Putting fuel in the Boiler

This is our first entry in our blog about moving to Merida. We are about 60 days out to the big exit. In 10 days we will be taking some of our family to see our new home. We are so excited, we wake up talking about our new home and go to bed with a similar conversation.

I am now mentally landscaping our yard, painting our walls, planting my vegetable garden.... I just need to get there. Our realtor and property manager sends pictures on the progress of our to-do list to get our house ready for our Cinco de Mayo arrival. I can sit and watch the slide show of all the pictures endlessly.

I wish it was as easy as packing the car and leaving. Unfortunately we need to figure out who will buy the mounds of "things" we have acquired here. Along with our 40-some years of stuff we have the remaining 83 years of stuff from my Aunt Mim. We jokingly refer to our house here in Phoenix as Sanford and Son's. 5 vehicles, boxes stacked 5 ft high, and a lovely assortment of angel and squirrel lawn art...ugh!

We know that the Super Highway is going to be the best way to keep family and friends updated, hence this new Blog. It also saves me from having to type progress reports 20 times. I have also enjoyed several blogs from other individuals who have braved similar paths before us. They were encouraging, entertaining and very educational. I hope that our blog may be all these things as well.

Soooo stay tuned... I am sure there will be much to tell. How can driving thousands of miles with our very spoiled pooches Max and Rosie be un-noteworthy! hehehe
till then.....
