Five months and six days. So far so good, everything is going well and our kitchen reno will begin on Monday. A little bit ahead of schedule, and it's all good. Tim and I spent two hours at Ikea this morning, and we walked out of there in an excellent mood. Life is full of surprises!
On the booking front, the deposit has been sent for the ranch. It was a bit complicated, and I had to use Western Union for the first time. I discovered that they have an amazing network of service points, and it is possible to wire money in a matter of seconds to be collected in the tiniest remote towns. Pretty amazing. So it is confirmed - we will be in the heart of Yucatan farm land for Christmas and to break in the new year. I'm sure that there will be some nostalgia in the air. A memorable Holiday season, half way through our big adventure.
On the practical front, I have been wondering how we can carry so much luggage in the rental car. We will have many instruments, and our regular luggage. We can travel light, and we have been to Mexico before with one single suitcase for the four of us - and one carry on each. But even with reduced luggage, the problem will be the first grocery shopping which will have to be done on the way to our first destination - with a full car. It will be the biggest shopping as it will include all the basics, and it will also be for the most remote place in our journey, for one entire month. After some research, I have found the solution in... a rooftop bag. It doesn't require a rack, and it is made with thick waterproof fabric. If you find yourself with a space problem when traveling by car with your family, you may want to check it out: https://roofbag.com/OrderProducts.asp - or borrow it from us when we come back!
