Week-of Updates

When you’re hailing your cab to the hotel, make sure to specify you’re going to the Estelar BOCAGRANDE (not manzanillo).  Normal 4 person taxi price to hotel should be between $5-$10 (20,000-25,000 COP).  There’s a money exchange counter in the airport after you’ve left customs (no ATM).   If you’re a non-Colombian, here’s the link for info on how to get your VAT tax refund: https://www.dian.gov.co/Viajeros-y-Servicios-aduaneros/Documents/ABC-Vat-Refund-To-Foreign-Tourists.pdf   Be prepared that you may experience long wait times at customs 😭 (unfortunately no way around it- trust me, my mom has tried) so make sure to go to the bathroom before you deplane (but there are bathrooms in the line too).

Our Wedding

Vero and Jay met the old fashioned way - through the incredibly rewarding experience of dating apps. Vero liked his profile first even though she could barely tell what he looked like. She was relieved to find that he was really cute and they soon bonded over their irrational fear of brain-eating amoeba that Vero included on her profile. Coincidentally, Vero had already met Jay's roommate Sean earlier that week during his Breast Imaging rotation. It is unknown if Sean remembers this, but he soon realized that the girl Jay was seeing was the boss's daughter. It's hard to know what Finn the doodle thought about a new stranger in the apartment, but he did in fact passive-aggressively poop on Jay's bed, making direct eye contact with Vero the entire time. He had never done this in his life and has since apologized.

Love at First Protozoan

The couple's relationship quickly accelerated - almost as quickly as COVID spread on a boat in September 2021 - which led Jay and Vero to quarantine together with Vero's roommates: COVID positive Ainhoa and COVID negative Scott (sadly they all ended up infecting him). Throw an overgrown doodle into the mix, and apartment 1810 was a fever dream of board games, takeout, and reality TV. Vero and Jay's COVID resistant relationship has lasted over 3 years, 4 apartments, 3 cities, dozens of road trips up North, a long distance 2023 Christmas, a kitty, and now a house (coming March 2025!). The couple cannot wait to celebrate with you all and finally make Finn and Riley legitimate (no more bastards)! See you all in ~Cartagena~
