The beginning...

The decision has been made.

Having already lived outside of the U.S. for 4 years, and knowing that it is next to impossible to live on SS within the U.S., we will be heading south of the border to find our piece of paradise.

I lived in Mexico, south of Cancun, in a little fishing village by the name of Puerto Morelos back in the late 80's.  I loved it there and hated leaving it when the time came.  In just under 4 years, I learned enough Spanish to make my way through the grocery store and to also get around.  I have no doubt that I will be able to become fluent enough to carry on a conversation in Spanish.  I look forward to it and embrace the opportunities that are ahead of us.

My blog is to be an attempt to take anyone who is interested, along for the ride and learn from our mistakes and triumphs.  I will attempt to be diligent in my postings, but please have patience since I am still working full time and maintaining a household.
