Many have asked if we are safe after the tragic event in Christchurch a few days ago. Yes, we're back in the States now. After spending time with the wonderful people of New Zealand, we will continue to hold a positive thought for all the lives impacted.

We went on a 13 day cruise around New Zealand last October. We had a wonderful time on our tours on land, interacting with the wonderfully friendly people of New Zealand. We enjoyed the sites. But, as enjoyable as it was, the views, the interactions with the people, the closeness of the beauty of what we are seeing on your journey is amazing to us. It makes us want to return, rent a van and see the rest of New Zealand.

Glad you're home safe. We were wondering if you came back early because of that, or was it just the timing of your trip?

A simple thumbs up doesn't thank you enough for what you shared. :)

I have a huge issue with your vlog - there aren’t enough of em’. The editing, the sound track, the content, and then you guys make this such an amazing escape for all of us dotted around the world. Your whole family is so genuine and kind and honest. Thank you so much for the 20 minute escape. ✌🏻🇿🇦

Best shot of the episode: time lapse of the clouds rising on the lake and the boat motoring out, turning and moving on.

Got lucky that morning!

Swinging on a rope tied to a tree and landing in a river. I’m nearing 60 years old and I can remember every time that I’ve done that. Memories that last a lifetime.

OF COURSE we gave this great video a thumbs up! Everything KYD does is interesting enough to watch twice. My wife & I got a kick out of Marc saying "Please consider giving us a thumbs up,......we have set a goal of 2000 likes for each NZ video." We on the other hand, broke out the champagne later this afternoon when we got our 98th subscriber! I'm turning 67 shortly, and I'm fairly certain I don't have enough time left on the planet to get to 174,000 subs.

I sound like a broken record when I once again simply say, "Wow". Loved the imagery of the "ghost ship" at 14:54.

I think given the choice between the two, I would rather go to New Zealand than Alaska. Much less mud and rough roads. Thanks for the magnificent videos!

Three have been 20K views and just 3.5K likes! How can that be? There should be at least 10K likes! How can someone watch this beauty, grandeur and teens swinging into river (best teen memory), and not like?!! - Jersey Mike

Wow, just wow! I am so enjoying your New Zealand trip. I spent eight weeks there back in the 1990s, mostly on the South Island. Your videos are bringing back so many memories for me. I did a farm stay in Te Anau. Instead of Milford Sound, I did the cruise on Doubtful Sound. It was a gray and mystical experience that ranks way up there! Your weekly videos are such a treat. Much thanks and gratitude 🙏

I totally called the wrong window thing. While watching with the wife, like I do every Sunday, I said, "Watch it's the wrong window." When it was, I told her I only said that because it's something that would happen to us. BTW, our motor home is in the shop to get the awning arm fixed because I knocked it of. Thought I'd bring that up since I have that in common with Marc. Also wanted to mention it if Marc gives Trish too much guff for the window 😄

KYD is slowly evolving into KYFM - Keep your Floral Macros.

WOW, just wow! From the simple family time to the AMAZING filming paired with the music, so well done! I watch your videos on my 4K big screen TV, and this episode was done so incredibly well the viewing was magical! It was truly spectacular and all of that came across to the viewers. Nice work. At the beginning, when you ask for 'likes' I want you to know that you should ask KZread to allow the likes from the TV, as I can't 'like' from the big screen, (although I am a subscriber) they should make it easier for viewers to like from TV because so many people are watching from their home TV, and you deserve the 'likes' so I jumped on the laptop to do so. Anyways, this was a fantastically done video, the music, the family the scenery- excellent! Enjoy the rest of your NZ adventure!

4K does not do it justice. You gotta go! When you wake up on the side of a lake and there are mountains all around, with no other campers to make noise, it is truly magic.

rain or sunshine the Milford drive is spectacular , ty for showcasing my country of Aotearoa

More amazing footage! I love Sunday evenings❣️praying for your continued safety and for those in NZ affected by this recent tragedy.

New Zealand is absolutely stunning and beautiful, incredible job with video, audio and editing thanks for sharing. 👊👍😎

Epic scenery in this episode. Hard to believe there are places on earth this amazing. Great job getting all of this in the vlog. Safe travels y'all

I love the way you captured your son walking up the stream, excellent photography all round!

I can vouch for how good that Deer Park campsite is. We spent a great time there when travelling ourselves in NZ

I agree with you about the extraordinary beauty of New Zealand. I lived in Christchurch in the early 90’s and was always amazed by the unspoiled beauty and how few people are there so it doesn’t get overcrowded. I did your trip sort of, including Queenstown, Milford sound boat trip and around he whole of the South Island. Outstanding. Brought back memories. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing!

My prayers for New Zealand. Don't worry Marc I have a touch of OCD myself. Beautiful! Keep the rubber on the left side of the road.

That has got to be so hard!

The quality of your videos absolutely floors me. They are wonderful. I get lost watching them every time.

My wife and I got to honeymoon in NZ and French Polynesian. Your trip is bringing back such great memories. The Milford Sound was one of the most beautiful places we saw there. Loved Franz Josef and Queenstown - did anyone jump? We both jumped the original bridge. I know you are back but hope you got to experience one of the jet boats - crazy. How about the deer farming? The herding dogs are amazing too! Thanks for the trip down memory lane - love your videos!

this brings back such beautiful memories of Cheryl and my trip there a few years ago. I would go and live there in a second if I could. the best place on earth I would say.

Just so beautiful...love the sound of the water..

So very glad to know you back in the states.. I was concerned for you all. My heart goes out to the people of New Zealand ! Bravo !! on a fantastic Vlog of your tour in New Zealand ! I agree.. You guys should be at 1 Million Subs for the way you carry out your Videos.. Also, your abilities to narrate your trips and, deliver exciting side stops. Can't wait to see what you all bring to your next Journey... Love you guys ! Peace and Good Health !! :)

Just recently came upon your channel through someone else who follows you. And I have to say I have binge watched most of your videos. Love your family and what you are doing. You are so inspiring to just go explore the world. I love how real you all are. And I have to say I like before even watching your vlogs, because I know I will love them, and I don't want to miss liking them. You should be at 1 million subs at the least.

How could you view this vlog and not hit the like button!! I would hit it several times if allowed. As always another wonderful vlog! Welcome back !❤️

I’m late to the KYD videos - and I’ve been binge watching them, trying to catch up. This particular episode was breathtaking. The cinematography is absolutely phenomenal, worthy of an award. I actually teared up at the beauty. I so appreciate all the time that is spent on getting these great shots. Thank you. And of course you all are very fun to watch. Bravo. What a great family. I am also current and know you’re now dealing with an empty nest. Hugs to you💗

Just spent two months in the South of Chile and the scenery was incredible and hardly no humans

Stunning! Just stunning! Trish - I was having a heart attack watching you holding your phone in the Kayak. Please get a pop socket or ring holder to reduce the risk of dropping it in the water.

Quite possibly some of the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever seen. It’s like a fairy tale...magnificent!! Your videography was incredible!!!

Great view and pictures. The video was so Cool. Alot of breath taken views.

Its amazing how this small couple of Islands has such awe inspiring landscapes.

I have only discovered this site two days ago and have watched your NZ Vids three times over already plus pieces of your US journeys. It is so refreshing to watch loving people's take on life. I wish to thank you on behalf of my country for your kind words. NZ.

O.M.G! That was some absolutely amazing and beautiful landscape you captured. Seriously you two, stunning job on this video!

Wow, you made it a whole 13 minutes without close-ups of flowers! 😉 Only teasing, your videos are always very lovely and cinematic. Thank you!!!

I have never seen more beautiful videos. Fantastic country, thank you for sharing.

What an amazing video!!! Stunning. I want to thank you for all your skill in teaching us to look beyond our daily grind. We just started our 4 month journey, we are 7 days in and are enjoying the beautiful Arkansas forests. We are from NJ. Hope to see you on the road. Thanks!

Serious travel eye candy, each view as gorgeous as the next! What an amazing country. Thank you for sharing with us! Great music selections as well.

Milford Sound is a stunning destination along with Fiordland National Park. Just and FYI, there is a campground in Milford Sound but you have to book early - not your scene I know. You need to see Milford when it's raining, it's waterfall cornucopia.

NZ is such a beautiful country to RV and camp in. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures! #KYD

I look forward to traveling videos every single Sunday. This makes me want to travel the United States. Saying hi from Alaska. Happy birthday Tricia

Just one word, spectacular.

13:25 - 14:05 really had me remembering back to watching the ending clips of CBS Sunday Morning with my dad when I was a kid... and that's not a bad thing. Excellent cinematography!!

im very lucky as im a coach tour driver here in nz and I get to see all of this awesome country alot been driving round nz for 41 years

oh my word. I was thinking about commenting on Marc's flower images are getting better but then the scenic video is just amazing! thanks again.

Amazing views! Go figure they sent the wrong window...lol

The south island of New Zealand is paradise. I know this is an older video but you did a great job!

This episode was awesome! Loved the music again. Sunday's are for KYD :)

Absolutely stunning

Sure wish I had a LOVE button to press, this is my favorite video of your whole trip so far! The views are stunning and I absolutely loved listening to the nature sounds. Makes me wish we could hit the road now and not have to wait for 2020. So glad you are safe and back in the states. Thank you for the awesome "vacation" we got to spend with you. Safe travels and see you out there someday!

OMG! How beautiful was that! You have definitely inspired us to take a trip to New Zealand! Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to go see it! I lived in Dallas for a few years too! Could not stand the flat horizon, but did a lot of cycling-centuries mostly.

Carolyn Burelbach Texas is more like Australia. NZ South Island is more like Colorado/Wyoming/Switzerland without the people. Internet not required to enjoy your break

loved your honest exhaustion, the music, the love of exploration, may we all reach for the beauty within that is the mountains and waters you shared. safe travels always.

We rented a Holden station wagon in Christchurch and drove to Mt.Cook and Milford Sound....in 1987. Thanks for the fun video.

Tyler, TX here! Aside from the serendipitous encounter with a New Zealander who knew where Tyler is...an overall great video. Can’t wait to go.

I'm from Florida and have been to NZ in 2014 and again in 2018. Used Wilderness both times at 5 weeks each time. Only time in B&B was day in and last day out. Had quite a few of the same experiences as you all did with the exception of breaking windows! Ha Ha First time we started in Christchurch, did the South Island, took the Interisland as you to the North, did the North Island and dropped the Wilderness in Auckland. 2nd time was reverse................did the North first and then the South dropping campervan in Christchurch. Helicopter to Milford Sound from Queenstown was amazing!!!!

My heartrate must've gone down about 20 beats from just watching the footage taken from the water...the mountains, the waterfalls and the music had me in awe. Thank you for creating and sharing with us. NZ was always on my bucket list but now sooner, rather than later...

So beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your journey!

such awesome scenery wish I could of fit in your suitcase! But THANK YOU for taking us to NEW ZEALAND!!!

I think New Zealand has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth ! Thanks so much for sharing your trips, adventures and lives with us this was another awesome video loved it.

Trish, I can't even repeat a joke properly so I understand about repeating facts correctly. :) My goodness this trip is so beyond beautiful!

Love the floral and fauna photography. Bravo.

You guys do such a good job with these videos. Kudos and keep them coming.

The scenery, oh, my goodness; beautiful. Great waterfalls and choice of background music! Y'all Be Safe!

Thank you for taking me along to New Zealand, just stunning

Just discovered this channel - I used to live in NZ - have 2 Kiwi kids - and I'm down here 'stuck' (not complaining!) here for 12 weeks because of the 'CV' - this has been such a godsend of an evening 🇳🇿🤙🏼

Awesome video! 👍New Zealand is now on our bucket list of places to visit.

That was a Beautiful Video. Thank you for sharing this Wonderful Trip and your Great Family Life with us.

That was beautiful, I have a photograph which we bought back in Queenstown of a beautiful waterfall just starting its cascade down the mountain, it takes pride and pleasure in our bedroom even after all this time...

Fantastic video! New Zealand is now on my bucket list.

Hope you enjoyed your self in our beautiful country i really loved your video those wilderness campers are really nice. We are all praying for every one who was killed or injured PEACE TO ALL

One word for this video....Spectacular!!!😍

Just amazing. Reminds me a little of Alaska in some of those sounds. But better. Your music selection just allowed me to float along. What a tremendous trip. Could it get any better? You guys handled the window thing well. Isn’t that the way it always goes. At least in our world it is. Your boys have no idea that they will be carrying these experiences for the rest of their lives. Well done!

Watching your travels down in New Zealand makes waiting to go even harder. So enjoy all the scenery you’ve shown.

Breathtaking video. It looks like you had the trip of a lifetime. Thanks for taking us along vicariously!

Thank you for reminding me of how spectacular NZ is...and showing me things are still much of a muchness since my last trip (of 5) 10 years back...now am itching to return ! You do a great job and are lots of fun to follow...

Thanks for evoking memories of wonderful New Zealand.

Breathtaking is an understatement! And your musical choice for the first half of the Milford Sound scenes was so emotional...it just perfectly enhanced the incredible beauty! Stellar episode!

S. P. E. C. T. A. C. U. L. A. R. The video, the sound, the music, the family, the scenery. SO grateful that you are allowing us to travel along virtually with you. Another video that brought tears of joy to my eyes.

This has been my favorite video, so magical, so grand. Thanks for taking us along.

Wow!! What a spectacular Country and scenery! Thank you the great tour!

Sunday night dinner with your family. Priceless!

Thanks Mark and Trisha for all the wonderful videos and all the great information and thanks fo the KYD hat Mark.

Such gorgeous scenery! I am so glad to have been able to watch this one the images will stay with me. It will be awhile before I can watch again as I head off for some serious surgery that will see my neck fused to my back. I only pray that I will be able to get out there this summer in our Reflection. Enjoy the rest of your trip!

STUNNING! ! ! ! ! !

The drive from Milford sound to the tunnel is absolutely spectacular in the rain. Hundreds of waterfalls appear as the rain has to run off the solid rock faces. On our way in it was pouring and we were thinking that was bad but when we saw how much more beautiful it was compared to our sunny drive out were glad!

Stunning!

Found your vlog. Had to watch the NZ. Our son was there last year from January until July! We went for two weeks and traveled much of the same area you did on the South Island. Milford sound was amazing along with the glaciers and then rainforest. Queenstown was also stunning!

Simply beautiful! Thank you for sharing this work of art with us.

You make New Zealand look amazing. Another great video. Thank you.

I love watching you guys. New to rving and have watched your oldest videos all the way to current. I have to tell you, your editing and cinematography has progressed to a point where I sometimes forget I’m watching funny and informative videos and more feel as though I’m watching a Discovery channel documentary. Incredible work. Please keep sharing.

Starting @ 14:06 ... cinematic mastery!

So I think the RV you used would be a massive hit here in the ‘ol USA... esp with the van movement going on here. I enjoy you’re videos and the mental break it gives me on Sunday nights. Thanks!
