Addressing our reluctance to travel and using a trip to Alabama Gulf Shores to ease us back into international travel. Renting a beach front condo along the beautiful Gulf Coast of Alabama, being able to drive our car here has really helped both of us gain confidence to start more extensive traveling. How to Confront Your Travel Fears and Conquer them! Join us for a discussion.
We are spending the afternoon exploring the Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores Alabama.
The great travel experience of driving the Interstate highways and staying at hotels along the way has shown that safe travel is possible to us. Alabama has rekindled the travel bug, we have loved discovering the charm of Alabamians, historic sites and great food. Confronting travel fears has led us to see there are no real fears. We are being cautious and still proactively masking and hand washing.

You mentioned Dauphin Island. That is also a nice place to visit. Bellingraph Gardens is also a good place to visit. They probably have It decorated for Christmas.
Hi you two! We sure do enjoy watching your videos…the Gulf Shores are beautiful! We just recently retired and are looking forward to traveling soon! Our daughter and her family live near Pensacola and we were just down in Alabama very close to where you are for our granddaughters dance competition. One place she said you should really try to see is the U.S.S. Alabama Battleship Memorial Park. Pretty amazing she said! Make sure to stop in to Bucc-ees if you get the chance, fun place for gas, food, goodies and souvenirs! Happy Travels!
I hope you got that curry!
I haven't seen an advertising plane like that for years.
Enjoyed the video. Looks like a very nice place.
Thanks!
I am very impressed by you guys travel all the time, I am so scared to fly. My husband planed to take cruise vacation next month, we already paid for our trip, but i feel so stressful about it😂
I take 2 lbs if fresh shrimp, add beer to cover in a pot, add some McCormick Old Bay Seasonings to taste. Boil a few minutes til done
Madeira at Christmas would be lovely
We traveled to Portugal in May 2021 on a organized tour and truly enjoyed ourselves. With all the wonderful information you have shared we are returning to Portugal in late February for three weeks. We used your tips and will be enjoying our time in the Algarve.
Sounds like you are enjoying being out and about again. Wonderful. Enjoy, stay well, and stay safe ! 🤠🍓🍷🍷
Welcome to the South! Love your videos.
I really enjoyed your video. 🫶🏼 Thanks for Sharing! 👍🏼💕
Greetings from Albania. 🇦🇱
Thanks for these absolutely beautiful images from Alabama. Enjoy your stay, take care and stay safe. Thanks for your generosity of sharing your experiences be it in Alabama or elsewhere.
Glad you are enjoying the south! We are in our rv over on Florida’s ‘forgotten coast’. Carrabelle. It’s cold!! Love the south, just missing the warmth that normally occurs.
No snow here in St. Thomas.
We just got back from Portugal in October
we were surprised at the amount of tourists everywhere.
We started in Lisbon , travelled by train to Evora, then
up to Porto for our river cruise.
We did not see travellers wearing masks.
and yes, we both got covid !
I had brought along our rapid Covid test kit from home B.C. 🇨🇦
We have had all our Covid shots and booster shots, so,
we were not that sick, dry cough, chills for a few days.
we stayed in our cabin a few days until symptoms passed.
The cruise ship did ask for proof of vaccine, but Portugal is
treating Covid as a bad cold!
We had put off our paid for Portugal trip for 3 years,
that’s why we went.
This week we are taking our first international trip in 7 years…going to Aruba! I know what you mean about feeling apprehensive and not knowing what to expect. We'll be gone for 10 nights so hopefully the trip will be 'uneventful' and we can get our travel confidence back 🙂 Gulf Shores looks amazing, thanks for sharing!!
Oh come on Tina and Norm, don't you think a 25 mile drive to satisfy a hankering for Indian cuisine is worth the trip … even for takeout? Enjoy your time in Alabama.
Great video guys….love that boardwalk! You're living the dream…i think you have me sold on Orange Beach, Gulf Shores 😎🌞🌴🍹
guess its natural to be nervous about travel after all the lockdowns good to see you getting back out there
left a like👍Au👀fully watched
Happy to hear that you haven't ruled out portugal and the Azores, referred by many as the Atlantic Hawaii. They're all unique and unspoiled. We head back to Ontario in two weeks for Christmas. Stay safe Tina & Norm.
Hi Tina & Norm good to see you both again it looks lovely but it will be nice to go back to Portugal 👍😊have a safe time .
Regards Christopher Barker
My wife and I just recovered from Covid. It is still out there. I would Love to go to Portugal but I am more concerned about energy shortages in Europe. Portugal may not be as affected but you hear bits and pieces of bad news from Europe. I hope that you found your Curry fix.
Enjoy all your videos !! I think you would love Winter Garden, Florida , about 30 mins north of Disney . PM me if you want to travel south !! Enjoy your travels .
Wow what a great place to walk and enjoy the wonderful weather. I enjoy your updates and hope you stay safe and enjoy Alabama!
