Made up our Minds

Postby asirimarco » Thu Sep 20, 2012 9:00 am

Finally made up our minds - all it had to do was get below 50 once here in Indiana already. We will be going back to Mexico for the winter. Barring any unforeseen circumstances. All the usual places and hopefully a few places we haven't been for a couple of years. Like El Fuerte and Guanajuato. Maybe Guadalajara and Queretero
Bill is ready to leave now. The cold (60 degrees) is really bothering him this year. He thinks it is because of a couple of the pills he is on now since the heart attack. I don't want to leave here until around end of October. Then the drive across country and into MX through Arizona sometime end of November or first of Dec.
We will go pick up the Alfa next week so he can do some maintenace in it before we take off. Wants to put a flat screen TV in it and rehook up all the electronics and get rid of the HughesNet stuff. Still have the satellite dish for the TV.

I know Mark is on a bunch of blood thinners since his heart attack and he's always cold, which is not a good thing since I'm always hot! He piles on the blankets and I have a fan to blow on me.

Sounds like you will have a busy couple of months getting ready and treking across country.

Sounds like a great plan, Carol, for you two as well as for the rest of us as we learn more about Mexico!

Happy trails, and stay in touch when you can!

I kind of thought you'd end up going. And like the others, I look forward to your posts of MX... well, I look forward to all your posts. Hope we can catch up in AZ when you're on the way down. I'll be there before the middle of October -so we can be in touch and see if we can meet somewhere. If I'm real lucky, we can meet on your way back north, too :)

I support any decision that will keep the two of you warm.... Indiana and Ohio in the winter time...not so warm even in the easy winters... :lol:

I love Mexico! Unfortunately life has not given me the opportunity to travel there yet, so i go thru your blogs! I feel I'm right there with you when I read your postings. Glad you're going again this winter. Look forward to seeing new places.

Are there any dangers with you going to México with the drug cartels fighting each other? I would worry about Americans being targets. Just read today about 7 bodies found dismembered in the back of a pickup not all that far from Guadalajara. You seem to be experienced travelers but worry about you being safe.
