Hey there! Yes, it was so beautiful. It was our first time. Been so many places but sometimes forget about what’s in our own backyard. -Sara

I agree

No 5% grades on I-75. It’s a pretty flat route that’s why we like going that way.

When we went in December, we were not required to provide proof of vaccination or negative COVID test at any point (not to get onto the ship and not at any ports)

Yes it would but we don’t turn it on.

Yes it would but we don’t turn it on.

We tried to do as much as we could so there isn’t much we didn’t do but if we cruise Mardi Gras again we would eat at the specialty restaurants more than we did.

@@tomsarastravels9150 awesome I body build and tbh looking forward to just mowing down guys burgers ahah , Las time i went on carnival I found the food to be blah ,nothing better than a North end pizza in Boston! But awesome can't believe it's almost time ..what was favorite place to hang or be

@@b4e279 Our favorite spot in the evening was the Fortune Teller Bar (great drinks and music) and on sea days, we spent most of our time sitting at a table at Red Frog Pub overlooking the pool area. All of the best shows (if you are into those) are on the lobby/atrium stage (get there very early) The serenity area was very nice but we didn’t sit there much.

@@tomsarastravels9150 awesome thanks yea il Def check out the shows I'm 30 and with My 25 yr old cousin so we will see I'm hoping to end up at the piano bar , when I was 21 I only sat one night there and have regret it for 9 years ahaha

We would go on Magic again for sure just not a short cruise out of New York.

@@tomsarastravels9150 I just went on an 8 day out of Port Canaveral and now I don't want really want to do anything less then 7 or 8.... LOL. 5 days just don't seem like enough now 😂

@@teedub68 We totally agree! The only two times we have ever done less than 7 days were our two cruises to Bermuda which are shorter otherwise it has always been 7 days or longer.

@@tomsarastravels9150 I would really like to learn all your little cruise hacks and tips on cruising. I bet y'all have picked up so many tips and tricks to making cruising easier and more enjoyable through the years.

Yeah…we agree it was pretty expensive for what the sites were. We probably won’t go back.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yes we are!

@@tomsarastravels9150 awesome! Same here! We just subscribed to follow along! Hopefully we can run into you all at the campgrounds

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether Hopefully. We have been trying to meet other Ohio campers. We work full time so we take a few long trips a year and then long camping weekends.

@@tomsarastravels9150 same here! We both work so it’s a lot of weekend trips. This year is staying in Ohio a little more. Doing state parks. Mohican Wilderness does a meetup and that is a great place to meet other likeminded people. We will be going. If correct it’s June 9-12th

@@ThoseWhoGlampTogether We stayed in Ohio more last year. We are heading out west again this year.

You can camp in a tent for sure. Not sure about just staying in a car. They also have cabins you can rent.

It only made that sound for us one time and hasn’t made it again.

Yes because it's setting the parking pawl in place! I don't like the owners manual how it says to put it in park after testing to see if transfer case is in neutral by placing it in reverse. I test the reverse procedure to insure the transfer case is in neutral then place transmission to neutral then I shut the engine off then to park!

So do you just not do the test with engine running? Mine makes the grinding noise every time (.or all times I’ve tried it)!

@@hifax1428 We get that grinding noise also. I can't wait to try your method; I do not want the PTU to go out.

Ok just to clarify how I do the neutral test for flat towing! I use the owners manual procedure to place the transfer case in neutral. Then I test it with the engine running by placing it in reverse for the 5 seconds then to neutral then I place it in drive to make sure the transfer case is in neutral then back to neutral then to reverse for the 5 seconds then back to neutral once in neutral I shut the engine off then to park so I don't get the parking pawl grinding. I've done it both ways by the manual and my way sometimes it grinds by using the manual procedure and sometimes not so I prefer to use my way and I've had no problem. I know this seems like over kill but I want to make sure that the transfer case is in neutral and that grinding when putting it in park is putting metal shaving in your transmission. Not good!

Sandusky, Ohio

I’m making the drive from Traverse City, MI to Haines City, Florida on the 23rd of this month

We have unfortunately never been on Flying Turns

The Jeep steering wheel doesn’t lock so you don’t have to leave the ignition “on”. We have not experienced any wobble. I think Jeep fixed this issue on newer models.

@@tomsarastravels9150 That's all very good to hear. Thanks for the feedback!

We are towing a 2019 Cherokee and love it. They have cured the death wobble issue. Printed a cheat sheet for my wife to follow during hook/ unhook. Using a Roadmaster base and tow bar and braking system. Lights and TPMS too. Keep on traveling.

Yes. It cost $150 round trip.

The campground actually had more people than it looked like but more arrived the day after Christmas after the snow.

How'd your move go? I bet you're enjoying Florida
