Belize-Guatemala Traveling in Central America OVERLAND TRAVEL SAGA Ep.41

[@SuarezWillie]

We care about watching and following your trips. You inspire us to do the same. Very sad about the hard drive. Been there, know the feeling.

[@carbicetwo]

On the bright side, that mustache is outstanding!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Well, you are in for a treat because I think he rocks it for a while.

[@duncanrains6859]

You guys are incredible

[@CheekyMonkey888]

Idiocracy is more than a movie you guys have monk like patience

[@belizeguy]

My friends back in the US always ask me : "What do you do down there ?" I realize that it is exactly what you are doing that can be frustrating, but approached with a positive attitude (and sometimes a few extra dollars ) things like getting the phone card, or finding a stocked ATM can take time . Ever the adventure ! Another example, I need some Sweet Pickle Relish this week for a meal we love to cook and eat. Went yesterday to two places that normally have it , and they both are out . Finally found it today in a new place, but damn, the time and traffic we had to get through just for that seems unbalanced to some , but worth it to me . Different life and I / we love it !

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

OMG, I feel you on the pickle Relish. Just this last winter when we were in Baja again I could not find dill pickle relish to save my life. I finally found dill pickles and had to just chop them up. I had already invested in cans of tuna for tuna sandwiches and I love dill relish with tuna sandwiches. It seemed incredible that a gingo state like Baja didn't have any relish. Not even the big markets in Cabo??

[@fernandobarba9600]

Hi From Las Vegas , you guys are pretty awesome. Glad Jagger is felling better

[@anibalbrc2893]

You guys have amazing time in Guatemala

[@mrsmahern]

Guatemala looks so cool! Amie, you’re so pretty ! Matt, the stair dance was awesome !

[@OverlandWay]

Guys! We feel you about the HD! Praying that you were able to recover all the lost footage! Happy travels!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

UGH we did not, but we are finally through the footage that we had the holes form this. We lost some really cool stuff, but it feels good to be on this side of it now.

[@frankiealas1]

I enjoy your videos all the best.

[@SupaDupaaFlyy]

I know this is late and I havent watched the rest of your videos (enjoying them so far) hard drives can be saved if you take them to a repair shop that specializes in these kinds of things. Even water damaged hard drives can be saved nowadays.

[@evopwrmods]

So glad Jaeger is doing much better. Been there done that with hard rives dying, so sorry. I appreciate all your efforts and time and monies spent in sharing your adventure with me and all of us too. Thanks so so much. I dont watch or have TV so this KZbin and your channel is way way better than tv ever could BE. I just wanted you to know this.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Thank you. You can say nice things all you want here. We love hearing it, and sometimes we need the encouragement more than you know, so thank you.

[@MJorgy5]

This channel rocks it! Glad to see the technical gremlins didn't get the best of ya's. 🍻

[@vincepalaa]

Going through your vids now. Cool stuff! Much better video quality since you guys got the new camera! Even though this was probably nearly a year ago for you guys :) Either way, On to the next episode...

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Glad you're enjoying them Tony. I'm sure this won't surprise you, but we don't come from any kind of film background so we've been learning as we go and that includes camera gear. I'm about to start editing our Costa Rica footage and I'm excited because we got some more new gear there, so hopefully we'll see more improvement. Cheers. Enjoy the show!

[@innermusemystic]

Awesome vid!! Enjoy the experiences!

[@powercouplecritics]

Girl we’re watching we’re actually heading down to Honduras in about a week or so super excited and scared!!!!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Thanks for watching guys. I know we don't have any videos from Honduras out yet, but we had a great time while we were there. We did some beautiful hikes and got SCUBA certified! Be safe. have fun.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

always use back up drives. drives are so damn cheap. SSD is the only way to go....and they're becoming much more affordable.

[@claudiafodor5854]

Hey, we are leaving next month to a our adventure through central and South America. We will be taking our dog as well, besides what you described in this video related on how you crossed this border with a dog, did you had trouble in any other border with him? Any special documentation or hazards you experienced besides his health? Which basic gear do you recommend bringing for a dog on a long term travel? Your experience and input is very important for us. Thanks in advance

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Hi Claudia. It sounds like you have a very exciting trip coming up. Belize requires a special form in addition to a recent health certificate. We didn't get the form in advance like we were supposed to so we had to pay a fine, but we were still allowed to cross. Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIrap2puncuHeJI Panama will be strict about current health certificates as well and charges more than any other country to bring a dog in, but it can all be dealt with at the border as long as you have the rabies vaccine certificate. The rest of the borders in Central America are easy and all accept the health certificate from the USA even though it's technically too old. It's just an extra step to get the dog through each border. I would recommend keeping the dog on a flee/tick medication and a dewormer that includes hart worm. If he isn't on one, start now to make sure he doesn't have a bad reaction to the meds before you start your trip. Then try to keep him on the same meds throughout the trip to avoid any issues while your traveling. If you plan on taking any flights or ferries you may need a kennel for the dog. If it is a BIG dog, then you may find it very difficult to find a big enough kennel once on the road, so you may consider bringing one. We also really liked having a folding bowl that we kept under the car seat so we could easily give the dog water while on the road. amzn.to/2lmWf95 Hope this is helpful

Go pro 6, we lowered the quality of recordings. Otherwise you need a new computer to handle the 6 software for the 4K format.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Most of us travelers can't find good enough internet to watch 4k videos that often anyway :)

[@andyacosta1985]

My mother in law is from coban guatemala how u liked that city

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

It is a cute town with nice wild space near by, but it was raining hard when we were there, so we didn't get to see as much as we had planned.

[@erichughes9098]

😎🌮👍

[@Srn1213]

recovery is not hard .

[@rax7111]

They sure don't make tourism easy at the borders.

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

The orders aren't generally used much by tourist. The borders that do see tourist are usually a little better at handling them for visas, but then it's still rare for a tourist to have a vehicle with them so the TIP side of things is usually still confusing. When we start getting frustrated we try to remind ourselves that we aren't "normal" so why would the system be designed to work for us. It's the same thing when we were try to explain to the California DMV that we couldn't smog our vehicle because it wouldn't be back in the country for over a year. They just don't have a box to mark for that.

[@rax7111]

The Traveling Together Journal - quite right. You’re living it - respect.

[@motoprof3672]

Excellent stuff! Any push back from the locals because of the current US admin position/hostility?

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

No, from our experience, the folks that are aware of US politics are also aware that the populous of a country doesn't necessarily agree with its leader's foreign policies. We got a few uncomfortable questions during the election and shortly after, but no hostility at all. Only curiosity.

[@motoprof3672]

Good to know, thanks. We are planning our own trip across S. America and Africa in 2020!

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Awesome. Africa is at the top of our list. We are hoping to take off on another trip by 2020 and Africa might be it.

[@chernordiallo6190]

Do west African passport cross brothers to central America???????

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

I recommend looking at websites for each country you plan to visit.

[@chernordiallo6190]

I want to go Belize bro

[@chernordiallo6190]

@@TheTravelingTogetherJournal thank u

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Belize has pretty good websites and big tourism industry. you can contact them directly with visa questions.

[@chernordiallo6190]

Thank u

[@blueangel4274]

I like your videos but in this one i think you Been very negative and well is frustrating when things are a bit hard to get but i cant understand what happen with the Phone that no other tourist had , or at least in any video you hear them [Others] strugle with Cameras or Phones like you, , I travel to GUATEMALA wIth my smarthphone that i paid in Los Angeles before i Travel and never got any issue , but excuse my Ignorance i dont know if we are talking about the same thing, , i just hope you guys had next time a better Trip, and GUATEMALA is Beautyful and the attitude is a big chunk of reaction from the other part , you guys are a Beautyful Couple but i see the frustration in the guys face and maybe is a sweet Candy boy but looks Mad and in the Latin view a bit to Arrogant , , im sure hes not like that but his Beautyful face is not smiley and People in Guatemala works with the first approach of the visitor , if you smile and accept them , they are Grateful and try their best to help. if you are not smiley one and pesimistic , that will be the first step that you guys are closing the door , , and they feel you are closing the door on them , Always have to be careful about safety conditions but Smile , , a Beautyful Smile opens 1,000 Doors

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

Good advice 😁

[@davidfuller1061]

Very Bad Idea to live on a Sail Boat. I don't at all think you should do That *Because it will make me Very Sad & Jealous & Envious*

[@meghanbeaudry7840]

Are you guys driving through the tolls routes or not ??

[@TheTravelingTogetherJournal]

I don't think we did any toll roads in Guatemala. We used a few in Mexico, but mostly took the old side roads
