Yearnings

I remember my 4 years in Mexico with great pleasure and yearning, even with knowing that it will never be the same as it was then.  This, all while my marriage at the time was coming to an end.  I didn't want to leave Mexico then, but had no choice.

Many people want to know why I want to go to Mexico with all that is happening with the drug cartels down there.  I still have friends down there and they tell me that they are not experiencing those problems in that area.  People don't seem to realize that most of the problems are near the border with the U. S. and other remote areas.  I have no fear that there will be any problems.

The problem is how to avoid the border areas going into Mexico.  We are still looking into that issue.  The year that I left Mexico (1993), they had started up a ferry that went from Tampa, FL to Playa del Carmen, MX.  They offered travel with your vehicle and you could also book a cabin, if you chose.  I just recently found out that the company folded after that year.  I just found out that the route has been purchased by a new company and expects that they will be up and running sometime next year.  I can only pray and keep my fingers crossed that this is true.  It would certainly be the solution to the problem.

The other thing is that Mexico may only be a starting point for us.  Who knows where we will end up?  The possibilities are endless.  Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, etc.  I just know that we can't afford to stay here on what we will be getting from SS.

I promise to be as diligent as possible in my postings.  I ask forgiveness if I miss a day here and there.  I also ask forgiveness if I ramble on in my postings.  More to come...
