Yesterday for example....
Greg decides to take the hounds for a nice long walk. A beautiful sunny cool afternoon as they head out. Half way thru the hike, a huge blizzard hits, complete with snow, hail, black skies and wind. Normally Greg would have headed back in a hurry, but not this time.
He was out there for a very long time - I was beginning to worry that the group of them had been wisked off to Oz.
When Greg arrived home an hour and a half later , he told me the neatest thing....
He and the mutts decided that they would simply "enjoy the last winter walk together! I was immediately reminded of how much Greg enjoys the outdoors. Me, I would have been on a bee line home. He is one cool guy!
Days are ticking by quickly and we are busy going over all the details that such a move like this entails. Check and double check. Yep, we're on track and ready to go. Have our Mexican Visa's, International Health Insurance, Mexican Car Insurance. Have advised all Canadian Utility companies of our departure. Have finally finished reducing our household inventory, have the Emergency Kit ready for the Van. Dogs have all had their necessary shots and international health documents - ok, you get the idea. On and on it goes.
Being very organized folks, we're on top of it. Basically, this move has become our "full time jobs" over these past 6 months. Pictures are now off the wall, everything is accounted for and ready to be packed. We've completed the inventory list - we are required to create a manifest document that lists all our electronic items - if it has a plug, it goes on the list. Brand name, serial number etc. - all this needs to be translated into Spanish in order to enter Mexico. Thank the Stars, our moving company is providing this service for us.
Our packers arrive on Monday May 9th and will be here for 2 days. Our stuff will leave in a sealed in bond international moving truck and travel thru the US and then down to Mexico. We will pack the Van, the dogs, our gear and plan to be on the road early May 12th. This drive will take us the better part of 7 days. A friend of ours in Mexico was gracious enough to even provide us with Q-cards with the questions and answers in Spanish as we prepare for the two day drive thru Mexico. Geez Louize........this will be quite the experience!
While we are excited to get on our way, we are again saddened to be leaving our wonderful children, our "perfect grandchildren", our close friends, my Sis Sandy and our beautiful home.
THREE SHORT WEEKS TILL.....................
