It has been a few days since I started telling this story. Hopefully I can get it down now without crying or tearing my hear out! So, on Friday, 2/16, we closed on our house. That was the simple part of the day. When we were done there, we went immediately to the UPS storeContinue reading “UGH – Continued”

UGH!
What a cluster! Never, ever, EVER trust UPS when they tell you “no problem.” Boy, did I learn that the hard way! So, when last I wrote, we were waiting for UPS to arrive between 2 and 5 p.m. on Thursday to pick up all of our worldly possessions. I worked so hard to getContinue reading “UGH!”
Moving to Queretaro — Update!
So much has changed in such a short period of time. First, there were many complications with shipping our pets. You see, Queretaro is a small airport and United can not accommodate Sophie Poodle’s crate on the planes that fly in there. That meant that we had to have her and Jack the Cat shippedContinue reading “Moving to Queretaro — Update!”
I hate moving…
Ugh. Moving is a drag. Moving to another country is even more challenging. To date we have packed a few boxes, watched our living room, dining room and patio furniture leave without us, and have made travel arrangements for us and our pets. Still no place to live in Queretaro, although I’m confident something willContinue reading “I hate moving…”
Puerto Vallarta Revisited
Lyn and I have been home now since very late Saturday night. And what a night it was! Got home to chirping smoke detectors that didn’t respond to new batteries. We replaced them 3 times! Without a car, we ultimately called a friend to come and take us to a hotel for the night. Yes,Continue reading “Puerto Vallarta Revisited”

We also had to have photos done for the official certificates that will come from the Mexican government. Woot! While I´m thrilled to be done with the course, I am also sorry to see it end.Continue reading “Certified TEFL Teachers!”
Yelapa
Lyn and I finally took some time to go do something. It was a beautiful Sunday. The weather was perfect. So we went to Yelapa. Yelapa is a a small beach town south of Puerto Vallarta. You can only get there by water taxi, and that takes 45 minutes. It was well worth the ride.Continue reading “Yelapa”
The Rooster Is Real!
I finally saw the rooster! He lives in an empty lot just behind our apartment. No wonder you can hear him so clearly! And, he is not alone! There is at least one hen in there with him. The lot looks like it is used to collect trash. Not sure if that is intentional orContinue reading “The Rooster Is Real!”
A Week In Review
Ok, so I have been a lousy blogger this week. It may sound like an excuse, but I’ve been very busy! Teaching This week, I was partnered with Justin, a young man just completing his BA in Education at Michigan State. We were assigned to teach 6th grade for four days. Yes, that is fourContinue reading “A Week In Review”
Looking ahead
I’m not sure if I’m glad the weekend is almost over or if I’m dreading the week ahead. Both options seem right. Lyn and I spent all weekend working on our various assignments. Have I mentioned how much I hate grammar? It isn’t getting any better. In fact, it is getting worse. All of theContinue reading “Looking ahead”
