ON THE ROAD AGAIN


After our two week vacation in Sayulita, our Land Rover decided it wanted to stay an additional two.  This actually ended up working out in our favour as the timing was perfect - we had family flying down and they invited us to come and stay with them in Nuevo Vallarta.  Being with family gave us a comfort we haven't had in a long time.  Seeing our great nieces and nephew, late night talks, tasty food, a comfortable bed and many Starbucks gave us renewed energy that will take us to our next visitor from home.  The nine of us also shared a nasty, highly infectious flu, that we know none of us are soon to forget!!  That aside, it was a wonderful visit and it was hard to say goodbye!



After thirty-seven days without really driving, we are back on the road again.  The first few hours was tough but as the miles clicked away we slid back into our groove.  We got that excited feeling again to roll down the highway and see new places.

We are still heading south, following the pacific coast. Enjoying the last we'll see of the ocean before we start to head inland.  We are currently in San Patricio, a town we both instantly like.  Its clean, laid back and has a great beach.  We're stuffing ourselves with great Mexican cuisine, hanging out on the beach and wandering the streets of the neighbouring towns - all the things we love.

  3. Hey kids.....we made it back last night. Damn cold in Edmonton. A far cry from eating dinner on the beaches, and lounging by the pool. It was good to hook up with you guys and hear your adventure stories. Lorraine.....I feel Justin and Nadine are wasting away, and I spent the better part of our week trying to coax them to eat. It was to no avail, as all they wanted was Reese, cheezies and tequila. Poor things.....I feel there may be nothing left of them by the time you hook up in Costa Rica. Justin doesn't even own a pair of shorts that fit him. All kidding aside folks.....N & J are happy, heathly, tanned and well read. So stop worrying if you are, they are having a legendary adventure together. Truly once in a lifetime.
