  • We're Jimmy and Natalie, and we’re living in our van in Baja, Mexico. Week 3 gets off to a rough start when what should be a magical bucket-list excursion takes a turn for the worse. But this week is also a story of redemption, as we're able to bounce back and see what all the hype around van life in Baja is really about! 😄🇲🇽💚

    I love the lady in the background confidently mowing down a sandwich while 3 other people are puking lol.

    I’ve gotten seasick many times on cruises. They used to hand out apples when it got very rough. If you notice when you ever go on a cruise, they’re usually bowls of apples all around. Also when the boat is moving, especially a small boat, you’re OK but the minute it stops and starts rocking that’s when you get sick. Looks like that’s what happened to you guys.

    I had a VERY similar experience puking over the side of a small boat while iceberg hunting in Newfoundland....it was simultaneously a highpoint and lowpoint of my trip....years later I look back on it fondly if that makes you feel any better :) Great video, looks gorgeous!

      OMGosh yes! If someone pukes, I puke. If our kids ever got carsick (and one did frequently) my husband would stop the car, I would run down the road, and he would look after the situation. He would call me back when the coast was clear. lol…he is a keeper.

      @meggggg 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    That had to be the smallest boat I've ever seen used for whale watching! Smaller the boat, more the impact of waves/wind/sun, etc. Cool beach spot! Interesting sombrero there Jimmy....Natalie didn't want one? You could have been Tres Amigos y Sombreros!

      I am glad someone else had the same opinion about it…most people don’t know the effort to make them and sell them. It’s so unfair that these young people don’t appreciate the value of their hard work. And the audacity of still saying: “I am so proud of myself” 😡 for being so cheap.

    @ronnavaughn2928 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I'm sorry you got sick. I've never gotten sick, but my husband has, and I did empathize with him. I'm sure you enjoyed seeing the whales anyway. Probably shouldn't go deep sea fishing unless you take something for motion sickness. 😊 skip the boat, just fish with the locals from the shore. They are so kind and will teach you everything.

    Do not feel bad to get sea sick. I was on 3 Navy ships and most everyone gets sick the first couple weeks. Then in ocean so rough you have trouble walking, 70 present have some sea sickness. 5 present are in bed. I witnessed 3 sailers have it so bad, they took them off ship. 10 years ago, took my family to Vancouver Canada. Water got rough and family sick hanging on table. I still had my sea legs and was walking around and dancing. Family did not think it was funny. But thanks, always enjoy your videos.

    Be careful in the sand with bare feet where there is dog Doo. It is rare but there's a very weird fungus you can get from the dog feces that causes severe infections. I would clean your feet after being in the sand. What a beautiful place to camp and enjoy. Sorry you got sick whale watching. I probably would too in a small boat. Love you guys ❤

    When you were on the beach with the clam shell, I had a flashback on when you were 4. We were at Folly Beach and you found a hermit crab and played with it for a long time. When it died, you came running to your Mom. She comforted you by telling you that you gave that little crab more love that it ever had in its whole life. Your smile was priceless!

    Next time, for any extended boat ride, take Dramamine at least two hours before leaving shore. Benedryl works too, but can make you drowsy. I’m suggesting this as a scuba diver who often got sea sick.

    It's not Baja peninsula, it is THE California peninsula. The state in the US should be Alta California or the Upper land of the California peninsula. The state is called Baja California, however the Mexicans never intended to name the state Baja, that was because after the war we're the US stole haft of the Mexican territory, the US appropriated the name California and dropped the Alta or Upper forcing the Mexicans to add Baja to the territory of the California peninsula.

    So sorry about your motion sickness. One trick that doesn't work for everyone is to keep your eyes on the horizon as much as possible. It's possible you won't have that problems again. I was a US Navy flight instructor at one time, and whenever a student would start to get woozy, I would have the student take the controls. Next time, ask the driver to let you take the tiller. 😁

      Are you kidding?? You’ll get those in California or Florida for $50 dlls.!! Small little towns in Mexico have to pay high prices just for transportation…if they make them themselves, it might take a full day per hat. You live in the past! So unfair he went back with $520 only when the guy had said $600, already $50 less than regular…I hate cheap tourists. They should only travel in the US😡

    Really enjoying your series. Bummer about the seasickness, I always take a tablet if it looks to be rough. For some reason in the video you seemed to be trying to justify why you are paying to camp. I would have thought supporting the local communities was a good thing. Glad you bought the hats, they are great for keeping the sun off.

    Tip…sharks vs dolphins.
    Dolphins…dorsal fin travels up and down in the water.
    Sharks…dorsal fin travels in a straight line “through” the water. It’s in how they swim if ya think about it. Also, when dolphins are around…sharks are generally not.
    This comes from 30 years as a coastal flats wade-fisherman where I encounter both with some frequency👍
