Off to Mexico on December 14- 2011

Hello Everyone,

We are leaving Vancouver next Wed.  Dec. 14 on Flight A319 US Airways  at 2:29 PM then catching a connecting flight in Phoenix (Flt. A319) at 7:40 PM arriving in Guadalajara at 11:18 PM at night. We will overnight near the airport at the Hampton Inn and be picked up by  Mark who rents us a refurbished car the next morning (if all goes as planned!). So we will settle into our casita on Dec. 15.

We may try to get a phone this season as it will make internet use easier as well as communication but not yet sure how complicated it is.  We will keep you all posted. If not we can always SKYPE to land line which is so convenient.

Our beloved Ibooks of 10 years bit the dust so Ivan got us a MAC AIR which I am trying to get used to as I will be taking an online course while away.  Why is everything getting so much smaller when my eyesight wants things bigger? Anyhow, it is really cute, convenient and we are making friends with it friends slowly.

Ivan is in town tweeking his hearing aid which will make his Mexican mornings spectacular with birdsong symphonies he has not yet heard.  We are in the usual frenzy of doing all the last minute chores which seem endless, but I know that once on the plane with my KINDLE and endless sunshine plus a wonderful community waiting I will relax.  I am looking forward to uninterupted hours of reading which is rarely possible in our Canadian busy lives.

So we want to wish everyone a hearfelt SEASONS GREETINGS, HAPPY NEW YEAR AND hope our time away is also enjoyed by all in beautiful BC.  We return on April 10 and still have some windows for guests to visit in Feb. and March. There is a spare room and a great back yard!

Lynda will join us in January for the second time, which is terrific and I can't wait to pick the mandarins in the yard and soak in the thermal pool in between by Spanish studies and my ONLINE course. Not to mention getting used to our new AIR MAC.

Be well, be happy family and friends. We will stay in touch and I will always keep contact info on this blog but will only post when things of interest present themselves.  This is our fourth year at Roca Azul and it is not a holiday.....just life continued under sunny skies in a copacetic setting. I will be teaching ESL part time, painting and Ivan has lots of reading planned.

So my intention is only to post events and places we have not seen before.

Abrazos!

Evi y Ivan
