Got to bring one of those things to Southwest Florida when we're experiencing a hurricane. Wouldn't that have been a hoot during hurricane Ian 🙌😂😂😂😂 I'm originally from New Jersey if I pulled something like this off none of my neighbors would be surprised down here in Cape Coral 😂😂😂😂✌️

We just made our life trip to New Zealand, which we had saved for 20 years. We spent a whole three months there and absolutely loved every minute. 🥝🌎

Oh, we're fully aware we barely scratched the surface. I always wish we had more time. Of course, we do need time to edit these videos to push out too, but wouldn't mind a staycation to really get to explore the islands.

Hi all! Seems this needs to be addressed since we've gotten several comments on it. We are actually wearing seatbelts in the video, yes. Most modern vehicles, including this one, will literally yell at you for not wearing a seatbelt. You'd never have been able to hear us talk without it beeping. And we're never not wore seatbelts, like ever. Not in the US, and especially not in a new country where we're not even used to driving on the opposite side of the road. Sorry if there's confusion on that, but thank you for trying to look out for us! It's reassuring that so many kiwis care about seatbelts and safety.

New Zealand is AWESOME. I was able to visit several cities while I worked on cruise ships. Amazing sites, food, and people.

Damn you absolutely aced most of the pronunciations of the Te Reo placenames. Also the Redwoods are actually a pretty popular filming location for local and international tv and movies, so you're not far of with the Star Wars comments. Im lucky enough to go for walks around there 3 or 4 times a week so its always so funny seeing it on youtube.

Yes! Zorbing originated there…I did this in 2008 and loved it. I went twice on the 2nd track. When I was there…they had the option of being strapped into the middle where you would actually flip/roll head over foot. No thank you on that one. PS I left the US on Christmas Eve and arrived the day after Christmas. We had about 2 hrs of Christmas in the middle of the night in flight before crossing the date line.

This is a great question. Honestly not something we really thought about. We were there very recently. June/July ish is winter in New Zealand so it was a bit cold in some spots (obviously not cold enough that we couldn't splash around a bit 😂). We talk about that a bit more in our next video as we're outdoors more in that one, but idk it's not usually a question we get asked so I guess it goes overlooked
