Rained Out in Puerto Rico | San Felipe del Morro
We got to travel to Puerto Rico and while we were there we wanted to check out El Castillo San Felipe del Morro, or the Puerto Rico fort. Watch us getting rained out in Puerto Rico. Seriously, this storm came out of NOWHERE. We had to head for shelter and wait it out with all the locals.
Traveling internationally gives us all sorts of incredible travel adventures, which we like to call, Traventures!
ABOUT US:
We are the Taylors and we LOVE to travel. Even though we have 3 kids and it is hard to travel with kids, we do it anyways because nothing can replace the amazing experiences we get to have together as a family!
Traveling with kids is something we have a lot of practice with. Our first child flew on 23 flights before she was 6 months old. On the 23rd flight, someone asked us if this was our infant's first flight. Every time we go on a trip, our kids' favorite part is usually the hotel pool, but we still do it anyways.
We have gotten to visit Italy, China, Puerto Rico, Hong Kong, Macau, Mexico, Switzerland, St. Lucia, Barbados, St. Kitts, St. Maarten, Antigua, Taiwan, Singapore internationally and sixteen states in the United States including Alaska. We hope to visit MANY, MANY more places.

Hi everyone, here's our final vlog, USA vlog number 7.
We are on vacation in America. We are visiting Washington, Oregon, Nevada and California. And I thought that it would be cool to film some parts of our trip. In this vlog you'll see Joshua Tree and Palm Springs, were we've been before but liked so much that we went back.
We also decided to go back to Las Vegas, just for fun.
We spent our last week at the beach in San Clemente and the last days in Manhatten Beach.
We had a wonderful holiday. One we will always remember.
Enjoy watching!

Exciting Downtown and Trails of Austin
I head to Austin, TX to visit a couple of friends for the long weekend! For the first day, I check out the Austin 360 Bridge with its overlook of the area including Lake Austin and downtown Austin off in the distance. After that, I go on a hike to Sculpture Falls located in the Barton Creek Greenbelt. After a nice (but hot) hike, I head into downtown Austin where I visit the Texas State Capitol, the largest state capitol in the United States as well as get to check out the cool bungalow-converted restaurants and bars along Rainey St. After getting dinner (covered in a separate Travel Delights video), I go for a walk around downtown Austin including 6th Street and the Willie Nelson statue. To finish off the day, I head over to the Congress Ave bridge to see a very large number of bats (the most I have ever seen).
NOTE: The bats happen to come out earlier than when I saw them (even just before sunset), but the other side of the bridge was completely packed.
If you would like to watch a particular section of the video, you may use these shortcuts:
00:16 - Breakfast at Torchy's Tacos

Driving an RV to Mexico
for more videos
Thousands of snowbirds from the United States and Canada are packing up and getting ready to head to Mexico for the winter. Many can't wait to get on the road again, especially those driving motor homes to Puerto Vallarta. A good number have been making the trek for years and years.
We stick to the highways and with our rigs we have to, says Richard Chenier from Quebec, And we just roll along. His wife Mado Babin says she enjoys the road because they travel with good friends, take their time and she sites having a good driver as part of the experience.
Almost everyone in an RV park just outside of downtown Puerto Vallarta is from Canada so they cross two international borders. Richard says it's pretty standard entering the United States from Canada and usually takes a very short time.
There are 42 places where you can cross the almost 2000 mile border between the US and Mexico. This year travelers were thinking ahead because of all the media hype. Of course we heard on the news everything about it, just like everybody else, it was a concern to us but we decided to contact friends that we would meet at the border and cross as a big group, says Richard, We thought it would be safer that way and we decided that we were going to come down anyway.
We spent about a week in Pharr, Texas close to the border, says Richard, We formed a line and we crossed the border. There was ten of us, and actually that was the smoothest border crossing ever. I have been down here five years in a row, and it was my easiest, I guess they were waiting for us, but there was nothing wrong, usually there are a lot of check points, and stuff like that from either the police or military, but we just had one spot where they checked us.
I've been coming down here for 12 years and we've never had an incident on the highway, says Dirk Miller of Kentucky, And crossing the border there was no difficulties and this year was just as easy as any other year and the only thing I noticed this year, closer to the border, within a 100 miles, was a lot of Federales, but that's just different this year, I noticed there was less military in the interior of Mexico this year, too, but everything else was the same.
According to these experts, driving through Mexico is a breeze and the locals are very friendly.
It's great as far as I'm concerned, says Richard, The roads are 80 percent A1, and last year we had an experience, if you break down on the toll highways, they have what they call the Green Angels, and geez they are right there and they take you anywhere you have to get fixed, and it's usually at ridiculously low prices, too, it's really great.
I've had breakdowns with my coach in Mexico and all the Mexican people would come out to help me with whatever it was, says Dirk, Whether it was a fire or a blown tire, or had any kind of a problem, they would practically come out in great numbers to help us.
I was near Patzcuaro and I made a wrong turn one time with my motor home and my car got hung up on a curb, says Dirk, And about 12 guys came out of this village and lifted my car up on to the curb for me so I could get it unhitched so I could get it around the corner. And then I didn't know where the auto pista (highway) was and so I asked a fella to show me the auto pista and all of a sudden he showed up on a bicycle with his daughter on the cross bar and he peddled up over hills for about three kilometers to show me where the auto pista was and I was kinda going slowly behind him and he kept waving for me to hurry up because he wanted to go faster, but that was a good experience and it was most helpful. We gave him some candy and some money and everybody was happy.
These RV snowbirds say they would not miss a season in Puerto Vallarta and hope others do not curtail their plans for a winter in paradise.
