The amount of things one must do on a daily basis never seems to end. Add the fact that we are packing up our house and moving to another country altogether just makes the list seam insurmountable. The most progress so far has been made on the family and home front. All the grandparents have finally been informed of our planned adventure. The reactions ranged from "sounds incredible" to "when can we come visit?" to "how long is this going to go on?" to "call me, we need to discuss this". All in all, at the end of the day the grandparents have been generally if not mostly supportive. The other challenge was to rent the house in Park City. Our home is not the grandest or the nicest compared to many homes in PC or even on our own street but we love it and it is ours. Leaving will be difficult but we feel we have found a family who will enjoy and take care of the place. So, the extended family is on board, the house is rented and Ashley and the kids have plane tix for the 1st of October. I, on the other hand, get to spend 4 days driving our newly tuned Land Rover down with work tools, supplies, surfboards, our dog Dillon and my good buddy, John. John and his wife, Amy own a fantastic two bedroom rental named Casa Ava

in Sayulita. John has made the trip before and it will be good to have someone to ride shotgun and know more about border proceedures, driving in Mexico and where to stay etc. Just over 3 weeks until I hit the road. Lots more to do.
