The Adventure Continues!

One and all,

It is about 5 a.m on Tuesday, December 30th and we are just 3 hours from leaving for Mexico. Thank God! December was a very long month. We are ready, as I am sure you all are, for a change. While I hate to gloat (Well, I am not sure I hate it, but really do try to resist it), we are making the change. We catch a non-stop flight at 10:20 this morning (of course, we've been up since 3 a.m -- and this is with being pretty well organized) for Puerto Vallarta and will be back at our old haunt, looking forward to doing the dishes in the shower. We will be there all the month of January and then move over to Guadalajara on February 1st. Home on March 1st.

We do have a Skype number again, however, it is not the same one we had last year. You can reach us with just a local call to (503) 928-7476. There is voice mail so if we are at the beach, we promise to get back to you.

It has been interesting in our anticipating the trip. Last year I couldn't understand people wanting to return to the same place again and again. However, I must confess a certain excitement in going back and seeing friends and locals that we met last year. People come and go so much in PV, that I am certain some people will not realize that a year has gone by and just greet us as though we'd been gone a week or two.

I am going to try to treat the blog a bit differently this go-around. I am going to treat it more like a daily diary. Perhaps not as many photos and short entries, but I will try to be more regular (and at my age that becomes increasingly more difficult). As with any traveling, we look forward to the people, but the hard part is that in traveling, it is also the people we miss. We will think of you all and wish you the best for the New Year. I will work to keep in touch through this blog and I hope you will make contact from time-to-time as well.

Love,

Ed and Polley
