[carolwoodward]

I appreciated how you demonstrated that even with physical challenges, a person can enjoy travels, if targeted accommodation has been engineered. Hats off to both of you!

[trudydiane]

I just adore you both. If I'm a little sad I pull up a video with you guys and can't help smiling!

Family and friends are treasures to be cherished! Time with them is invaluable!

God bless & keep you, Bill & Elizabeth. You are such a blessing to everyone! 💖

What a great video, thank you so much for taking the time and answering all these questions. God bless you both.

You are so blessed to have the same interests and act on it. Such a huge blessing.

You are both great storytellers, so while watching this 1 hour video, the time just flew by! Great advice, also. Thank you.

I live in Northern Wisconsin. We often go to the Wisconsin-Minnesota side of Lake Superior (think Duluth area). Our favorite place to be! It’s about 2 hours from home. Everyone loves “the North Shore”. Close to Grand Marais by the Canadian border. You are blessed to have each other. I became a widow at 60, and I miss the adventures with my husband. Everyone out there, treasure your partners!

When my husband was alive we did a backpacking trip to the UP. We hiked 4 miles to a cabin we stayed in the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. We went in September and it was beautiful. The colors were magnificent.

I don’t think this trip would have been as successful as it was because of how well you two get along. You both did the planning, separate planning. The result was 6 weeks of can I say bliss? Your smiles say it all how much you enjoyed it all! Some couples cannot get along a weekend camping or a week. It’s a testament how well you get along ❤

Your RV is beautiful! Perfectly designed. Glad you are enjoying it.

I loved every BIT of your "wanderings and reflections"!🧡🧡🧡

[cindyl]

You’ve been talking about going on a RV trip out West for a long time. It was an amazing adventure in a box! I’m glad you got to fulfill your dreams! Thanks for taking us along. ❤

Bill and Elizabeth, I enjoy your videos sooo much. I have been watching your videos for several years. You are both so kind and relatable.

[victoriaboerschinger]

Thank you for the wonderful trip review and answering all the many questions. My husband and I have recently done a fair amount of traveling and each time we do the true highlight of our trip is always going to the local Kingdom Hall to meet our dear brothers and sisters in the faith. They are wonderful and we now have family all over the world. We enjoy the beautiful places we have seen but the beautiful brotherhood we enjoy can never be matched.

[karenreed]

Thank you. This was such an interesting video! And, Elizabeth, I think you look so pretty with your short haircut. 🌻

[spoly]

I'm so impressed how you saved up, planned everything so carefully and were able to follow through with your dream. Some people give up and are fearful of taking on such a huge project but the both of you are very adventurous and just live your dream. I'm happy everything worked out and you had such a fabulous time. You both look happy and well ❤.

[CVenza]

Glad to hear your both doing very good. 🕊
