What Time Is It?
For months now when questioning the time we have all been saying, “who cares?” Just in the last couple of days, time seems to be taking on a little more importance. Friends ask us, “When are you leaving back for the states?” We in turn are asking our friends the same question, as to when are they planning to leave. These questions floating around sure put reality to the fact that it won’t be long and we all will be heading for either the U.S. or Canada. It will be exciting to finally be on the move again, but it will also be with mixed emotion, as we part company with many special friends. There are quite a bunch of us who plan to return to Mexico next November and we will have a big reunion then. Some we may even have the opportunity to visit as we travel throughout the summer.
Starting tomorrow Kathleen and I are leaving our coach in the protective custody of our neighbors here at La Penita RV Park and we are going on an exploratory trip down the West Coast of Mexico by car. We really don’t have any firm plans for where we will go, or how far, as we want to be totally free to do as we please. We plan to return on Friday or Saturday, just in time for us to get ready for a little finger food party we are planning to host for Sunday evening. One of my RV park neighbors has hired the Perez Brothers to play at a little private party he is hosting and it just makes good sense to host our friends at our place and take advantage of listening to a couple of hours of excellent music. I have commented about the Perez Brothers in a previous blog.
Once all of the aforementioned is behind us it will be time to get serious about working on the last of the tanning opportunities and time to start thinking about getting things ready to travel. The nice part of this life style is nothing is cut in stone but for the sake of planning we will begin our trek north some time near the end of this month. We were discussing what we are looking forward to when we cross the border back in to the states. Kathleen is anxious to buy and sample some cottage cheese, and for me I am looking forward to a big North American Breakfast.
Will we miss anything about Mexico? There would not be room enough or time at the moment to write all that we will miss. This has been a fantastic 1st winter of our new retired RV lifestyle and will be extremely hard to top in the future, but rest assured we will try!
