      When you visit countries like Jordan you realise that the US is just a baby in the wheel of time. What an incredible journey. Wondered what you've been up to because there haven't been any videos for a while but this more than makes up for it. Can't wait to see next week's visit to Petra. Thank you for sharing this amazing country filled with such ancient history. Be well.

      I just visited your site, would LOVE to join the Jordan tour, but it is too close for me to budget after planning spring & summer of full-time travel. I'll be keeping close attention to other future trips.

      Great video as always! It's wonderful to see such ancient artifacts and the amazing time you had. The culture is fascinating. You and whomever joins you on the group trip will have an epic time! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

      Great video and that food! I particularly loved the columns. We too have been to Pompei and it will be super cool to see these columns as well. The history is amazing and the Moses information was awesome. Can't wait for part 2!

      Wow! We had no idea of all the rich history in Jordan! Truly amazing! You covered so much and we learned a lot. This country was not on our places to visit list but after watching your video we are thinking twice. Awesome video as always, you two!! Thanks for sharing! 😍

      What a truly interesting place. I would have never even thought of this as a place I wanted to visit and now, here I am considering it. I cannot wait to watch the rest of your journey. For the first time, I am tempted to take a group trip. Still not ready to make the leap due to irrational fears but at least I am taking baby steps into thinking I could consider it. Someday. And you both are one of my favorite teams.

      Could have gone with these guys to Jordan. But it scared me a lot. I don't know why it just did. Maybe because if you ever got lost and you didn't know the language or how to even pronunciate it. It just scared me, but now that I watched everything and the other episode. I'm almost wishing I did sign up for it too late way. Lay ways at would have been a beautiful experience and maybe in the future. I will go with whom I might be with.❤😂😊
