Home Sweet Home

We have been in Mazatlan since Friday evening….and here it is Wednesday! It has been a VERY busy time, but we have been having a blast. We spent two days at the B & B – which was wonderful but...

Moving Day

Tomorrow morning, Sunday, we move in to our new home! Well, we move in the 12 boxes, 20 or so pictures, dogs, clothing and bedding that we brought with us, anyway! After that we will set out on an expedition...

We are tired but happy

Somos de Mazatlan! We live here! WOW! The last two days have been two of the most tiring of the last few months. I know that part of the reason is just the cumulative action of the buildup to moving...

Here we come!

We spent the night in Tucson and are crossing the border this morning! What more can I say? We are excited about our new life and the adventure of it all. I’ll post again once we are in Mazatlan, but...

A little stop along the way!

It’s Been Quite A Ride

In my wildest dreams I would have never believed our last month here would be such a roller coaster ride…. Last Tuesday we got word that our house deal had failed. Down to the depths of despair! Then we gave...

It’s Just Practice

for our new life, that is. We know that in Mexico we will need to “roll with it” and our practice starts now. That’s because the people who were going to buy our house backed out at the last minute....

Quickie Update

We got our FM3’s and menaje approval on the same day we submitted for them! Crazy! I really, really, hope that there will never be a reason for anyone except customs people to take a close look at the pictures....

FM3 and odds and ends

We are getting down to the last couple of weeks in the Pacific Northwest. It has been a very strange summer here – and not just because of the strangeness of wrapping up our life here. The weather has been...
