Location: New England Smell the crisp morning air, and see Mother Nature’s abundant beauty in the colorful fall leaves of New England and Canada while on a fabulous 9-day cruise aboard the Royal Caribbean’s ship Liberty of the Seas. The dogwood, red oak and maples turn red and burgundy; hickory, birch and elm change to gold and yellow; witch hazel and mountain maples are reddish-orange, and the white oak and sumac are purple. As autumn leaves grace the hillsides and mountaintops, you have a veritable painted scenery that is unmatched anywhere else in the world! Once on board, the ship will provide activities, entertainment and incredible food. There will also be fun and interactive HOP socials during the days at sea. The ship offers a wide array of shore excursions in each port-of-call to fit your lifestyle. Excursions are the best way to enjoy the magnificent sights and culture at each port and take in the warmth of the native people. Cruise Route Booking your cabin early – Recall dates: Escapees can only hold the group space for a limited time before the cruise line recalls our unassigned cabins. After the recall date, Escapees may not be able to secure a cabin; and if we do, it probably will not be at the rates listed now. This fall foliage cruise will sell out quickly, so it’s critical that you book early, even though the cruise is scheduled for next year! Please put a payment down to ensure your cabin is booked at this price.

It's ok, not to be ok, make sure you practice mental self care. RV Living is not all rainbows and sunshine, we have bad days just like everyone else. We discuss how it's hard work to be happy, sometimes you need to take a day for yourself and get yourself to a good head space. RV Living seems to be all fun and games from the outside looking in, but this is still daily life. We still have stressors just like you would in a traditional lifestyle. We go out for a BBQ lunch at Goody Coles Smokehouse in New Hampshire, which puts a smile on Mel's face. Afterwards we decided spending some time relaxing at the lake would be a good idea, so we went kayaking. Well we failed to check the weather and didn't realize a big storm was rolling in. Within 5 minutes of getting out on the water it starts to rain a bit. We still take our time, then the rain really hits and we decide to high tail it back to the dock! ***Feel free to subscribe and hit that like button!*** https://www.youtube.com/c/adventureen...

We go kayaking at Pawtuckaway State Park, the entrance fee is only $5.00 per person at the gate, with excellent views, hikes and the lake there is so much to do. We bought our own kayaks, but they do have a marina where your can rent. Swimming, paddeling and cliff jumping made for a great day. After the great day on the lake, I make the one hour drive to Boston Logan International Airport to pick up Melissa. She flew back to California for a wedding and a bachlorette party roughly 12 days ago. We are very excited to see each other and she arrives with a mysterious bag. Stay tuned for new Vlogs, find out what she brought back from California. ***Feel free to subscribe and hit that like button!*** https://www.youtube.com/c/adventureen...

In this vlog we get our Science on, we head to DownEast institute in Jonesport Maine on Beal's island. Once we are there we get a great tour they teach us about soft shell clams, razor clams, lobsters, scallops and oysters. They do research and also have a hatchery where they keep the population up. There was so much to learn and we had an amazing time. Then we had to Ingersoll Point Preserve to do some hiking. It's an amazing trail that goes through very thick woods, on a cliff side and eventually down to the beach. We have a great time and we are getting excited for what we have planned next, make sure you tune in! ***Feel free to subscribe and hit that like button!***

Spending more time in Acadia National Park is amazing, we also go to Bar Harbor where we walk around the town and get some breakfast at Epi's restaurant. Then we head south to the southern most tip of Mt Desert Island where we go to the Bass Head lighthouse, also stopping to hike to some tide pools. Really hope you enjoy! Living in our RV gives us great opportunities.

We watch the Sunrise on Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National park, also hike the scariest hike we have ever done, Beehive Trail in Acadia National Park. We use our Go Pro Hero 7 Black to capture amazing footage of a super intense hike that might be too challenging for many! Have a look and see what RV living and travel is all about!

New England has always been a special place for me, New Hampshire, Maine and Boston. I have a lot of family in the area, in this Vlog we stay at another Boondockers welcome and take the bikes out in Portland Maine. + We discuss Toll prices,I make coffee (very exciting), we explore around our Boondockers welcome which is located in Yarmouth Maine. This season in New England is immensely wet year, for us its great, we are still trying to cool down from our time spend in the south. Feel free to subscribe and hit that like button!
