Day 4 of our road trip from Austin TX to Puerto Morelos Mexico. Today was from Puebla to Villahermosa. Total time was about 9 hours, and that included 3 stops for gas and bathroom breaks. Driving distance was just over 400 miles. Not a lot to report today. In the...
Today we drove from Matehuala to Puebla. About 440 miles. Total travel time was about 8.5 hours, including a few stops for gas. Driving today was a bit stressful. A lot of the highways were shit-tastic. Crazy bumpy, lots of potholes. Plus, we were up and down through...
After the fun of inspections, visas, and customs at the border, we were on our way South. We drove from Laredo TX to Matehuala, San Luis Potosi. About 350 miles. Total driving time was about 8 hours. The drive was fairly easy, and the roads, for the most part, were...
Yesterday morning we left Laredo, and drove to the Colombia bridge, which is technically part of the Laredo bridge system. It was about a half hour drive to get there. Some will say just cross the border at one of the main Laredo bridges, as opposed to adding an extra...
Today we got rid of the last of our stuff at our house, locked it up, and started our journey to Mexico. It was odd to see our house empty. We have such great memories over the last 16 years in our house. But , it’s time to move on! We packed up the Jeep and...

Jack was an amazing cat. He was sweet, affectionate, and probably more like a dog than a cat; he came when we called him, and would take walks with us when we walked our dog. He was smart: He figured out how to open our screen door so that he could get out. Just by...
I don’t think I was mentally prepared with how stressful this move would be. Yesterday, I literally wanted to go back to bed, crawl under the covers, and hide. But the health coach and adult in me knew that doing that wouldn’t produce any relief from the...
When we tell people that we’re moving, a common question is – How are you getting there? And how are you getting your stuff there? As far as our stuff, we’re not taking much, as I’ve already discussed in a couple of previous posts. We’re...
We’re 3 weeks away from leaving for Mexico. Gah! Our house is starting to look pretty bare. We sold the 55″ flat screen, and all the stereo equipment and speakers. We’re borrowing a TV from a friend until we leave. If you look close you can see the...
