We Quit, Sold Everything and Moved Back to Jamaica to Retire
Embracing Early Retirement...Slowly But Surely!
After some reflections on my new retirement schedule, it's time for some peanut butter and honey breakfast with Mahrez. Then, the drone takes flight and shows off the beautiful morning sunrise, and Andre's over briefly to tell a story. The papayas begin finding their new homes, and patience is found as we wait for everyone to be ready to go to Ocho Rios Beach. We finally make it to the beach and enjoy an afternoon of food, inflatables, and fun. Mahrez enjoys a stroll along with beach with his grandad, and even Sonia decides to get in on the fun. We make it back home in one piece, and quickly get dinner together before puppies say it's time for bed. Richness is Life.

Hi 👋🏾 family, Tyler, thank for answering my question that I was thinking " were is Andre?" This youth is ok in my book. Nice to see you are embracing patience,and leisure time. One of the reason why I support this channel is Tyler and Sonia allowed other children to joined in and enjoy some of the family's activities, I spotted a new male face when they're giving their thanks to the subscribers. I could be wrong. Puppies under manners stay on that mat😅🤙🏾
❤❤❤❤❤
Have a great time family, I'm loving it. I'm here in the cold😊😊
Will do our best!!! Stay warm!🥰🤙
Sonia got her groove back lol keep on doing what you are doing Tyler.
@@faithchung8082 slowly but surely…😎🤙
Lovely day relaxing
Excellent video! Cool special effects, drone shots and music. Also, what a fantastic beach day! Always a pleasure to watch you all 🥰
Appreciate you enjoyed!🥰🤙
Omg the view is over the country is beautiful
Agreed and very enjoyable to see!!
Tyler that view beautiful with you in the water 💧
Was a fun day for sure. =)
Happy Sunday Tyler and Sonia and the boys 👦
Happy Sunday! =)
Tyler, you should consider writing a book with all these WONDERFUL reflections and poetry 👍💝. Tyler, was Maurice running behind the van while you were driving? If so, that is VERY DANGEROUS!! BTW, this was a WONDERFUL vlog. I really enjoyed it.
@@julietlewis9987 keeping notes…😎🤙
Andre made me chuckle yet again, he definitely has a way with words and a sense of humor for a young boy 😂😂😂

I know I saw this channel some time ago, great seeing it again.. travelling opens the world to everyone.
Welcome back, been an interesting adventure so far, and we’ll see what we can come up with this year.😎🤙
Thanks so much family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome! =)
Hi Tyler, saw Sonia talking about what's on your skin. You have to be careful of too much sun. While it gives a lots of Vitamin D, too much exposure may result in other things for Caucasians. Even though Jamaicans were kissed by the sun 🌞, we Afro-Americans need to be careful of overexposure.
Agreed! I stocked up on my SPF 50 while in DR, and Javere brought me plenty of long sleeve spf shirts in his last trip! =)
Sonia is amazing! Hardworking Jamaican woman. The family is blessed to have her.
An thks again guys for series family vlog, always looking forward to watch 🤔😳

For sure
This makes me emotional because I never had the opportunity to enjoy my childhood in Jamaica. I didn’t have those precious moments. 💟
Hope they can appreciate it one day…🥰🤙
Those boys are so lucky to have you and Sonia in their lives. This is an example of what love can do.
Definitely an adventure😎🤙
Hi guys, viewing from Manchester...whatever you do today, do it with joy❤

@@welcome8791 Trying to convince Sonia still… but before the end of the year it’s a must!
@fireandirie definitely so👌🏾
Tyler you must write a poetry book. Your poems have real meaning. From UK
@@mandyjoy2255 We’re saving some room in the google drive…
Good morning happy Sunday
@@PhileciaAngus morning!! Happy Sunday indeed🥰🤙
They ask all foreigners from what I've seen. I usually buy them food cos it cant be nice to be hungry😩
Hi Tyler, I would say the same thing. Even here in Canada I say I don't carry cash when someone begs. Same thing happens to my husband when we go to Jamaica on vacation, he's also same colour as you.
Comes with the territory I suppose, I’m not offending by anyone asking, just more working on my own ability to bluntly but politely not making excuses and just saying no. Wow, Canada too🥰🤙
That same thing happen to my husband they ask for cigarettes 🚬🚬🚬 when he tell them he doesn't have any they dont even move the stand. Not until i say something then they understand, 🇦🇺🇯🇲
Right?! They stand there, so true! At this point I make a game out of it and embrace the awkwardness of just us standing and staring at each other… as I tell the boys…no means no🤣
This was such a lovely video I enjoyed every minute of it kerp up the good work 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Appreciate the continued support. Many thanks! Enjoy your Sunday 🥰🤙
How is mi deh ya disrespectful? He’s just saying I’m here. Disrespect is if he didn’t answer or ask why to Tyler. Low him
@@arletteelliott2240 yea, didn’t take offense to it as I understood what he was saying. All good.😎🤙

Hi Tyler and Sonia also Andre's and the boys and Morris, Morris is afraid of the dogs 😊 Tyler You're a good person God bless you and Sonia for all your doing for the family. Tyler i enjoy the video alot i love what you're doing and i love the way you start the video
Been a good outlet we’ll see what comes of it😎🤙
Tyler, don't feel bad, maybe she's a decoy and her accomplice is outside. You did the right thing.
Sonia, this was so much fun to see how happy you were there. We love you guys
Where does the time go!🤣
That woman came in and scanned the room. She knew the other persons would not give her any money. But maybe you would. Don't feel bad. I have had similar encounters in NYC and in Jamaica. I sometimes wonder if there's a $$$ sign on my forehead. I have had so many encounters in Ja that I decided I would take matters in my own hands. Once in Runaway Bay and in Port Maria, while I was at the cashier, a young man passed by with 2 items and told the cashier to put it on my bill. She didn't stop him or ask me anything she kept checking. In the end, I asked her, "How many items did you check?" I didn't care about the long line. I had her recheck the goods because I wasn't going to pay for those items. Sure enough, she did add the 2 items the man had walked out with. There are 2 bad words that are really good words to use in Jamaica..Raaassss Claaattee. Everybody understand them very well. These words kinda put us on the same plane. They can be used to ward off any doubt one may have about my softness or toughness. On the other hand, I have learned how to size up a person who is genuinely in need of help or maybe hungry. Here, I will not hesitate to buy food if I can. I don't give the money,I let the person order, and then I pay. I once stopped at the market in Oracabessa and asked about the price of pumpkin and pineapple. The vendor just doubled the price. I was walking away when she called me back saying that she wanted the sale, so she'll give it to me for less. I said, "No, I can't do that,I would be robbing you," I know there are some people who may have fallen on hard times, but for the most part, people are overdoing it. They just seem to think that anyone who looks like he/she is coming from a foreign country has a lot of money to share with them, It is such a turn off.
lol, I remember those days with the kids
🤣
Tyler don't feel bad i live in Canada people beg all the time i say no all the time
Sounds good, just got to be comfortable not lying about it and just saying a simple no.😎🤙
Tyler please do not fedl badly for not condoning the begging that is at an epidemic proportions in Jamaica. Ambulance: wa wa wa wA which is not only embarrassing but down right unacceptable for our Jamaican society. It seems as if they begs in their sleep as the words just comes out automatically as if they are entitled for others monies. This is Not a good look as it brings donwn the charm of Jamaica in a negative way. My daughter's first trip to Jamaica with her friends and their impressions were " gosh, they love to beg" Do not feel bad for not giving when they asks, and while I do say that, It does not mean you cannot give to a person if you see that they might be in need, I do, and do so gladly and wished there is more that I could do however, but I do not encouraged the gifting to those who have lost their pride and choose to beg. NO WAY! Big up Wifee and the children❤❤❤❤❤
@@trishnewman910 Agreed…just need to be more comfortable being a simple firm no with no excuses!😎🤙
Good evening Tyler and Sonia and the boys also Andre's and Morris ❤❤❤the puppies are getting big it's nice to see the boys working on their bikes, I thank you Tyler and Sonia for doing a wonderful job with the family ❤❤
Evening Kay and thanks and enjoy the weekend 😎🤙
