Joe your camera takes unbelievable videos. Everything looks like a post card. Germany sure is a beautiful country. May you and Gift have a wonderful time with your family.
Thank you 🙏 so much! I use my iPhone 13 max pro for videoing.
Thank you, Joe and Gift for a beautiful tour of Frankfurt, Germany. It warms my heart how your Son David likes Gift. Thank you for another wonderful video on y'all vacation..keep on filming but be careful...
Our pleasure! Both my sons have taken a liking to Gift and Gift has taken a liking to them as well.
HI Joe and Gift Thank you for sharing another fantastic video it was great you saw both your sons David & Jason.
Well what a lovely place Frankfurt is lovely and clean lots of great history with gtreat are for eating or having a drink.
So Gift was happy she just left you all in the square as she dived in Starbucks.
Enjoy the rest of your time there with your family.
Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Actually Jason is my grandson. My older son, while there with us, preferred not to be in the video. Thank you 🙏 so much for always watching.
Sunshine and beers! Ok, now we are talking!
Wowww- thanks for taking us along Joe & Gift! I’ve landed at the Frankfurt Airport for work a few years ago but never had the opportunity to check it out:( Went straight to Pforzheim then Berlin instead…. Thanks for taking us along 😊
Our pleasure!
In your title for this vlog, you say that this is the first time that you have been with your two oldest sons together in 6 years, however Joe, I only saw one of your sons from Hanau, so I guess that your other son is camera shy or perhaps there is a part 2. Anyway Frankfurt looks an amazing city and it was good to see that not all the historic buildings had been destroyed by Allied Bombing Raids in WWll, which only left around 30,000 buildings intact out of 116,000. I believe that some of the historic buildings were restored or completely rebuilt. The pile of rubble from the bombed buildings was not cleared and recycled until the early 1960s. I love all the squares there and the area with all the beer vendors and long tables, with the Traditional German Oom-pah band playing. All very Germanic. So glad that Gift managed to find a Starbucks for her chocolate. If this was recorded on Thursday, the holiday would have been for Ascension Day, a Christian holy day, (called Christi Himmelfahrt in Germany) which would account for the lovely church bells ringing. Thanks for the great tour of the city, God bless you and keep you safe throughout your exciting expedition. 😀❤🙏
Thank you 🙏. You are correct both times, my other son prefers not to be on camera and it was the holiday. God bless!
I see your all enjoying Frankfort with Gift and your son, very nice and clean town there. So enjoy you, Gift and your son enjoy yourself's there. Take care
Thank you 🙏 Actually both my sons were with us but my one son prefers not to be on camera.
Was so nice seeing Frankfurt again ! Danke ! Always liked the weisswurst dipped in mustard and so many other tasty foods enjoyed in the platz..thx so much for an enjoyable few minutes, waiting for more bitte ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Our pleasure!
Ahhhhh, Frankfurt Am Main...
My first assignment in the military (1975), where I returned to work in V Corps HQ years later (1989), and where my oldest daughter got married in 1997 (Standesamt im Romerplatz)...
Lots of moments...
Our house is outside Frankfurt between Hanau and Frankfurt...
Many good times in Bad Vilbel (nearby heading out from 97th General Hospital) where there were housing areas for officers and where my wife is from...
Memories...
Enjoy and nice to see the weather cooperating too...
Good to get together with the kids...What a trip you two are having!
🙏🙏🙏
👍😎👍
Thank you 🙏. I can’t remember the name but when I was younger, I would go to a club in Bad Vilbel.
The 3AD was under V Corps; do remember 97th General Hospital. Was there'70-'71; had some good times and experiences.
Thank you Joe and Gift. Video quality and sound very good. Enjoy your time with your sons.
Cheers from
Durban, South Africa 🙏👏
Our pleasure 🙏
Great to see everyone enjoying themselves. Take care and have a great day. 😊
Thank you 🙏 so much!
So nice to keep us posted on your journey and this time it's Germany. Gift looks so happy during this trip and she has such a wonderful sense of humor as well.Looking forwards to some more videos and cant wait to hear this big announcement.
Thank you 🙏
I watched this one with my Sony headset on and man…what an experience…it was like I was following you…I could hear everything in the background….very cool….and I haven’t had sauerkraut in a decade….!…food for the heart!😊
🙏
Absolute stunning ! A beautiful city with history and charm. Very nice visit to a clean city. Thank you for sharing!😊
Our pleasure!
I am surprised how good your Deutsch still is!
Thanks gift and Joe for sharing Frankfurt. Are you coming to the Netherlands to?
Our pleasure! Unfortunately, we won’t have time to make it to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 on this trip.
David and Jason look like twins or maybe I missed it. Anyway great that you hooked up with them and everyone else. Europe is beautiful and classic. When Ta and I move to Cha Am next year we will make the trip to Munich to try and find my mother's family. Oh and by the way Joe my uncle was stationed near Munich in the 10th or 12th armored divisions I think. He was there 1974 to 1981 then rotated state side to Fort Dix Jersey and I'm sure you're familiar with that base 😊
I went to basic training at Fort Dix. Thank your uncle for his Service.
Such a beautiful place n church bells just beautiful omg that food yummy many blessings from North Texas ❤
Great video again Joe &Gift. I was looking forward to Gift cooking all those ingredients from her shopping in the last video.
Thank you 🙏
I was in the US Navy and made 2 trips on 2 different ships in the mid 70's. Prices were similar to the US then. Prices now are surprising. Love Germany.
Thank you 🙏 for your Service.
Amazing tour. Thanks. Enjoy your trip. Stay safe.🙏
Thank you 🙏
Very nice you got to spend time with your sons n grandkids. Frankfurt looks very clean and good weather. Those riverboats looked interesting too. Thanks for taking us along.
Our pleasure!
Wow...$120 for meal of 3...Everywhere outrageous prices...keep up the fun😊😊😊
Thank you 🙏. On average we are finding that meals in mid range restaurants cost around 20 Euro without drinks.
Excellent tour,bake shop yummy,,food great nice to see people enjoying the beer, band and music..thanks for sharing..
Glad you enjoyed it!
Joe and Gift, a great video. Frankfurt was really nice.
Thank you 🙏
Glad Gift found her $10 coffee per cup place😂. Frankfurts beautiful as ever....food looked great
Gift’s little pleasures of life 😊
Ah, you have me flashing back to '74-'76 when I was at Torrejon Air Base Spain while my brother was stationed at Bitburg in Germany. Good times when I used to take military hops up to visit.
Thank you 🙏 to both you and your brother for your Service.
Hello Joe and Gift, wow so many old buildings and history contrasted with the brand new. I think I would go with your Son's choice of meal hehe. Great video 10 / 10 Keep Well, Stay Safe my friends.
My other son had the fresh salmon, asparagus, and salted potatoes.
Never been to Frankfurt... this video makes me want to go!!!
Thank you 🙏 for watching.
0:24- I remember when Gift was too shy to be on camera. Things have really changed.
9:00 They certainly know how to carry the beer mug ....with grace and dignity
😊
😊
What a lovely day together, your son has your warm smile, that lunch looked like a meaty challenge😋 Love the quality of photography,excellent 🥰👍🏿🍷
Thanks so much 😊
Great video Joe. I was also a soldier stationed in Bad Kissingen from 1985 to 1987. I have fond memories of my time there. I’ve been back a couple of times and with the Kaserne closed after the Cold War and all my army buddies gone, it felt weird. Nonetheless, the good memories remain and I love Germany. You have a wonderful family and I love how Gift and your ex-wife get along so well.
Thank you 🙏. Also thank you 🙏 for your Service.
Hello Gift & Joe Was stationed in Frankfurt am Main 1970-71 3rd Armored Division Drake Kaserne. Found the German people during that time were friendlier towards US soldiers in the countryside than the city. Started my military assignment in Nurenberg TDY during the Reforger 1 joint exercise between the US and German military forces. Took the Rhine River cruise and toured Nuremberg, Hanau and Munich for the Octoberfest '71 before the 1972 Olympics incident. It was a wonderful and memorable experience for me. The DM currency exchange rate was 3.44 to 4 to the US Dollar.
Thank you 🙏 for your Service and for sharing your story.
I was born in Dusburg and my dad in Koblenz by the deutch ecke. Went back and took my hubby and he loved it. Would like to go visit my cousins again.
9:34 Gift is such a happy-go-lucky girl, she's having lots of fun. 14:14 prost 🍺 🍻
I love the old buildings, so much culture and the music brings back memories.
Joe , what camera are you filming with?
As always, thanks for sharing and stay fit and healthy. 😊
🇨🇦 🇩🇪
Thank you 🙏. I’m using the iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Great videos and thank you for sharing your journey and life through your videos. You always surprise me with your wit and friends. You seem up tight all the time so relax and don't be so serious. I have watch you from your beginning and always surprise of the new adventures that follows. Keep up the great journey of life and show me more surprises. Like two kids and a ex that you keep in touch with?
Thank you 🙏. Up tight is just a perception 😊
I have to tell you Joe seeing you with your sons is unbelievable. It’s the best part of the trip. By the way I sold my Starbucks stock it crashed. Nice seeing your trip. I’d like to go to Italy with my wife.
🙏😊
Welcome to my hometown Frankfurt. Enjoy your trip.🙂
Thank you! 😃
another great great video take care All the best
Thank you 🙏. Glad you enjoyed it!
How luvly for you joe to be with both your boys. But am i wrong only saw david xx
Thank you 🙏 my other son prefers not to be on camera but you can hear him talking.
Frankfurt is always a nice place to visit, lots to see, have been to most of the places you walked by. If you want some great Italian food i can recommend a great restaurant.
Germany looks very clank think I will put it my bucket list 😊😊
Uk guy here, i visited Croatia back when Istria was still part of Yugoslavia and was surprised at the prices you encountered, but now in Germany 112 euros for three basic dishes? We complain about rip-off food prices in Britain, but that is taking the piss man.
Actually it was for 4 meals but still expensive though. The 4th meal was for my son who prefers not to be on camera.
Good stuff, beautiful country.
Thank you 🙏
So far I’m traveling with you so much fun the food look yummy your son very good looking ❤
Thank you 🙏. My other son is as well but he prefers not to be on camera.
Love German food, looked delicious!
Happy times. I'm glad you're getting the most out of your retirement. Never retired just a different mission. Actually more busy than ever life is good.
You guys have fun?
Thank you 🙏
The center City nice
Hey Joe,
ich wuste garnicht das du verbindung nach Deutschland hast. Ich schaue schon seit 2 Jahre deine CZcams-Videos. Alles toll.
Grüße an deine Frau und wenn du wieder in Hua Hin bist an Jonny und no time 2 be..
Gute Sache. God luck from Germany Hamburg.
Thank you 🙏
Another beautiful city, top day weather wise. Enjoy 🇦🇺🇦🇺😀😀
Thank you 🙏
JOE great video food delicious, GIFT beautiful girl, regards JIM HOBART TASMANIA AUSTRALIA,
Thank you 🙏
Wow , I have to take my Thai wife to Europe , where I lived first 20 years of my life and Australia , where I lived 42 years. Now stuck in Isaan , hahaha .....Very nice your trip.
Thank you 🙏😊
Stunning video Joe & Gift..beautiful family memories. Can’t wait for the next one.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice👍🙂
Thank you 🙏
Hi Gift and Joe . Thanks again for the video . For myself I was many time in Frankfurt for a visa for Thailand and for my new French passport , but I don't like Frankfurt . I like Hamburg , Heidelberg and Munich . Both of you enjoy your stay in Germany . Take care always and be safe there from saintes-maries-de-la-mer ( in the Camargue )
Thank you 🙏
That square definitely gives off the German vibe, and beers galore being poured, Hefeweizen for me please! $112, Holy Bratwurst I am staying in Southeast Asia LOL
😊
The food all over Europe is delicious, with the exception of the UK.
We haven’t been to the UK yet. Definitely a place we want to visit one day.
$112.00 for LUNCH!?! Looked great, BUT......CAAAACHING!!! LOL!
We are finding that average meals in mid range restaurants, in Europe, cost around 20 Euros without drinks. I’m happy we are just visiting.
I don't think I can afford to go to Germany for vacation at 112 bucks for lunch and then when you were in Italy, you were paying 65 bucks for lunch wow wow big wow
So?
Eating out in Europe is definitely not cheap.
Also Joe, just curious if you're gonna pay €2 million for an apartment where exactly do the workers that work in the city live because pretty sure the people working in the stores and the restaurants and the street department and the sewage people and the garbage collectors they can't afford that kind of moneyso they got slums outside of town they throw me or what I don't understand
I'm thinking same. Must be all Doctors or Lawyers or they got large inheritance? 🤔 😅😊
Yes, this is now a problem worldwide. Ordinary workers can no longer afford the rents in the big cities and have to live outside of them. But so far there are no slums in Frankfurt or in Germany. Frankfurt is not yet New Delhi.
So?
I really don’t know. I’m assuming they live outside the city. Really haven’t seen any slums in Germany. It’s a very organized clean country.
I only see one son? Did I miss one?
My one son prefers not to be on camera but you can hear him in the background.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 I totally understand, thanks Joe! Loving the Europe trip!
Here in US people use Starbucks as a status symbol! It's horrible coffee!!!🎉
Why don't you interview your sons let people know what they do are they married do they have families what schools did they go to were they in the army
My one son who prefers not to be on camera went to a university here in Germany and has an engineering degree. He also has a daughter (my granddaughter). My other son who you did see in our videos, does not wish to talk about himself or his family, has his own successful business and has one son (my grandson who is also in our videos). Thank you 🙏 for watching.
Sorry but did not see your 2 sons ..
My one son prefers not to be on camera but you can hear him talking at times.
Sorry but I just saw a younger guy walking with you and a 4 the lunch plate !!!! Nothing was said about them or introduced in the video ! Maybe next time enjoy the visit without the camera ! Title made no sense ! We loved seeing your ex and she was a part of it and you explained so well the situation past and present ! But this one just was not you Joe ! You make beautiful videos and we enjoy them ! Deutschland und Italien ist bei meinem heimland die schweitz !
What a great, emotional trip. I respect the fact that you've retained your German. I haven't been back to my homeland for over 60 years. Still miss the food.
112.00 USD. Sehr teuer.
Sometimes when on holiday you have to let your hair down .. just be sure it's short. You get shat you pay for unfortunately nowadays. Bushyboy Oz
I agree ☝️ but 20-25 euros seems to be the average prices in restaurants in Europe. I’m happy that we live in Thailand where we can eat out every night if we’d like.
Why your Son or Relatives settled in Germany
Was you married to a German
My first wife was German.
Why did u visit Germany? Paulaner Bier is from Bavaria not from Frankfurt / Hessen. Why no frankfurter Würstchen or the traditional green soße ? U don’t have a Scout ? /-: u don’t c the best things… :(
Greetz and have a nice Trip 🇩🇪✌🏼
My sons were born in Germany and I lived there for over 20 years. The food we chose was the food we wanted to eat. Thank you 🙏 for watching. Have a nice day!
Joe, you made a huge mistake. You should have stayed in the EU and retired in a cheaper country than Germany. I would have maybe pick Poland, Romania, Croatia, or Montenegro.
No mistake at all, I love living in Thailand with Gift.
@@thaigirlgiftforeignerjoe7774 Yeah, but everyone on YT said that this year, the weather was so hot in Thailand that you really couldn't breath the hot air. The heat was just impossible to deal with, unless you spent all your time indoor by the AC. Yes, if you are happy in Thailand, then it was not a mistake at all for you.
J0E
I watch a lot of CZcams
I find you very 0rganized n Disciplined person...
May be due to US forces
What was your Last Rank
And how many countries you served
I only spent 4 years in the US Army as an E4. After that, I worked in an agency in a leadership position for the Department of Defense for over 30 plus years I retired in 2018.
