I'm going on my first solo trip from Houston to Disney World in late Sept You have been my inspiration. Thanks!
That is awesome! I'm so happy to hear that. Have a wonderful time!!
What a wonderful video! It's been my dream to drive across the 10 freeway to Florida for years. Wishing you and your sister continued success!
Thank you so much, Michael! I hope you'll get to make the same journey sooner rather than later :) It's so much fun!
Happy Memorial Day!Enjoy your travel, guys!🐕🏜🚙🛸
Thank you! You too!
I also drove from Tampa, stayed at the same hotel in Waco with my Doodle and had my first
In-N-Out Burger in 2020. Next month August/22 my Dood and I are driving up into IN, Il, WI and then the UP of MI, MI and home to Tampa. Your video got me excited to head out and leave the heat behind for a bit! Cheers!
That's awesome! Haha, yeah the heat is always unbearable in the summer and yet I always stay here during that time. Go figure! Sounds like an amazing trip. Safe travels and have a great time!!
Yay!!!! I love watching your road trips! I just got back home after visiting family in New Orleans. I got to do carriage tour for the first time and loved it! Absolutely recommend.
Thank you so much!!😀💕 A carriage tour in New Orleans sounds amazing. I will definitely have to check that out next time!
Going to that that this summer with my dog.
Awesome!! Have a great time😊
Beautiful places ❤️💯
Great video! Saw it all the way through. Love your adventures 😍
Aw, thank you so much for watching my entire journey!
@@travelpockets 🫶🏻
I love watching your videos! One question though ... where did you leave Kuma when you had breakfast in Waco Texas?
Thank you so much! I left Kuma in the hotel room while I had breakfast :)
lovely video ... it makes me feel like travelling with you :)
Thank you so much! Happy to hear that you were able to experience the adventure with me😊
@@travelpockets my pleasure 😊
Cool dog 18:18 Bravo :)
Haha thank you! My brave little baby😊
Been watching the trips. Like how you keep self amused. When is road trip back to California again?
Haha thank you! Hopefully I'll get to go back end of this year :)
Hi there crystal.ride safe❤❤❤
Great video. I need to go on a road trip some day because I actually love driving. Also I have to ask, in n out or whataburger? Please say in n out 😂
Thank you! Yes, you need to go for sure :) I will forever be a Whataburger girl :) I love their chicken strips and gravy too much!
Great video. FYI there is a whataburger in Tallahassee now.
Thank you! Yeah, there's always been a Whataburger in Tallahassee, which is the closest to Tampa, but that's still 4 hours away😭
@@travelpockets I mostly mentioned it because I figured you could stop on one of your road trips.
@@davidwelty9763 Yup, that's one of the many Whataburgers I stop by on my road trip :) Thanks for letting me know!
I like your new logos! Cute design and colors ❤
Thank you so much!! We are loving it too :)
I like the animation map too! How did you create it?
@@mylifewhereilive Thank you! I created it in Adobe After Effects.
Thank you so much for replying! I am a beginner, it’s hard to do for me.😂
Great video! About to make the same trek from NorCal to Tampa in a out a week via I-10. Quick question - I am traveling with my Rotty and wondered if you pre-booked hotels or did you check in when you got to your stops? Trying to figure out whats best.. I am planning Sacramento to Phoenix to El Paso. Long trek to Houston then to Tallahassee then down to Tampa. May have to stop in NOLA and grab some beignets.
Thank you! Super excited for your trip too :) Yes, I pre-booked all the hotels before I hit the road. I only booked hotels that had a free cancellation policy (usually up to 1-2 days before). Have a safe trip!
I love you're cross country road trips been binge watching really interested in doing one myself if I can't find anyone to join me do you drive you're own vehicle or rent a car you have done several road trips?
That's so awesome that you're thinking of doing a solo road trip too! I drive my own car on all of the road trips. The main reason being that I have my dog with me and I know she'll get fur everywhere in the car because she sheds a lot😅 I also feel a lot more comfortable in my own car. I drive a 2018 Ford Escape and it's done a fantastic job on all of my road trips!
@@travelpockets thank you
Was the car comfortable to travel in? Highest gas price? Good video.
Yup, it's super comfortable! I love my Ford Escape. This is my second one. I believe the highest gas price at the time was around $3.70 per gallon.
Love your videos. Curious.. do you live bi-coastal? You are traveling back and forth so much.
Thank you, Shirley! I don't live bicoastal, but I go back and forth often because my sister, Candy, lives in California and I like to stay there during the holidays with my dog. My home is in Florida :)
@@travelpockets awesome! We are starting the bi-coastal life in NC and CA and we have to make the drive because of our two frenchies. You videos are helpful! 😊❤️
Just did it. Not as much fun as yours 😂
Aww really!? Maybe next time?😁
I am thinking of going cross country with my dog too, but everyone is scaring me about driving cross country by myself. Also, I worry changing lodging every night is too anxious for a dog? Any input you have would be great!
Driving cross-country solo really is not that bad. Once you get on the road, I think you will enjoy it. Make sure you get a full inspection on your car before you leave so that you know your car is in good shape for the road. Having AAA would be a good idea too for emergency situations. My dog loves to go from hotel to hotel because she's always excited to check out a new place. If your dog has not traveled much, try driving with him/her to different places locally first. I have some more tips in these posts too:

@@travelpockets Thank you so much for your reply. What about from a safety perspective? Have you ever felt in danger? Are there any cities I should avoid? I’m a minority so I am a little concerned about standing out in some places where there is no diversity.
@@Trulyblessed521 No, I never felt unsafe anywhere. All of my stops felt pretty safe.
Hi there - I was wondering seeing if that is a microphone on your seatbelt? 🤔
Hi! Yup, that is a wireless mic on my seatbelt😊
@@travelpockets that it very cool thanks so much for replying.
I
Love you so much better sweetheart
So sad you went to Cafe Du Monde.. Such a tourist trap and highly overrated. Much better places around the corner to get beignets.
