I was there yesterday. Park was quite empty for a holiday. Pizza window was open so win all around.
Is it cheaper or the same price to get the passes online verse the visitor center?
I think it was the same price.
Currently on eBay the Nuvo system is under $500 and the cartridges are under 165 for both.
good deal!
Happy Canada day to our friends north of the border
Absolutely! Happy Canada Day!
I was with Lewis in thinking tapioca in watermelon did not sound good. lol Glad it wasn't tapioca! Your banter back and forth was cute in this one.
Thank you! We do like to give each other a hard every now and then.
Nothing to say just helping the algorithm.
Thank you 👍😊
Its not pronounced via it is pronounced veea rail.
Thanks. Someone else told us they knew right away that we were Americans. lol
Great information! I have a gambling channel and me and my girlfriend are taking a cruise to Alaska that we are gonna Vlog, trying to decide to put it on my channel or just do a new channel since we travel a bunch and we are both disney fanatics lol. This was a great video!
Enjoy your trip! As far as whether or not to start a new channel, that's a difficult question. Something we struggled with for a long time, and I'm still not sure if we made the right decision. The algorithm does like it when you stay in your niche. And the new channel that we have is growing fast, but at the same time managing multiple channels can be challenging and we're back to working for free until the new channel is monetized.
@@professionalweekenders makes sense.
their lightning shows are so much fun! i remember when i was little, and we did a sleep over at the museum of science, they did that show all night long for everyone, my sleeping bag was near the wave machines, it was such a fun experience.
also, the duck boats in the window with the charles river, that is a fun experience too!
That sounds amazing! I really wish we had the time to have seen the show. It is super cool that you get to sleep overnight there.
They look like a lot of fun. Another thing we ran out of time to do. But we did manage to make it on the water with the Harbor Cruise and the ferry.
on a good sunny day, just walking through the commons, or going to where the swan boats are. its always nice to just relax and enjoy the green space. and the swan boats are always fun to do as a unique experience in the city. but there is something just relaxing, even when its busy, just sitting and enjoying the sun and the openness, and all the gardens, of the commons and the public garden where the boats are.
Thanks for the tip! Boston is such a unique city. We really enjoyed our time there.
Never knew that existed. I go to Armature works once in awhile. Ever try Rick's on the river pretty cheap place to eat good fish sandwich.
We do Armature works regularly too. Love the empanadas! I keep hearing about Rick's, but haven't been yet. I need to add it to the list!
@professionalweekenders I never been at night heard it gets crazy because of the live music. I usually hit it up for lunch.
Free parking on the right, but you get a ticket on the left?!? Sounds like municipal government to me :-). Props to you two for filming in liquid sunshine!
Lol, I was soaked the rest of the day.
Did you empty your pool water into the street? Did you do it yourself??
At that point, we were resurfacing the whole pool anyways. We hired a company to come out and do the resurface. They drain the pool for us.
Professional- what'up! outstanding . bye~
Hey! 👋
Is it better to book the 8pm or the 8:30pm dinner?
It depends on the time of year. I would suggest booking one hour before sunset.
Loved your honest comments. Helped in my dicision making.
Glad it was helpful!
Carry some tongue extensions...as many as needed. Also, get rid of the carpet on the bunks...poly strips are slicker than snot in both directions.
That'll work too. 👍
I put a standard marine outboard tank (6 gallon) in the bottom of my front storage compartment of my Yamaha. I have a cheap 12v pump which I power with my lithium jumper pack that resides in the same space. Easy fuel transfer on the water with a hose and I no longer carry unneeded garbage up front like I used to lol.
I'm sure that works well. Just be sure to vent it outside of the ski.
@@professionalweekenders Hatch is open during refueling. Tank vent is otherwise always closed.
I live in Lakeland. I go to BSP to hike. BSP is a non profit. The family fun field is where they have special events. Parking can be a huge problem. There is a path behind Butterfly house where you might see wildlife. Plenty of gators. The canopy board walk is decorated with Christmas lights and plenty of weddings
Thanks for the additional info!
Just got back. Thanks for your video. Must watch if your Going. Truly appreciated.
Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful, and even more glad that you had a great trip!
Spray bottle link doesn’t work
Thanks for letting me know. Here is a new link: amzn.to/3yVq1Lb
we enjoyed that restaurant, the view is amazing, the food was great. Canada has a very easy vibe. I can't wait to go back.
Awesome! Glad to hear you had a good time!
You’re missing links to the products or add-ons to what you referring to leaving your videos lacking for any real help
Thanks for letting me know. This was an old video. Always improving. I've added links now. 😃
Six more days, and I'm off on the Bliss, for a 7 day, solo, Alaska. 6-15-24.
Awesome! You're going to have an amazing time!
I have it NUVO system. I agree. I wish I never bought it. so if you find a salt system that works and is reusable, I'm looking forward to changing miine
Thanks for sharing. I've not yet gotten around to replacing it. Just hasn't made it to the top of the priority list.
Man's got more green in that garage than the IRS
Lol. Ryobi tools are inexpensive once you get a few batteries. Especially from direct tools outlet.
@@professionalweekenders true true, I was also referencing the green skiis as well
Well done great Blog
Thank you!!!
What a pane in the a--- fucking engineers.
She had mentioned that she was little soggy when she was done with ride.. Was this from the mist of the falls?
No, not from the falls. It was raining that day.
Hello 👋
Hello!
Thanks for sharing!
No problem!
what about a paddle?
That is a good idea as well.
cheap ?
It was. We paid $100 USD per night in 2022. I think the prices have gone up since then, but likely still comparatively cheap.
How do you know the direction after left the ramp? Do you use specific gps or just your phone?
Just used my phone. Most of the time we were just skirting the coast so we never lost cell coverage. Enough for the style we ever went was alligator reef, which is 5 mi offshore. Even there we still had coverage. Also you can see the lighthouse from land, and land from the lighthouse. So you're never without a visual landmark as well.
Nice ! Good vid!
Thanks for the support!
How deep is the cut?
It's been a while, so I don't exactly remember. But it's fairly deep. Saw plenty of large boats, 30 to 40 ft, roll through there.
You can build your own dolly out of 2x10s and it can even have a winch so it's super easy to move the ski.
You are correct. That is and affordable option. But for only $100, I thought these metal dollies for a pretty good deal too.
We are considering a trip there in Sept. We will be coming from California. We want to stay on Canadian side. What is the best airport to fly into and what hotel do you recommend?
I'm sure you'll have a great time! We found it easiest and cheapest to fly into Toronto. It's only about an hour away. From there you can take either via rail, go rail, or an Uber. As for hotels. The two with the best views of the falls are embassy suites and the Marriott. It's been a long time since I've stayed at the Marriott, but I remember it being really nice. We stayed at the embassy suites on this trip and did a video on it, it was nice but they also tried to upsell us to a more expensive room using less than ethical sales tactics. Just be aware that you might get upsold on check in. Do your research on the room before you go and stick to your decision.
Get some surfix bunk slides. The jet skis move like they are on ice. Also, if you need to lift the trailer, pull both skis back a bit to put more weight on the back of the trailer. You can lift the tongue with one hand.
Good tips!
@@professionalweekenders I Put the bunk slides on two weeks ago, and man what a crazy difference. my trailer doesn't fit in the garage, so I take both skis on and off the trailer and but them on dollys after every weekend. The Slides changed the game.
@@anthonyazzara4395 awesome, that's a good tip. I have a 2 + 1 garage. My trailer does not fit in the one side. I back it into the two side, and then use jack dollies to scoot it over to the one side
Thank you for your reply. There's no way we can come in the night before because of his work, but I pray, I have some hope to make it. I won't be able to relax until i'm at the cruise port and they're letting me on lol. This paranoia, and anxiety is not worth it.
Fingers crossed 🤞. Good luck!
We just booked and paid for a norwegian cruise to alaska. We'd let them pick our flights.. On the day of departure. I freaked out and was able to change my flight two a non stop Seven a m morning flight from saint louis to seattle. It calmed me a little bit, But I am still freaking out because so many things can happen. Our plane is scheduled to arrive at nine thirty a m.. I'm sure hoping we make it! My husband's work would not let him off another day. So, we could come in the day before. I'm praying we make it on time! Surely we're not the only people that have to fly in the morning of.
I think you're right, you are probably not the only person flying in the day of the cruise. But like you said, there's a lot that can happen. If possible best to try to get the day off work and fly in the day or evening before. Good luck! Fingers crossed no issues. Sounds like you're taking the early morning flight. Flights in the morning are the least likely to have issues. Weather tends to be calmer, and you don't run the risk of pilots or flight attendants timing out, or the domino effect from issues earlier in the day.
I've given up on NCL's flight program. The flights they stuck me on were insane, I cancelled the sir part of my cruise and booked my own flights. It's more money, but I don't have to fly in the cheapest seats. I got a great deal on Delta, and am now flying out in First Class, in 5 days. I also deleted the air part of my October cruise, and booked my own flight. 3-1/2 hours in a tiny seat, would not be fun.
At this point, I have paid in full and i'm praying to the good Lord to get me there in time. I'm at least grateful that I was able to cancel there. Air program that picked flights for me. I was able to do their new program called "Air Incentive program" Where I was able to get the very first flight out at 7 AM. And its nonstop. So much can happen still I know. I was literally making myself sick with worry, So I just have to let it go for now, just to have some peace. I told my husband we are never, Ever, Flying in the day of again, because I can't handle the anxiety of it. Norwegian booking the flights for me with this air incentive program. Saved me over two hundred dollars. So in the future I could still book through them and come in the day before through this program and save several hundred dollars possibly. We will see. I've never been on norwegian. I am staying on the Sun ship, So we may never sale norwegian again if we don't like it. The only other crews i've done is carnival. There's a lot of bad reviews, But when I went, the food was great lol
Sorry for all the ridiculous typos, but I speak my reply lol
@@jenkayla2492 in my experience, even when they offer the " free " airfare, you can still get a better deal booking it yourself. The promotion they run is usually buy one get one free, but the cost of one is more than the price of two on a different airline. By booking yourself, you're in complete control and you get exactly what you want.
Another great video! This video reinforced my long-standing opinion of not going to zoos while on vacation time. I have an annual pass to my local zoo, but animals all look exactly the same, no matter where you go. I spend time looking at things unique to where I visit. I dont even walk thru the animal area at Animal Kingdom, unless we have done all the attractions we want to do.
Thanks, I get your point. I (Lewis) feel very similar. However I also see that different zoos do things a little different and it can be interesting to see that, like the Range Rover imbedded in the glass. Also each zoo may some different types of animals, like in Thailand when we got to see the pandas. Lastly, Christine loves seeing all animals so much that she is excited to go to any zoo. So while we don't travel just to see a zoo or aquarium, we do usually stop once we've seen all the unique things a new city has to offer.
First time seeing your channel but I could immediately tell you were American by the way you pronounced Via Rail. lol
Lol, your not wrong. 😜
You never addressed the blocks that the bolt goes into, they can fall out very easily when tipping the battery for removal and reinstallation. You always want the block and bolt attached, additionally the block floats so my battery has a spacer and you didn’t mention anything about that either.
Thanks for the extra tips
Thank you fro being a travel scout.
We love to travel!
Can you tell me from the point you arrived at the embarkation process, which you said was 130p, when did you actually get into the room?
The rooms were not ready until about 3:30 or 4 pm. But you can visit the buffet or gab a drink in a lounge while you wait 😃
Thanks for this! Changed mine out today and it went pretty smooth. The only advice I could give is if you have high miles or a lot of corrosion/dirt build up, you might want to have a wheel speed sensor on hand. Mine was fused in and I couldn't get it out without breaking it off, not a big deal though, easy fix. Also, if you don't have help with the parking brake hardware, I found that taking two zip ties and compressing the little spring allows you to get all the components together (although still tricky) and once you have one side in place, cut the zip ties and it will expand and hold. And test fit the two bolts before drilling out the holes, Doorman might have fixed it, mine seemed like there was extra room after drilling them out, should have test fit it first but no loss by drilling them.
Great tips! Thank you for sharing your experience!
