    Out of all of the RVer's, I have watched you and your family since the beginning. I enjoy and look forward to your videos every Sunday. Hawaii has been beautiful and with the exception of the 1 bad experience you had with the Road to Hana, it looks like you have had a blast. Glad your mothers and sister were able to join you. Keep those videos coming.

    We lived in Hilo for 3 years a few years ago. Thanks for stopping the lava flows for them! We lived thru an active lava flow, a direct hit from a hurricane and lots of rain. We preferred the Hilo side because it’s more rural and less commercial. Great food, nice people and plenty of seafood.

    So great to see your visit to the Big Island. I lived there for a year back 1977-78. I could have stayed there forever. The man o wrays and dolphins tickled my heart.

    I absolutely am so excited that they finally let you have comments again. You are the one family I have been watching from the very beginning. I love the smile on your face Marissa. You can truly see how happy you are. Thankyou for sharing all these years of you and your family breaking the mold doing amazing things.

    and they just got theirs back very recently,
    as well! Gone for 2 1/2 years, too!

    My husband and I went to the Big Island in 2019 for our 25th. It's awesome! We stayed in Airbnbs and circled the hole Island in 10days. It's like 4 different places/terrains on one island. We like it quite and simple, so we try to avoid resorts. We met and stayed with some great locals folks.. I'm glad you've enjoyed and got to go at a slower pace. We loved the coffee too.

    I have been to Hawaii twice. Kawaii and Honolulu. My husband is a pilot. He worked for an airline so we got great discounts on the trips we went to Hawaii ♥️ He is retiring in about year, so we plan on traveling in a camper van seeing the our beautiful country! He wants to land in every 50 state in his or another plane. I want to travel around and follow him and camp in as many National Parks, State Parks….. Camp Host sites… I have been watching a lot of Utube adventures in people traveling! I love the info and all the places you and others travel to👍♥️

    We were there on our honeymoon 31 years ago. we stayed on maui but puddled jumped to the big island for only a single day. We took a tour that hit the volcano natl park. We road down where we saw the lava pouring into the ocean seeing the steam rise (from a good distance) probably were you saw the youngest land on earth! Then we went to the lush and beautiful side with water falls. We wished we would have stayed on the big island for a few days out of our 10 short but glorious days. Hawaii in general was so laid back & so beautiful, we so would love to return!

    I love the Big Island! That looks like a nice place to stay at. They didn’t have Airbnb’s when I went to Hawaii many years ago. Hawaii has the best sunsets. They are so gorgeous. Luau’s are fun to go to. Hula dancing is so pretty to watch.

    Yes!!! We can tell you how much your family is loved and appreciated now!!! I started to cry when the hula dancer started dancing to a song I danced to in my hula classes as a little girl. I sure miss the islands. Time to go again!! This time I'm going to go to a new place to snorkel....never got out of Kona with snorkeling last time. And after we try vanlife here for awhile....I'd like to do that too!!
