Mexico here we come......
Yep.... Mexico it is, leaving November 22. To make a long story short, Veronique and I both left our jobs in April to try to get a job in the British Virgin Island, The Island did not worked, we had something in Martinique, no luck there either.... UK was close to be a done deal 3 weeks ago, until we had a phone call from Mexico.....

We had an offer that we could just not pass. House for 4 months, 2 months salary in advance, a truck for the time we need it and only our food and phone bill to pay..... All that in Ixtapa, a few feet from the Pacific ocean

After 4 months, if we like it down there, we already have a few opportunity for long term jobs. So that's it, leaving the 22, landing in Mexico City and driving to Ixtapa maybe 2 days after.

I'm not selling the Repsol, will wait to see if we like it over there, but it's all ready to go. Will try to make it to Grattan no matter what!!

Great to hear, Jetbdude, though sorry we won't get an opportunity of meeting in the UK .

I'm sure the weather will be warmer in Mexico, though the winds can be stronger! Have a great time and much success .

OK.... only 2 days, We are pretty nervous but exited at the same time. We will be boarding the plane Tuesday morning and landing in Mexico city at 2:15Pm. Don't really know what is waiting for us, warmer weather for sure

We will try to keep that thread alive and send some news once a while. Until then, take care everyone

Hasta pronto!
