd player, etc. But the only rule i had was everytime we stop we take out anything we need to throw out. This way the truck stayed clean the whole way! My favorite way to travel is a road trip!

Love watching your videos.Thanks for sharing, One thing I love the most is I feel like I also travel with your family because I could see all those places and gives me ideas on how to explore .Your kids are so adorable.Take care, God bless your family.😊

Loves Travel Plaza's are the key. Nice bathrooms with toilet closets not stalls.

[blindpanthervlogs]

Another cool thing about any road trip is that you get to see so many different places, but in a relatively short amount of time.

Great video Mark! I love your videos and you inspired me to travel abroad. I have been to London and Paris last year. I went to Amsterdam just last month and of course I saw you 5 things to love and hate about Amsterdam before going. A road trip definitely looks like something I need to put on my bucket list. Thanks for your hard work! Happy 4th of July to you and yours.  :)

Wow I can tell a lot of effort went into this video!

You brought back some memories about road trips from when I was younger. We made the trip to my grandparents/aunts place 1400 miles away from where we lived. Back then (1970s) we did not have any of the things you suggest to bring for kids like tablets and mini-game consoles. We had a backseat full of books, crayons, colorbooks, small toys and other things. We did not have to use a seatbelt like they have to now and the seat laid down so me and my sis had some room to stretch out in. We did though, look out the windows all the time with the ever changing scenes around us. Mom packed us food to eat on the road for the first day. I can remeber eating egg salad sandwiches for breakfast!!! We did not have the money for fast food and the only messes in the car were from our toys and melted crayons.

So when it was my turn to do road trips with my kids, we still did not have the electronics but we did have a CD player so I brought our favorite music and also books on CD to listen to. I did not have a DVD player because they were expensive and (my kids took a road trip or two with their dad and step family members and they had the DVD player because the step siblings could not stand to be in the car long) so the kids would look out the window for hours. As for "are we there yet?" I quickly nipped that in the bud so to speak when I told them to do that with their dad. So they would ask me where we were instead. I would stop at grocery stores and get things there vs fast food.

Yay!!! I've been waiting for this video after seeing the preview. We just rode tripped from Central PA to Toronto, Niagara. Going north through central PA & NY made our road trip easy breezy. Best road trip every

[JRD-ufns]

Im from boston, i sometimes drive up to montreal. TIM HORTONS IS AMAZING (not as great as dunkin donuts of course)

[jimgreen]

I remember playing the license plate game as a kid, as well as my younger brother always being asleep, and me looking out the window all the time. I was totally fascinated by the passing scenery. I know--weird kid! I was a kid before Ronald McDonald was born, so we, honestly, never ate junk food on trips, and I don't eat it watching TV or at movies today. All you need to experience this is to be old like me. Totally agree with Love #2. If you return to eastern Canada, try driving around the Gaspe Peninsula of Quebec, plus Nova Scotia. Beautiful!

This was a fun one to watch for sure. I'm getting ready to go from PA>>Maine (Booth Bay, Bar Harbor, Lubec) Then to Saint John NB - to see the reversing falls, PEI, and Halifax NS. Then Quebec City, Montreal PQ;  then Burlington, Vt; Lake Placid- Olympic village in NY.

I-95 is the route when our family when we went to Maine and this was is in MA and it so long

[edogg_s]

I can vividly remember 6 years ago as a 6th grader nearly having our backs against the wall going from the White Mtns in AZ taking a backway in NM back home to Tucson. First, we were having engine knocking issues in our '93 Sub, then a cop was hunting us down for speeding but thankfully he pulled back to the shoulder and we were never stopped, then on top of the that the fuel gauge was pegged at the E and I could only imagine what running dry in the middle of the desert in JUNE would be like. 😨 We made it just fine thank goodness, but overall fantastic video woltersworld !

Your babies are the cutest much love !

i've done I-95 from Miami to NYC, still have bizarre nightmares of Pedro's South of the Border...
