    Karen and Mike, Greatly enjoy your KZread channel. Always enjoy the fireside chats, even your dinner reviews. I was wandering if you could maybe sometimes speaking about thing people can do with mobility issues. As for example I have COPD, and my wife has a bad knee. So sometimes it hard to even plan a trip because we don’t know what is available. We are 57 yrs of age , things like electric bikes or scooters, dune buggy, golf cart rentals are not out of question. Your alls videos has really helped us in choosing places. Thank you for all ya do. We are just looking for things to help us along and have a better experience instead of struggling or even dreading going .once again, Thank you.

    What a beautiful resort. Enjoyed your fireside chat...hit close to home...its even more difficult when the guilt trip is within the family...that's tough...they lay it on thick..and insist you keep the " reservation". Makes things difficult. Appreciate the chat. Would love a part 2 of family guilt trips... Hope to see y'all in October.

I don’t understand the reason folks try and put guilt on others, i think they need prayers and need to feel love. That deck of cards isn’t on my table to play. Thank you thank you for always putting your viewers and all others first in this life. All my Love, hugs and kisses for Big T

    Storming in the Florida Panhandle. Blowing rain, thunder, lightning. Thunder is so loud it shakes the house and windows. I usually don't like resort campground, but this one is very nice. Pet friendly. Great. I love that they have the church on site. Glad they have tiny houses, and glamping tents. Choices for people who don't have a travel trailer, rv, etc. Loved the blessing, the food, and the fireside chat. Poor Big T, I pray he heals soon. 🙏 Hugs 🤗 and kisses to you buddy. Get well soon. ❤️
