How To Bring Your Dog to Hawaii in 2025 | Process, Costs, and Tips To Avoid Animal Quarantine
มุมมอง 12619 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Thinking about bringing your dog to Hawaii? Here are the steps you need to follow and the expected costs. We quit our jobs to start a mini-retirement and travel full-time with our dog Bailey. We spent a full month in Hawaii and it was Bailey's first time visiting Oahu! Since Hawaii is rabies-free, a specific process needs to be followed to bring your dog to the islands. Let us know if you have ...

U are good at dancing 💃
Thank you! Just having fun hehe
All this places are so awesome 🤩
They really are! We loved these spots 🥰
How exciting that you’re moving back into the van!
We’re so happy to be back in the van!!
ayy more vlogs , lets goo
Daily vlogs from Mexico coming soon! 🇲🇽
That's the dream 🎉
My dudes like "not again🙄🙂!!"
Me watching this before I walk into work bitter because I fucked off in my twenties and now I'm paying for it but having to work a job that I hate until I die
It looks so cozy ❤
you do you girl!!
First
Great choice! I love my Wildpeaks
Hey guys, love this shower! How much clearance do you actually have on the toilet door? I don't want to do a composting toilet, the laveo dry flush is 18" tall. I know the cuddy isnt as tall.
We ended up with about a 1/4” all around the cuddy through the access door. It’s a very tight fit. You might be able to upsize everything to work with the Laveo. The drawer slides and drawer box will add some height as well.
Hope you guys enjoyed your Christmas holidays
We sure did! Happy holidays!
Loving that you guys are posting more often. Aaron is just super effective in articulating your van build. S-tier representation of Asian masculinity 💪🏽💪🏽
Thank you so much! We appreciate the kind words
I miss it all 💕💕💕 ur video just brought it all back again 💕 Thank you for sharing 😊
Jesus is king
wow!!
Love your content
Thank you! 😊
@@itstimetocrunchwelcome keep up the good
Nice work, install looks very clean and neat. I like the combination of using the havelock and the thinsulate. I’ve been wondering how to get everything as sealed as possible and your technique is what I’ll be borrowing I think. Thanks!
Awesome! Glad to help!
have you tried zevia soda ? they bussin
I haven’t yet, but will grab some on our next grocery run 😊

Yum!!!
funfact the song is about taylor swift As Taylor sings about her past lovers and this is him doing the same thing

Such a great time!
🎉🎉🎉
What is the length of the 8mm bolts
I believe they’re 1.25” or 1.5” M8
Slaying!
U nailed it
One of my fav vans-ya’ll inspired a lot of my build!! I just finished my van and now doing touch ups, couple questions- how did ya’ll attach the curtain rod? What was ya’lls process for painting? I feel like my paint job on all of my walls and cabinets looks so bad and not smooth and I even have some parts of the wood that are peeling and not sure how to cover it all up with paint. I have some gaps in the walls as well and areas that may need siding-do ya’ll have any tips on that? Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much, we’re glad our build series has helped and inspired you!😊 The curtain rod we piloted and screwed it upwards into the rear metal framing member. For painting, we did one coat of primer then 2 or 3 coats of paint with light sanding in between coats. For cabinets, we used a foam roller. We kinda had to move fast since it was hot out. Ideally you want to put the next roller of paint down before the previous one dries or else you can get unevenness and slightly different gloss/finish. Try to avoid going over an area again until everything’s dry! For gaps we used wood filler or an elastomeric compound. Use elastomeric when you think a joint or gap will move in a way where it will crack since it is flexible!
@ Thank you so much this is so helpful!!!
It really is that’s where I live!
SLAYED
So beautiful!!!
baileys so cute
Thinking of using one of the aux switches in my jeep to turn my inverter on. It sends 12v when powered on. Is there a wire I can connect that to?
Unfortunately, I didn’t measure what voltage is coming out of pin 4 (see 2:45 for pin out), but if it is 12V, you should be able to power on the inverter by connecting your switch to pin 3. Otherwise I believe you could just use pin 4 as input and pin 3 as output on your switch.
Are you ready to come back to reality yet?
Haha not quite yet!! 😅
Good job guys
Thank you!
I started watching you guys while you were still building up the van. I was getting everything together for my transition to my car. I started car dwelling literally around the same time you guys started van life! Felt so cool watching someone else start this new crazy chapter too! Your videos are so cool, let’s go 2025!! 🎉💪🏼 thanks for the inspiration to get out more! Most definitely can’t wait to see where you guys head to this year :)
Aw thanks for following along! So cool that you also started your journey of life on the road 🚐 definitely has its ups and downs but it’s such a great adventure!
the energy is charging my phone 🪫
That’s a great beach behind you
Do these drawers ever fly open when driving? Do you have some extra lock mechanism?
We originally thought the soft close function of the drawer slides would be enough to keep them closed, but once they’re weighted with stuff in them, it wasn’t. We ended up using 80lb magnet catches. Easy to install but perhaps not as smooth of operation as something like marine latches.
I’m also doing a dinette. The only thing that makes me nervous about this is the Pex tubing under the subfloor. What if you have a leak🫣
The majority of the time, leaks occur where there is a fitting, and I would recommend you leave yourself access to them. It would be extremely rare for a leak to occur mid span of a tube/pipe, but it of course could happen! We weren’t originally planning to bring hot water to our sink, but we did it to have a second line to bring water across the van if one were to fail!
I like the versatility of the Unistrut and thought about using that in my van build as well. But I opted for a roof rack because I'm staying away from drilling any holes in my roof. That's where your Unistrut setup is sweet - great job! I have a Chevy Express, so there are other variables inside and out to work with. I have a Renogy 200-watt panel on my roof, but the only way I can add one additional panel is to remove a small cargo basket next to my existing panel. That may be an option like you did just to keep my batteries supplied! Nice clean job!
Thank you! Roof real estate is hard to optimize!
Utahraptor State Park was actually established on March 16, 2021.
Thank you! I should have clarified I was describing the campground more so than the Park
@@itstimetocrunch You're welcome!
Looks great! Which brand and model is this access hatch?
It’s the Acudor 18x18 Gasketed Access Door. While not 100% waterproof, it has worked out great for us, at a fraction of what the waterproof stainless steel one costs.
Thanks for the video. I am getting ready to do curtains of some sort, and you made it look easy.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck on the curtains 😊
Barceló Maya Grand Resort 🇲🇽
