Only someone as sweet as Nate can put a good spin on a cat infested flea bag motel!!😹😹
yes!!!
indeed
No mice though. Room hasn't changed much although it doesn't have the wood paneling anymore.
You deserve every bit of all these amazing blessings being showered on you!! Cant wait for you to be with your precious Mom I know shes bursting with pride and joy for you! Not just for your incredible success but because your YOU!!
We stop almost every trip and always wonder what it would be like to stay. 😂 Thank you for taking one for the team, you’re a legend sir! 👏🏻
Nate, I love your positive outlook. You make even the unfun experiences fun!!!
Nate, I always love how optimistic you are about anything in life. Your joy and excitement just makes me beyond happy and gives me such a big smile on my face. It truly is infective
I agree!!
This might be one of my favorite vlogs you’ve ever done. You had me smiling the whole time! My family stayed at SOB once when I was an older teenager (so maybe almost 20 years ago) and I still remember the experience! Stale donuts in the check in space; remote control bolted to the nightstand. I just loved this. Thanks Nate!
Oh fun! A road trip! Love the relationship you have with with Gracie. She's very smart, and I can tell she understands a lot of what you say. Looking forward to seeing your mom and Bon-Bon again and enjoying your time with family.
Nate!!!! This was one of my most favorite vlogs you have ever done! I loved the humor and the honesty and your positive spirit. It s so fun to see how you react to less than favorable situations with truth and a light heart. Thank you for sharing this experience that many others would not.
Gracie has to be the best dog you could ask for. My two dogs would be spastic the whole time! Have a wonderful time with your family and Merry Christmas!🎄
My 2 small dogs love traveling, they lay down in the back seats in their beds. They just love to be a part of my life. Happy New Year.
We passed South of the border many times but never stopped. Always wondered about it., we all love to watch Gracy!
Watching all your videos I'm always amazed at how chill Gracie is. The fact you can have her outside off the leash and have your room door hanging wide open and she just hangs out. My dogs try to bolt out the door and take off running like we are holding them prisoner against their will! I could never let them outside without a leash.. lol
I know what you mean. My little 10 lb. Maltese, Abigail. would always try yo run if I didn't have her securely in the bathroom or in a bedroom.
This was so wholesome and hilarious all at the same time- everything I love about a PMM vlog!! Thanks Nate & Gracie for always making me smile 😊
I hope they fix South of the Border up. This was my Grandma's favorite place to visit when she went home to visit. I miss her so much. Thanks for being so positive about this place!!! I hope I get to visit one day.
Gracie looks thrilled especially at South of The Border I do appreciate your enthusiasm Nate
I'm laughing my back side off but at the same time, I'm pretty impressed because I had no clue that you could sing and I never could imagine you liked country music or even Backcountry music. I needed that smile...... thanks buddy
Nate - I give you credit man! I couldn’t do it. I still have a bit of PTSD when stopping there as a teenager with my family in the early 90s. Enjoy the time with family and Merry Christmas!! 🎄
Stop making light of ptsd. You’re a horrible person
Omgosh! The hidden amenities!! LoL. That had me really laughing. I loved the "artwork on the walls" too. :-D. You're so funny. Back in the 1950s, those motels were everywhere. They bring back nice memories for me, too. Thanks for this fun tour. Oh, I also loved the cats trying to get in.
Driving from New York to Jacksonville in 1967, checked into South of the Border at 2AM and it was a pleasure ro get a good sleep.
Man, having just moved to Orlando from Syracuse at the end of 2022, I can appreciate this road trip. I also have to echo your love for South of the Border. It may be a cheap and dilapidated tourist trap, but damn it, it's my cheap and dilapidated tourist trap.
That Virginia photo op is just perfect for Gracie and her water bowl! 😊
Your time lapses turned out great! I think you should do more travel videos. This one was so fun to watch! I hope your holiday is amazing! 💖
We’ve always had cats, but gotta say dogs are amazing. Was in a lovely shop today, a cute dog came in with her people, and she was freaking out, no one knew why. Until it turned out there was a dog treat drawer behind the counter. Turns out she’d been there once before, a long time ago. Cute, and very smart.
Gracie is enjoying her road trip! And she's relaxing !
Nate...just wanted to say thank you for this video. My family just lost our family Golden Retriever Chief yesterday suddenly and I think we are all still in shock. I appreciate the time you are spending with Gracie, your relationship reminds me of what ours was with Chief and this video just helped me feel some form of comfort for a few minutes. This goes without saying but continue to enjoy every minute you get together, and keep being you my friend. Have a great trip with your family and Happy Holidays!
Sorry for you're loss. I always have to get another dog that helps me cope.
That South of the Border motel was too funny! I think the Bates Motel would have been an upgrade after that. Loved your positive attitude.
At least Tony Perkins didn't check him in!
Hey Nate, Happy early Christmas. That drive sounds fun! Have a great trip! Gracie is so adorable!
Happy Holidays Everyone!
Hi Nate! Back in '79 on my way to Disney from my home in DC, I stayed at that motel. It was fantastic! My best memory is the lighted pool at night with my friends.
I love how you are at home in the 5 star places to half star places. 👍🫠
Anyhoos, y'all be safe & sound. Hug Miss Gracie for us. Toodles! 🎄☃️
Your daily vlogs with a bonus road trip is awesome! You’re doing an amazing job 🎉
We’ve been traveling past South of the Border since 1992
This was the absolute best review of SOB Ever !!!
Used to stay there every year beading to spring break..Classic spot, the shops, food.....loved it!!! Never any issues!! Simple place!!!!
Wow this unlocked a childhood memory! From Wv and we used to drive thru Pedro and I hadn’t thought of this in 20 yrs. Thanks Nate great memory😊
My family and I make the trip down I95 from NY to Disney every summer. We have come to love it. I love watching you make these road trips Nate! It's as much of our Disney trips as the parks themselves. Thanks for the good feels!
I love how humble Nate is. Most vloggers are too high & mighty to stay anywhere that isn’t Deluxe resort.
Memories are what matters.your seeing mom and dad Bonnie that’s what matters most.
South of the Border is definitely a staple if you’re driving down the coast. That’s our landmark when traveling to FL. It’s cool to see what it actually looks like to stay there.
Ah, old roadside attractions...this is my jam! Lol! These old, sometimes slightly sketch places make for the best roadtrip stories!
Lol Nate I'm 38 years old, moved to Florida at 16 from NJ. We would always stop at SOTB every summer for 8 years before my family moved here. 😂 so wholesome content
We used to stop there when traveling from Ohio to Myrtle Beach back in the 70’s! As a 10 year old it didn’t get much more exciting!
Been to South of the Boarder many times. Welcome home. It's been a little chilly, but supposed to be warmer, in the 50's for Christmas. Merry Christmas!
Thanks for the video. I loved the info about South of the Border. Gracie looks like she is very happy! I’m glad she is happy and having a great trip. Be very careful the roads. Are very crowded. Not everyone believes in driving safely. I can’t wait to see your beautiful family. You are most blessed person I know. Meow meow ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nate. Great video. I travel your route to my home in PA as well. I’m coming from Savannah GA. Depending on where in PA you are going, I take I 64 west in Richmond to I 81 and take I81 north all the way up to the Pine Grove exit. Way better, relaxing ride rather than going through DC metro area. Safe travels.
This is so wholesome. I love this! Gracie is the best to travel with. :)
Glad to see the road trip videos! Can’t wait see momma morrow and sister Bonnie
As a kid my family traveled to Florida many times in the 1950's. South of the Border was a 20 X 20' shack on the north side of rt # 301. They sold cold drinks and fireworks. As you were inside, kids came around from the back and placed a South of the Border sticker on your bumper.
South of the Border is now a roadside eye sore, my family that drove down from Philadelphia every year to Orlando and their marker the first night was SOTB, in those days (the 60') it was kept up cheap and clean, had a decent restaurant and a shop with junk souvenirs. They raved about how they loved to stay there. Now it's a roach infested flea bag motel.
Nate you are the BEST! You are one of the most genuine people on the planet and deserve all of the good things that come your way! I love watching your videos! ❤ I hope to meet you one day!
I absolutely love this video! Thank you, Nate, for sharing your travel day with us. ❤
This is your best video yet. I honestly couldn’t tell if you were full optimism or sarcastic about all the compliments , but it was a gem. Do more of this. Home run ! The bar of soap with the ants with disgusting, hilarious, and awesome !
Nate, you are a brave soul staying at South of the Border! Back in the late 90’s my now late husband and I ended up staying there because he didn’t book a hotel room as he promised. With exhaustion setting in, we stopped. I was not pleased then. The room we had was in a late 50’s early 60’s A-frame style. As a joke he got a “honeymoon room “🤦🏼♀️. It had a king bed with what looked liked a big carpeted packman over the bed. There was a TV and mirrors in that “thing”. I slept, clothes on, with my head at the foot of the bed as the carpeted thing was creepy and gross. Sigh.
We have enjoyed your 12 Days till Christmas Vlogs! Such fun getting to know you even more. Happy Birthday! 🎉 You deserve all the blessings coming your way, from the CZcams channel to RSVLTS and more.
Hugs to your Mom, Bonnie and Ariel along with Gracie of course. Gracie is the best! We love the little peaks of Gracie at the ends of your Vlogs. So glad you brought her to PA!
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁 ❤
Those old roadside stops from back in the day are everything! So nostalgic😊
Weeki Wachi the best...live mermaids!😅
Nate be safe! I love how positive you always are! ❤ enjoy your family!
Thank you. I remember taking a evening swim in South of the Border’s pool and being so excited to see what I thought were real palm trees 🌴. That was in 1970. Gracie is so adorable.
Love your videos Nate! You and Gracie are so cute together! Now please watch the bed bugs going to Mums house! 😂 We adore you for being so genuine . Merry Christmas! ❤️
Hey Nate and Gracie and you are the best and thank you for bringing us along with you on your journey home to Pennsylvania
Well, that motel looks terrifying 😂 I have never gotten to stop at South of the Border, just drove by it a bunch of times. I would definitely like to wander around there one day, but I think I’m going to pass on the overnight stay!! Gracie was being the bestest girl keeping watch from those cats❤
Sweet Gracie resting on that grungy motel bed is simply too much. But like her dad, she stays positive! Merry Christmas and safe travels 🎄 ❤
"It's getting worse and worse and better and better" is such an awesome description! ♥️
Merry Christmas, Nate. Being home for Christmas is so good for the soul. Enjoy your family time!
Evening Nate, hope you are enjoying a wonderful time with your family
I love this place. First time I was there was 1972. Stayed there several times in the 80's and 90's. Just stopped there again this past Sept. They used to have good restaurants and even had casinos for a while. Also stayed there with my 2 kids AND my Dalmation. (named Dice) Post office is gone.
Love this! SO excited for you to reunite with the family for the Holiday ❣️🎄
Nate, I love your optimism and amazing ability to tell stories. Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you! 😊
Hope you have safe travels Nate and Gracie!!! Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family!!!🎄
I just spent about 15 minutes in roaring laughter over those cats. The funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. 😂😂
This video tour is so much fun!
…and I love all of the cats!
But, Gracie is THE highlight of this video. She looks so pretty lounging on that bed!
You are amazing! I couldn't stay at that motel. You have such a positive outlook on everything! Luv you🎉
Gracie is so sweet! What a great dog! Love your videos Nate!
I went there many times going up. So nice to see it again. Thank you.
I live about an hour from South Of The Border. I like going down to Buc-ee's in Florence, SC then on the way home I stop by and check out the gift shops. It's so sad that you rarely see more than a few cars at a time there.
Merry Christmas, Mr. Morrow! Hope you have a great time with your family ❤ Thanks for bringing us amazing videos!
His last name is not Morrow. Paging Mr Marrow is heard in the Tomorrowland ride.
Love your positive attitude! Stop when you are tired. Sometimes it’s about the journey. ❤️
I love watching your adventures with Gracie and how sweet she is. Can’t wait to see your mom and sister next! Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄
You are amazing, Merry Christmas to you and Gracie 💜
I thought it was so funny and precious how you said after watching Yellowstone, you been wanting to become a cowboy after. Idk it just makes me think how we can get into something so much in life and it does make our personality until the next thing comes. It makes human life so much more fun 😊
We just love this vlog! It’s a lot of fun and making us want to take a road trip down to South of the Boarder! Definitely an iconic spot and everyone should try to visit it at least once in their lifetime!
Gracey is such a well behaved girl. ❤🐶❤️
Thanks for taking us along. Very smart to stop again and stay at a hotel. Good for the soul. Hi Gracey girl.
Have an amazing time seeing your family! Sending so many blessing for your family! You’re a sweetheart and so are they. Much love and happy happy holidays!
This had me laughing on so many levels! 😂 Merry Christmas, Nate! 🎄
These are my fav videos you make. Love when you are in PA seeing family. Great job with the time lapse too!! Have a very Merry Christmas with the family! 🎄
We stayed at that motel at South of the Border around 1991 and it was a little better but started to get run down. We did like the pool. My son was about 11 and really loved the pool. Oh, they had waterbeds in some of the rooms and we got one, just for fun. I kind of got seasick, didn't like it. When, we lived in Virginia and Maryland for 4 years we drove down to Florida at least once a year to visit my husband's family in Jacksonville. Then when we lived in the Orlando area, we drove back up to the DC area to visit my family. So, South of the Border was a great place to stop. We moved out west in 2003 and have not driven that way since.
You know, Nate… This was pretty normal roadside lodging for decades. They’re bare bones. Usually they are little worn down. But, millions of people have stayed in them over the last 60-50 years. They are not as nice as some of the high end properties you’ve been privy to over the last few years, but they get the job done. We stayed in this type motel all the time as a kid growing up in the 70’s and 80’s. I even stayed in them with my wife and kids through the 90’s and early 2000’s. In some small towns… this is all there is.
Yikes about the hotel, hope you made the rest of the trip fine. Merry Christmas to you all n
Merry Christmas Nate! We love the channel😀
I love a good road trip. So glad Gracey gets to go with you on some of your trips. Love the 12 days of Christmas vlogs.
You definitely need some rest. Enjoy your mom and sister and have a Merry Christmas 🎄. You are such a special person to watch because of your happy personality! Thank you Nate❤
This place looks like they are trying to fix it up. Still a work in progress. The Lobby looks very nice. Thank You Nate Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Health and Happiness to ALL now in 2023 and in 2024.
LOVED this video Nate and chuckled out loud a few times. Enjoy the time with your fam and Merry Christmas from Pittsburgh ❤🎄🎁
Just stayed there last month!! Didn't see any cats, thankfully. Apparently, they take days off from tourist mooching! lol. It's a tradition for myself too! I love this place also! For the run down old tourist trap it is! Everything you said is spot on.
I just love you!!!!! These vlogs, and YOU being YOU- I look forward to them, your personality is precious!!!!
I work 15m from this place and have always lived no more than 1h from South of the Border,,,,,it's seen better days.....and those days were along time ago.
Love this kind of video! Why not take us with you for walks, shopping and sightseeing sometimes.😊 Merry Christmas Nate and Gracie!
Wow. This video made me smile and LOL a LOT. Thanks for sharing your journey man!
What an awesome video. I really loved seeing you travel up 95 through Richmond, VA which is my neck of the woods. 😁
Nate this has to be one of your best videos!! Love you doing videos daily!!! Merry Christmas to you, Gracey and your family!!
I'm glad you followed your own vlogging rule: It's not about the destination, it's about the journey! Glad you decided to rest.
This looks so good! Can’t wait to see the scariest hotel room! 😂 Enjoy your beautiful family, Nate!
Happy Birthday!!!! Love your adventures!
Love your mom and sister. Blessed
Nate, regarding the cats scratching your hotel room door in the middle of the night at South of the Border, i gotta tell you. Once i stayed a few nights at my friend’s sister’s house when visiting the town where i had lived for 18 years. Barbara had three huge dogs that had the run of the place. But I didn’t want them sleeping with me. So i closed the door to the guest room and then spent the rest of the night listening to them scratching the door and whining, trying to get in. I wasn’t scared of them - i just wanted some peace!
