In August 2021 we traveled to Churchill, Manitoba (Canada) in search of the Churchill Trifecta: Bears, Belugas, and (Aurora) Borealis. While peak polar bear season doesn't happen until October/November, summer is a less-busy travel season that is stunningly beautiful and less crowded, and is the only time of year when it's possible to see all 3 attractions. In addition to its natural wonders, C...

Did you go with the tour? If not with the tour, how do you book the guide?
Went there 30 years ago. A special place.
how much hours did your rent the boat for in Lake como? We want to be able to take it to Nesso as well.
We just did a 2 hour rental, but you can rent for any length of time. If you want to anchor at Nesso and swim for a while, and still see the other sights, you might want to consider a 3 hour rental.
Perfect mahalo.
Glad your video popped up in my feed we are about to leave for our honeymoon
Your voice is really cinematic 😂🤍🤍🤍
Great video!
It’s so amazing the way that you shared, I am Brazilian and is very nice to see how you enjoyed that experience. “Obrigado, caipirinha” all this words was very kindly way to pronounce it 😊
Thank you! 😃
I really enjoyed watching this, but it made me tired just watching! 😂
Ha ha, thanks - we certainly did pack a lot in!
Hi Carrie! My family I just stumbled upon your video. We're planning a 2 week Italy trip next summer. I just wanted to say that your video was one of the few I've seen that was extremely informative and well-put together. We have kids around your kids' ages so this was so helpful. I was just wondering...do you happen to have your specific itinerary somewhere with the tours/activities and hotels listed? Would you be willing to share it with me? We're in the beginning planning stages and would love all your recommendations. Thank you! 😊
We just found the itinerary you posted! Thanks!
Glad you found it - let me know if you need any additional details - I'm happy to send them along.
Thanks Carrie! One quick question...where did you stay in Sorrento? Or do you have any recommendations for a family of 4 (2 older teens).
@@TaniaOrchanian we stayed at Hotel Il Faro. They have really spacious rooms that sleep 4 - give them a try.
Thanks so much--we're going to check it out!
香水つけすぎで臭い人がいる。だから、そばにいきたくない。なんであんなに香水つけるんだよ。😡臭い。
@CarrieCook, I really enjoyed watching the video. We are planning on going there this December, but we're a bit stressed out about it. If you could please tell me how you found your tour guide, Mostafa and Abdul, or provide their contact info if you still have it. Also, did you booked the Nile cruise yourself or you guys hired a travel agency for your travel plans and accommodations. Thanks!
Hi there, we arranged our guides through Egypt Tours Plus. They arranged most of the trip for us - we let them know what we wanted to see and do, they suggested an itinerary, and we had a bit of back and forth before we landed on the final trip. They also booked the cruise for us. If I recall, the only parts they did not book is the hotel in Giza (as they don't deal with hotels in that area) and the one in Luxor at the end of the trip. I hope that helps!
Your comment near the end is so true - all the shops in the Amalfi area have the same stuff! If you've seen them once - you've seen them all!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so!
Can you please share the name of your hotel near the Sphinx?
Yes, we stayed at the Pyramids Valley Boutique Hotel, and would recommend a stay there. Be careful when you look it up as a lot of hotels in the area have similar names! pyramidsvalleyhotel.com/
なんか、泣けてくる…明日の仕事も、ガンバレル！ありがとうございます❤
Welcome to your second Home All love from Egypt ... my apology for the sales men attitude
I loved watching your videos and it gave me so many ideas for a future trip! I was wondering if you had any recommendations for planning a long trip like this. Maybe websites or apps you used to plan. Also, is planning Tokyo Disney similar to Florida? I noticed you had to get a pass for beauty and the beast? Any tips would be so helpful. Thank you again for sharing your experience for future travelers❤
Fantastic route..Thanks for sharing
very helpful video how do find a good tour guide?
We arranged our trip through Egypt Tours Plus, and they hired the guides for us. They were great and we would use them again.
Thanks for giving real feelings of giza tour, i am from India. If i will go there it will take lot of money. i am just sitting in my room and enjoying your video. Thanks
Most welcome 😊
25:32/The Family: you finally got a chance to see Mount Fuji 🗻!! Congratulations!!
Thank you! We were pretty excited.
What is the name of the hotel with that view of the pyramids on the terrace?
We stayed at the Pyramids Valley Boutique Hotel. Be careful if you look it up - there are a lot of properties with similar sounding names.
Japan is a fantastic travel destination, but no matter where you go, it's full of unruly tourists, which has become a social problem.
Thank you for coming to Japan! Did you enjoy your trip to Japan? Here are two questions for you! 1. What were some of the problems or troubles you had in Japan? 2. What kind of apps do you think would be useful during your trip to Japan? If you saw my comment, please reply!🙇
Very rare to see a leopard , lived there for 20 years and only saw 1 , once
I’m looking at going to Italy for two weeks in the fall. What a great video you put together. You gave me a lot of great ideas. Thanks a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Happy new year in a Muslim country --- hahahahahha - Do not be silly.
It would’ve been nice to share little bit more about the cost (like u did wfalafel) & names of the places you went into... like hotel, restaurant, Cruise ship, tour guides, driver, plane tickets etc...)
Noted!
紙のチケットが使えなくなることなんて、ほぼないよ！スマホと一緒にしたら磁気破損が起こるって知らないのかな？
Thankyou for your videos -my son is currently 14 - we have visited similar places and it is lovely to see your older kids travelling with you❤
They’re not too cool for us… yet. We’ll keep it up for as long as we can.
Born and raised in Mexico, but I've never been there! Thanks for another great video, Carrie :)
Thanks so much for continuing to watch!
Amazing video can't wait to watch more videos about japan 😊😊
Thanks! 😃
This video is super helpful! Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
You guys have done more sightseeing in Japan than I have as a Japanese.
We did try to fit a lot in. :)
Good to see teenagers accompanying parents... Are they twins?
They still tolerate us. And no, not twins - there are 2 years between them!
文句無しの神回でした😊ありがとうございました😊
日本には、まだまだ魅力的なところや美味しい食べ物があります。 特に、地方の田舎には。是非とも、訪れてＳＭＳで拡散して下さいね。
素晴らしい動画ですね 皆さん笑顔で素敵でした また日本に来て下さい😊
❤❤❤
That's a great video. I'm interested in what kind of places foreign tourists visit and what they find appealing about Japan. There were some places I didn't know about, even though I live in Japan. The spring cherry blossom and fall foliage seasons offer unique, genuinely beautiful experiences. Please come and experience these seasons in Japan again.
We would love to!

I'm glad that you enjoyed! You should try hot spring in Gunma next time! Hokkaido may be better to visit in Summer since its way cooler! They also have delicious seafoods!
Thanks for the tips!
Oh my gosh I know where that 7/11 is located (31:01). It's the one in front of Yuen Shinjuku. Anyway, you are a natural story teller and this is a great video. Keep it up! I
Thank you so much, and you nailed it - that is indeed the 7/11 location!

Me and my friend are going to japan this august too! We heard lots of negative Videos on how avoiding the summer months would be better for a japan trip. But your video just cheered me and my friend up and made us all excited again for the trip! Thank you and great video!
Be prepared for it to be hot - but there's no reason not to enjoy your trip. Have fun!
