January 28:
As the day we leave for Mexico for 3 weeks approaches, we are busy putting into place all the necessities to make our winter vacation both enjoyable and the preparation for it less stressful. We are fortunate that we have lots of pesos and American dollars left over from our trip to Mexico and New York last summer. Our passports are up to date and our flight to Puerto Vallarta has been confirmed. The care of the house, any snow shoveling, the watering of plants, etc. has been looked after.
We have our two suitcase set up in the dining room. Patti has the larger one and I have the type that I can carry on should I choose to do so. I won't because I have a backpack in which will be my Iphone, our laptop, my camera, my Kobo, my New York SundayTimes crossword puzzle book (okay, okay, so I'm a fanatic), several pens (yes, I do my puzzles in pen),my meds for a week, and my camera.
I pack fairly lightly for the 3 weeks. I have a pair of very comfortable sandals, a good pair of running shoes that I will wear on my daily excursions, a week's worth of tops, shorts, gitch, and sox, my toiletries in travel size, my meds - yes, I do have high blood pressure, don't most ex-teachers? I have also packed some art supplies as I intend to do some pencil sketches of Winnipeg landmarks on this trip. I will wear my one pair of trousers that I allow myself onto the plane along with my Winnipeg Goldeyes baseball cap and a light water and wind proof jacket.
Our hotel is booked, our flight is confirmed and now there is only seat selection to do. I have advised the credit card companies and our local bank and credit union of our travel plans because there is nothing more frustrating than to have your credit card or bank card refused when you are 5000 kilometres from home. We have our travel medical insurance and I have arranged with MTS to have unlimited texting privileges from Mexico on my Iphone.
Our ride to the airport and the ride home when we return has been arranged. One more sleep!
