Keep up the inspirational work. We started traveling and documenting our travels locally when my mom got put in assisting living. This inspired us to get out and see the world and video it not only for family videos, but she can live vicariously through us. Again, thanks for sharing your videos and inspiring us! Safe travels

Something to be said about off season camping. We spent Thanksgiving at a Campground in Berlyn MD. We were on the shore side of the place to ourselves. I cooked a turkey breast in the air frier and sourcrout in a crock pot. As chief Engineer, I had to do some power management and put the hot water heater on gas. Its way too cold to go swimming where we are. Have fun in the Keys.

When I went to dive school in the Caribbean 30 years ago to earn my PADI dive card, I was taught how to clear your ear(s) and it works for me every time. If your right ear is plugged, you want to tilt your head left as far as you can to stretch out the Eustachian tube and plug your nose with your fingers and GENTLY blow and that will unplug your ear. Hope this helps you. Rob

Can you cover the process/steps that you took to RETURN the original mattress to RV MATTRESS? Our concerns on buying on-line / sight unseen...is the dreaded Return Process. We can't imagine how you got that original mattress rolled up, out of the RV and mailed back to RV Mattress. Also...how much was return shipping?

Nice campground but the limit on pets is where we can't accommodate! We have 4 dogs and we often can't go due to that. We had them when we started this lifestyle and their family! Any suggestions for campgrounds in FL with 4 dogs? Lol

@Peter-nh5hv Жыл бұрын

The ear that is plugged with water, tilt that ear down towards the ground. With a open hand palm tap the side of your head until that ear water blockage pops open. As far a the cat scratching the couch, put a soft rubber floor mat on the floor in the front , center , and rear of camper. When your cat starts to knead the rubber mat, give praise to what the cat is doing. Don't scream , never scream/yell at the cat on the couch ,it can do damage. Just go over and pick it up, cuttle it and get it purring , then take it the rubber mat and place it there gently. Cats have to knead, they can't help it, it's just the way it is. I hope this helps.

If your cat is continuing to scratch furniture the scratcher you have may not be the right angle, or style for the cat. Some cats like to scratch vertically, some angles, and some more flat. Also, you might be able to put some carpet on a wall section someplace that she can climb, and scratch and it might help. Maybe have it go up to a shelf with a bed on it. Or make the posts of the kid's beds scratching posts for her that she can climb and scratch on. I have no suggestions for unclogging your ears, mine have been clogged for years from allergies.
