Hiking, backcountry, camping, travel.

I created this channel because I have a passion for these things and want to share them with all of you. I am an avid hiker and camper and I can’t wait to travel again! I’m not sponsored so all my gear was bought and paid by yours truly. That way you know you are getting my unbiased opinion.

Whether base camp is a cold piece of ground in the mountains or a five star resort, trust that I will show you all the need to know before you go information!

  • @PapaSteveOnTheMove
    @PapaSteveOnTheMove21 күн бұрын

    @yvonneburns3855 if you like to go directly into the pool from your suite, consider the swim up suite. It could also be useful if you prefer to sleep in. The all-inclusive nature of the resort allows access to the restaurants and bars during open hours only. Each restaurant and bar keeps its own hours. There are still some Privilege areas that require additional costs up front and allow further access to some restaurants, bars and premium drinks.

    Hi there Steve, thanks for the video. I'm looking for some advice. I will be staying at Ocean Riviera Paradise with my wife next month. Booked an Eden suite without realizing El Beso existed. Is there any benefit with either section of the resort aside from their relative locations? Such as if I stay with the Eden, will I not be able to access El Beso amenities? And for reference, El Beso is a bit cheaper.

  • @PapaSteveOnTheMove
    @PapaSteveOnTheMove25 күн бұрын

    Hi @amlegrice the biggest difference is El Beso is adults only. There is a restaurant and a pool reserved with no children. The Eden has a much nicer location very close to the ocean. It depends if you prefer the adults only or the beach. In my opinion, the beach is full of seaweed and a bit windy so I would select the El Beso. Either way, you will have an excellent vacation. Enjoy!

    Great video! We are planning a day trip to Moraine lake from Calgary but all the time slots for shuttle to Moraine lake are fully booked so we are thinking booking the Lake Louise shuttle first and then take the Interlake shuttle from Lake Louise to Moraine Lake as that's included in the ticket. Will there be a lot of people lining up for the connecter shuttle from Lake Louise to Moraine Lake? How much buffer time should we allow us for waiting in line? Thank you!

  • @PapaSteveOnTheMove
    @PapaSteveOnTheMoveАй бұрын

    @jizhaoli2282 it could depend on the weather and possibly the date (busier on weekends and holidays) how long the lineup for the inter lake bus will be. It’s a great idea. I’m thinking arrive 15 minutes early and check the line. Then you have the option to join or to spend a few minutes doing something else.

    Thanks for the memories of Little Yoho. As a teenager I went there. My last name is Yoho. When I found the park on a map I had to see what was up. As a city boy from Ohio I was out of my element. The vastness of the forest between the massive mountains gave me my first clue of how small I really am. More, the bear prints in the ground gave me a sense of true terror. In all it was like being brought to life, awake in a new way. That was 47 years ago. Thanks, Art Yoho, from Columbus.

    @natachalada welcome to the channel! I usually book through an agent like Booking.com. I don’t trust airline/resort packages. If the savings are too good to pass up, go ahead and book but ask for an upgrade when you show up. Sometimes a good “tip” to the front desk can get you a better room. It’s a big resort and they want your money. Chichen Itza is well worth the day trip, however it is a long drive or bus ride.

    @@PapaSteveOnTheMove Hello Steve and thank you for the quick reply. It's very doubtful one could save money by flying into Monterey. I used to live on the Peninsula and I knew no one that regularly used MRY for that reason. We would all drive up to San Jose and fly out from there. SJC is much closer and *way more convenient* than SFO. That's ashame too because MRY is such a cozy and friendly little airport. I first flew there when Uncle Sam sent me to Fort Ord. I fell in love with the Peninsula and always think of it as my real home. I lived there for six years after the army but it's just too expensive. Even in Seaside.
