On Our Way

On Our Way

Today is the day. Finally after 11 months of planning and researching this trip, the departure time has come. All of our goodbyes have been said, all the preparations are done. We actually can get in the car today and leave. About time!! We packed the car yesterday, and surprisingly enough it all fit in with room to spare, have never packed for 6 months before. We spent all day yesterday waiting for the guy to come and shut off the water, he finally arrived at almost 7 P.M., needless to say we were getting a little antsy! As he went about his job, we were chatting and discovered that he had spent some time in Mexico and really enjoyed it. Anyway, we had an good time talking with him of his experiences and he told us some funny stories about his travels.

Well Hasta Luego everyone and away we go, hopefully will be able to update regularily.

Just Hanging Out

Just Hanging Out

This morning we are just hanging out, relaxing, waiting for the water guys to come and shut down the water. It is very quiet around here without the dogs, we miss them already!

Watching CNN and seeing the gas prices on the rise, makes me glad I sold the truck. I was also thinking about the people on another blog we read, they will soon be on their way to Mexico, driving a truck and camper, I am glad that we will not have their gas bills. A relative from Hawaii called the other day and was complaining about their gas prices. I asked her about the cap on prices there and she said it has just made it worse. When the gas cap went on all the companies raised their prices right away to the cap price, so they are paying more now. Figures. They are paying (two days ago) $4.17 per gallon, when I figured out what we are paying per litre ($106.9) we are actually paying $4.06(U.S. gallon) and we live in an oil/gas production area, think we are getting ripped off?? When you factor in the exchange rate for our dollar, we would be paying more than them.

Also have been listening to the news of the newest hurricane on the rise and it looks like it may get to the Texas coast and thinking of all the evacuees in Houston, etc. that are there and am sure they do not need to live through another one right now. Hopefully it will change its course and everything will be alright. I'm sure that another blogger will be watching that one carefully as they also have a home in Houston.

Hopefully the next time I blog it will not be from home but on the road somewhere.

Bye for now.
