What's up, guys?
So today I'm going to start prepping the boat
because we might leave on Wednesday, today is Sunday.
And so what I did is
took out our extra freezer, put everything in one freezer.
So I disconnected that one. I'm going to clean it, leave it dry.
Gonna clean out the bathroom and yeah, keep cleaning
because we want to leave the boat nice and spotless.
So when we come back, everything's clean, organized and nice.
We are single parents,
but we're not even parents.
Hakuna Matata. It means no worries
So today's mission is: I'm going to the hardware store to buy
the kennel for the dogs,
and that's it. We're going to take the dogs for a walk first.
Then Andrea is going to drop me off.
And then yea, we're going to go get the kennel and start training the dogs.
It's going to be one intense training
week for the dogs before we ship them off
we're here at the hardware store, I just purchased two kennels. They're huge.
So I asked them to see if they can deliver the kennels
and they can deliver the kennels to the marina.
So, that's perfect.
They are really, really expensive.
780ec ¤280 per kennel.
So yeah, they're going to deliver them today. And we're good.
We're getting some local juice.
And any banana bread, No, just the juice
Thank you. Okay. Thank you. just some juice.
I just got back from
the hardware store.
I did a quick stop at the grocery store, got some bread,
some little snacks, and I'm just waiting for Andrea to pick me up.
I don't know if I said this before,
but the kennels are gonna get delivered by the hardware store.
They didn't charge any any money to do the delivery.
And it's good because I mean, those kennels are big.
They might get them delivered today or tomorrow.
Today is Wednesday or Thursday, Friday, the veterinarian is coming to do
the health certificate on the dogs so they can travel. And yeah.
We may ship them off on Wednesday
next week, so we got the crates for these two giant dogs.
We were giving the dogs away
so now we're going to start an intense crate training.
This guy has never been in a crate before.
He doesn't care about it because he doesn't know it's for him, right?
And the one time that she was in a crate, she opened all of her mouth
trying to open it and ripped all of her gums, trying to open the thing.
So we don't know where we're going to put them because they're huge. Huge.
So we need to train them, train them first,
because I've never been in a crate before.
I think they're going to be comfortable. so we wouldn't use anything we we can't use.
So today Andrea is going to slip in the crate.
I think they're going to be just fine.
I think they'll be fitting here. If I did, I think they'd be fine.
I feel like it sucks to be a dog, man. It really does.
Like you're just here locked
I'm trying to figure out how Echo can get out
But she's like a escape artist. We'll puts zipties through all the holes and everything.
Yeah, we have to put zip ties in all the cortners
so we just put the crate inside.
You could see a size is huge.
Ozzy loves his bed,
so once he saw the bed, it's like, Oh yeah, I'm going, I'm going in.
Yeah. So we are finally ready to travel. Ha.
And we are ready to leave, go back home
take a break and recharge.. Renew
what are we doing today?
So today we are going to rent a car in the airport
and we're going to come back.
We're going to pick up these big crates
and then we're gonna go drop them off at the cargo
and then we're going to come back for the dogs and take the dogs
because they have to weight the crate with the dog inside
and the dogs have the flight tomorrow.
They have dogs were supposed to leave
today and we were going to take the next flight to Miami,
but we couldn't because they canceled the flight of the dogs
so we had to postpone ours and ours.
The next flight doesn't leave until Saturday.
So really like traveling with dogs, it's such a big.
It's a little bit more complicated, a lot more complicated.
Like we would have just left the boat a long time ago, somewhere
in another island, just taking a flight just for us to, you know, we could just
leave the boat anywhere in a marina and just take a flight back to Miami. But
because of the dogs makes it so much harder.
And that's one of the reasons why it's so hard for us to like,
see our friends, your family, if they don't come to visit
us, it's pretty much, you know, it's impossible for us to go.
Plus, not to mention the costs like for us to fly the dogs to Miami,
it's costing us over ¤1,000.
So obviously we're doing it now because we're going to we plan
on staying in Florida for like a couple of months
and like spending Christmas and all that good stuff with our families.
But, you know, it's not really something worth doing.
If we were just going to fly for a week like that makes it
hard, almost impossible.
I was very, very excited to leave today.
And then yesterday, a last minute, I called just to make sure
that the dogs were flying in the morning because we were flying in the afternoon
and then the guy was like, No, they changed the flight to Thursday, so
we had to change our flight to Saturday, which is no bueno. No, no.
I was already excited.
We barely have any food in the boat
since you guys know our generator is having issues.
So I mean, I don't like to drain the batteries more than 20%, so
we barely make water.
We can't turn on the AC and we're just like, Oh, I mean,
we like sleeping with the AC on during the summer months.
It gets pretty hot
And when it rains at night, I think the AC is a must.
So, yeah, we have been living without air conditioner
for the past week, so that's why I wanted to leave so bad.
I found a guy in California that can fix the thing for the generator.
Yup. We'll see what happens.
So we rented the car and guess who is the chosen driver of the day.
The driver of the day is Andrea. why am I the driver?
Because my driver's license expired so I can't drive.
So one more to do when we get back to the US. Yes.
So now we picked up the dogs
and we are on our way to the airport.
It is extremely hot here in Grenada.
Luckily, since they are flying by cargo.
They won't have.
They'll be having AC and the flight without light,
the entire flight, they're going to have air conditioning.
And the reason why they're flying through cargo
is because the planes that come here to the island are very small
and they don't allow large dogs like these ones, which are like
the largest dogs that you can have .
We went to the airport, we got the dogs weighted
we paid ¤1400 for for the dogs. Yeah.
And now we came and we ordered some pizza
and we're going to eat it in the car just because we have air conditioning here
and we're going to wait the entire afternoon in their car.
When was the last time you saw your parents?
I don't know, almost a year ago, you, your brother,
your big brother, when was the last time you saw him? Like two years ago
and you're going to be seeing him? I'm going to see my big brother.
Are you excited?
Very excited
My sister, I also haven't seen her in a long time.
So she's getting married, so it's exciting to go back and spend
a lot of family time and we're going to take you guys.
To Colombia with so this is very exciting.
Very happy to go back to Colombia, we haven't been back in two and a half years,
which is super exciting because that's where we were born.
That's our home country. That's our roots, our culture,
and we can't wait to show you guys all about it.
So make sure you subscribe and you hit the notification bell
so you can be notified when we upload a new video.
I think this is good.
This is only positive because this is a well needed break,
though we need, you know, we had not taken a break in two years
and we have been living on the boat, so it's important to be able to get off.
It doesn't matter that we live a life that looks like and is like a vacation.
You need a vacation from whatever lifestyle
that you live, from your vacation.
You need a vacation.
from your vacation. Exactly. Well, said, my friend.
And that's what we're doing. So we're going to travel.
We're going to be with family.
We're going to be partying with our friends.
We're going to go dancing. I'm so excited to dance again.
Guys, so we are here eating some pizza.
I'm almost done? And you could see a dog's.
What's of people?
So we are walking dogs. 6:00 a.m..
Yeah, we're walking dogs and we are about to go to the airport
to drop them off.
Their flight arrives at 9:00 a.m.
and they'll be here for an hour until they load everything
And. It's the first time that they're going somewhere by themselves without us.
So very nerve wracking for our kids, feels like they're all grown up
OK, so after waiting here at the
cargo area for two hours,
the dogs are finally leaving, so we are packing them up.
We're going to put them in the crates and they're ready to go.
There you go. That keeps them
that's going to keep them busy for the next couple of hours.
How does it feel? Yes, it feels good.
We are single parents.
We're not even parents.
We're no longer parents responsible
for other lives.
Now it's just us, so we get to enjoy.
We don't have to walk them in the morning, we don't have to feed them.
But we're going to miss most of them, we'll see them in two days?
Well, at least that's what we hope. Maybe in six.
I'm going to see them in two days, Andrea is going to go to Miami next Wednesday.
We'll see you guys later.
