Atlanta Georgia Travel VLOG 2018
Our Atlanta Georgia Travel VLOG from 2018 was mostly family related. We went there to help Amelia’s family deal with some serious medical issues. We also spent a few days in South Beach Miami on our way back to Cuenca Ecuador.
Cuenca Ecuador to Atlanta Georgia Travel VLOG
Our Return to the States from Cuenca Ecuador (Episode 36) (12/6/2018) - Most of Amelia's family lives in Atlanta, GA so we went back to help them out for a few weeks. We took a $12 buseta with Operazuaytur from Cuenca through Cajas to Guayaquil the day before our flight and stayed one night in the Courtyard that's close to the airport. Our flight left Guayaquil for Miami at 6:40 AM so we wanted to be nearby.
Amelia was a regional sales rep in her previous life so she logged a lot of points with Marriott by staying at Courtyards. This one in Guayaquil was the nicest Courtyard either of us has ever seen. Plus, we were able to use Amelia's points so it didn't cost us anything....
Hiking in Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park Marietta GA (Episode 37) (12/8/2018) - When we're with Amelia's family in Atlanta, hiking in Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park is our favorite cardio activity. The scenery is breathtaking and the Civil War history is interesting, but it's sad to think how many Americans died on this mountain fighting over the right to own another human being.
Some canons still remain, along with the trenches and embankments dug out by soldiers on both sides. It may be beautiful now and full of wildlife, it must have been hell on earth back in 1865....
Nature’s Corner Market in Marietta GA + Kid-Friendly Tofu Fingers (Episode 38) (12/11/2018) - While visiting Amelia's family in Marietta GA, we often go to Nature's Corner Market for our vegan supplies and B12 supplements. They also sell delicious vegan desserts and coffee with non-dairy milk.
Amelia's niece asked us for some kid-friendly vegan recipes, so we decided to make Tofu Fingers. They were super easy to make and tasted delicious. You can find the recipe on our sister website, LottaVeg.com....
Aveda True Salon Marietta – Amelia’s New Haircut (Episode 39) (12/13/2018) - Amelia has a new hairdo from Aveda True Salon Marietta! After months of pestering, I finally convinced her to let her hair go natural. She may look like she's in her 30's, but she's actually 50 and her hair is mostly gray. I don't like the idea of her putting chemicals on her head every month, so I'm very happy she has decided to let the gray grow out. Plus I LOVE her hair when it's short and curly!
Planta South Beach Dinner in Miami FL (Episode 40) (12/15/2018) - Our dinner at Planta South Beach in Miami was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! We ordered the chef's sampler that came with NINE courses, including a delicious dessert!
South Beach Miami Day On The Beach + Lunch at Plant Theory & Dinner at Full Bloom (Episode 41) (12/18/2018) - We spent a day in South Beach Miami on our way back to Cuenca Ecuador. In this video, we spent a lazy day on the beach, and had a delicious lunch at Plant Theory and a decadent dinner at Full Bloom. On the first night when we arrived in South Beach from Atlanta, we ate at Planta South Beach and it was amazing! 
South Beach Miami Art Deco + Noe Sushi Quito Airport (Episode 42) (12/19/2018) - Walking around South Beach Miami, it almost feels like you're in a comic book world. The Art Deco style looks a lot like Gotham City. It was even more beautiful at night, but we weren't there long enough to get any good night footage. Our brief video montage really doesn't do justice to the beautiful architecture.
We also cover the vegan food options in the Miami and Quito airports....
Return to Cuenca Ecuador + Tour of Quito Airport Suites Hotel + Quito & Cuenca Airports (Episode 43) (12/20/2018) - On our return to Cuenca Ecuador from Atlanta, we stopped in South Beach Miami for a day before heading to Quito. Our plane arrived in Quito very late at night and our flight to Cuenca left at 9:30am the next morning so we stayed in the Quito Airport Suites that was about a 5 minute cab ride from the airport....
