Adios USA.....we hope!

By this time tomorrow we should be tucked in at a marina in Ensenada, Mexico. We called and there seems to be plenty of slips available. It is only about seventy miles from San Diego. We figure it will take us around ten hours to get there, give or take an hour or so. The weather isn't the best, but not that bad after midnight tonight. If it lays down to 20 to 25 knots, like it's supposed to, we will be off. Some say we are off anyway. But what do they know that we don't? Hell, they're sitting home on the couch watching re-runs of someone else's adventures!

As of the 20th we will no longer have Internet service on a steady basis. It will be wi-fi from here on out. This will be a new experience, so please be patient with us until we get the hang of it. Once we leave Ensenada, it could be seven to ten days before we can post on the blog. Our phone service will also change from nation wide to nation wide plus Mexico. Sounds good, but it has major changes in minutes available. We loose a considerable amount. As a result we will be forced to only make/accept business calls only, during the day. All personal communications will have to be after 9pm and before 6am. We have had several unexpected major expenses in the last month or so and must tighten our belts, so to speak.

  1. Jay, You need to buy a kazooooooo so you can play along with Judy while she is learning to play mexican songs. Have fun and enjoy the warm weather ahead. We got another inch of snow last night. Jim

  2. Hmmmmm, maybe an accordian instead of a kazoooooooo as I've seen photos of Jay in a dinner jacket at about age 15 playing one.....Latinos have that polka beat down there that will be easier to play on a squeeze box.....maybe even with a monkey and a cup and we can make some extra cash for our travels.....I know we have to get green cards to work there....but somehow you have to prove you don't need money to get one (fat cats only need apply) I plan on trying out a cardboard sign down south to try out pan handling in an area where no one knows me.......if they won't let us work, maybe I can pan handle.....or do they have a law against that for gringas? If I write it in bad Spanish maybe they will feel sorry for me, ya think? Judy
