Thank so much
As a Brit living in the US, I am always amused to hear how you love the British accent, when in fact every few miles in the UK has a completely different accent. I enjoyed hearing your observations.
Four-wheelers are over-all superior as a carry on for the following reasons: they are more stable when placed upright unlike the two-wheeled that's prone to tip over; you can glide them in upright position thus relieving your arm of stress with constantly dragging them behind, and this is very important on long walks; they can be maneuvered in tight spaces because the four wheels rotate 360 degrees so you can move them sideways (very important in airplane isles). They are totally very easy to move around in general because they can spin, thus, the two-wheeled carry on had lost favor among baggage users.
Awesome video!
4:00 BIG CAVEAT: In New York City, right turns on red are completely banned. If you are somewhere else in the *state* of New York, you're fine. As long as you're not in the *city* of New York. Also, bonus: New York City bans honking without a good reason
Scotland is even more interesting/beautiful
That's what I have heard as well! I can't wait to visit Scotland on a future trip.
Orgasmatron… 😁
I’m going to South Korea soon. Do I need a passport card or just the book?
You definitely need a passport book. The passport card is only useful for limited travel like border crossings.
What about packing it??
We have had no issues with packing it. The compartments are similar to most other suitcases.
Been transporting wine for a while now- last night finally got crushed
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. 😬
Seeing that $30/ tank estimate makes me sad, things have gotten so bad in the past couple years I went from putting like $25/week to $100/ week in gas 😭
Yeah, the cost of fuel has definitely gone up. Though I still think we pay a lot less in the US than in most parts of the world.
Please don’t try this out any European country if you’re in the US I tried it and it said if this is an emergency dial 911. reply if this happened to you like me
I tried there with my android phone and it said. if this is an emergency, hang up and dial 911

From Canada to the US
I believe Canada shares the same international calling code as the US (+1).
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers! 😊
Who caress about the honeymoon don't need to know
Great video! So for me it would only be about 30% useful & is just another way for the Gov to get more money out of me. Got it. Lol.
Yeah, for most people, it's probably not worth the extra money for the Passport Card.
Can those soft shell bags support a 14kg / 30 pounds Backpack resting on top of them? (Hooked to the handle)
It probably depends on the individual bag. Some are going to have more reinforcement at the handles than others.
if im flying back from london to the usa, direct, and i buy alcohol at the duty free in london, would i be able to bring that onto the plane with me?
I did visit the US and the biggest difference from the UK is that the Americans have that American dream. In Britain we don't have a dream, there is no British dream because we are awake.
You fool . Scotch is so called cus it was first created in Scotland. Scottish. Scotch egg. Nothing to do with Scotch Whiskey, which is made in Scotland, thats why its called Scotch. OMD 🙄🙄🙄
What is the small billfold you use.
The Mitchel Money Clip wallet is the billfold that I use the most when traveling to places where cash is still the primary payment method. It's an awesome wallet!
Normani Merino Wool is the best!
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to check it out. 👍
Is can work as an id ?
Yes, the Passport Card can function as a general ID.
@@TripAstute thanks men
Can a child under 16 travel by land to Mexico with only birth certificate and expired passport?
Technically, I believe you still need a passport (or passport card).
2 wheel rollaboard style bags are easier to bring up and down a flight of stairs then a 4 wheeled trolley.
I would agree! 👍
I suppose the biggest thing I have noticed is the Corporations and their control of everything - I served in the British Army and we did training in the USA and R & R - it is almost as though you are living through the time of the 'robber Barons' that England and Europe experienced 600 to 800 years ago. The very rich Barons and the serfs (slaves with rights). Though I do think of the USA as being heavily indoctrinated and propagandized - 'Land of the Free' etc.. Yet you are one of the most heavily controlled countries in the world, certainly at the same level as Russia or China or Switzerland though I do think that you are not as bad as North Korea.
Yeah, corporations have a lot of power and control in the US. It's definitely become an issue, especially around safety regulations.
Used app during a recent trip to Japan. I was blown away with its ability to read signs and other written text. I enjoyed the conversation feature since english is rarely spoken in Japan. I recommend it to anyone who wants to communicate with locals.
Thanks for sharing your experience! I'm glad to hear that worked well in Japan. 😎
Well come to Coastal Georgia where we grow them BIG especially on the Barrier Islands! Real whoppers! Leave them alone, like you did. Smart move on your part. They don’t want to waist their venom on you. So quietly get away!!., As you said if you step on one or sit on one they will retaliate!
I do remember seeing some enormous snakes when I lived in the South! 😱
They dont make that size anymore they only make the mini i wish they bring back the normal size for cinch bag
That's too bad. The normal size functions great as a general daypack.
Very informative thx for sharing
Glad it was helpful! 😊
Thanx man for this. You mentioned something about durability. Obviously it's not going to be as durable as some hard material but did you encounter any problems? Such as tears leaks etc? I want to be fully aware before I make a purchase.
We haven't experienced any leaks with our Platypus softbottles. However, we try to pack them in separate compartments when hiking to minimize any potential pokes or tears. So far, they have held up well! 👍
Thanks for the overview, but i would have liked to see a tutorial, oh well back to KZread.
I've switched from using Google Translate because it often gives direct answers that aren't very accurate. Instead, I've started using Immersive Translate, which conveniently displays both the target language and the translation outcomes on the same page. This way, I can better understand the context and nuances of the language.
Thanks for the tip. I should check out Immersive Translate as well! 👍
Thanks 👍🏽
Thanks for checking out our video and channel! 😊
I lost my Accomplice Capsule Wallet and its difficult to replace it… Still dont know if i buy it again or start with a new wallet. I need a full benchmark 😂
Sorry to hear that you lost your wallet! 😔
@@TripAstute its Ok. I choosed the Bellroy Card Pocket and I am very happy. very small, long, and the opening is very convenient. I love it.
P😅ll
If an airport has multiple priority pass restaurants, are you able to use $56 credit(+ 1 guest) for both restaurants?
How far in advance to my travel date do I need to purchase a onward ticket?
.
hi in term of quality and robustness which one do you consider the best between this one and the Bellroy leather card wallet ? because the two looks like very similar. thanks.
The leather and zipper on the WaterField wallet seems a bit more premium, but the Bellroy is made from more sustainable leather (if that matters to you). Both are great quality though. My Bellroy wallet is still going strong, and the leather has developed a beautiful patina over the years.
@@TripAstutethank you. what is the size of the waterfieled wallet you manipulate on this video ? compact ?
Should I use Viber to call Croatia? Is it free? Thank you
It depends on the number that you are calling. I believe that it's free if you're calling another Viber user. However, if you're just calling another number (landline or mobile), it will likely cost extra.
BSP car Morocco customer service both French & English were incapable of doing there job properly just bunch of incompetent losers. Misleading adverting just lies. The lady from customer service mumbling. She just ain't do anything for me she just said they were working in the City of Rabat, Morocco herded like cattles there she said there is nothing she can do for me to get my car at the airport slack. BSP car corporation must change the whole staff & management there. What a shame!
Yikes. Sounds like you had a nightmare experience. Sorry to hear that it was so difficult and frustrating.
Ahhhhh J-walking is what I would need to remind myself of😂 I jwalk on a daily in South Africa
Yes, it's definitely a strange rule in the US! 😂
Lol the gas...that would be weird...we have guys who do it for us in South Africa . Anyway I will have someone drive me around.
Just got my visa approved this week 🎉 planning my trip for next month 🎉
Hope you have a wonderful trip! 😎
I use Google translate to work with immigrants. I am just learning and discovered today that you cannot use google translate microphone when you are on a call. The microphone will only work with the call.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing. 👍
Is this bag good enough to leave a conceal carry in locked in a car?
Avoid Timeshare Like the Plague.---They hit you while you are vulnerable==Relaxed, on vacation, no stress,& enjoying your family--The presenter starts friendly and low key--Later he will evolve into an insulting, a**hole. Buy a dividend paying mutual funds--Use the dividends to pay for annual vacations. The sales commission is expensive and the resale is less than half of what you paid. Moreover, if you are foolish enough to buy Timeshare, buy it on the resale market at 50% or more off. Some people will give you their Timeshare if you take over high maintenance fees.
