Me again
Here is another chunk of my story. Been really busy trying to get things setup here. Having trouble with internet and cell phones. Also met up with the guy helping us submit our paperwork for working visas. Yesterday was cloudy, which was actually nice... and today is sunny again. Probably have a dip in the pool later today!

Day 6 – Thursday – Houston to Brownsville
Left Houston an hour and a half late. That’s just what I do… usually running late… especially in the mornings! Managed to stuff all our purchases into the van! By the way, I’m very pleased with all my new clothes. I got some great deals on new clothes for wedding shoots. I spilled my secret to Lincoln today… I bought two pairs of capris that are a little too tight for me! Hahaha… I plan to cut some pounds before I return from Calgary again. Oh, by the way, I’m only in Playa for a week. I still fly back to Calgary, work for about a month, then come back to Mexico. That’s going to be a rough few weeks for me. Turns out it is a bit of a blessing too… I only have the trip to worry about right now. Linc has actually quit his job already, so it’s a little more real for him.
Been trying to deal with issues back home for the last 3 days over text messages. I can’t imagine what our cell roaming bill is going to look like. Someone is trying to rent our condo back in Calgary… but it’s pretty tough to coordinate when you can’t talk to the guy. Been askin’ a lot of favors from the friends back home… But I guess we can pay that off with a place for them to stay in Playa… or some wedding photos!!!
Lolita is holding up well. The drive today was pretty low key, considering it was ONLY 7 hours!! Phew.
Chillaxin in the hotel in Brownsville with some Rum right now. Had to smuggle the animals in. For a hotel that doesn’t allow animals, there sure is a lot of damage from dogs in here. Also… my little hunter/cat, Jeter, just found a bug crawling on the floor. Yuck… how I am supposed to sleep here now?!?! Hahah… I’m in big trouble!! Plan is to hit the free breakie at 6AM, then the border. I hope the border is like the rest of this city… seems everyone speaks English very well and are very helpful. We will see if our luck with borders continues…
Didn’t sleep well in Brownsville. The animals continued their hunt for bugs and found several more. Grody. I’m already starting to feel the effects of traveling through Mexico. I don’t feel entirely safe here in the dark. Yikes, what am I doing… I’m not even across the border yet!
.... More to come... eventually.
