Here we go! We're on our way to Sayulita Mexico from the San francisco Bay Area. I moved to the Bay Area from Puerto Rico in 1979. My husband Jim has lived here most of his life. After visiting several resort areas in Mexico over the last 20 years, we simply fell in love with Mexico. The warm loving people, the sense of community, the fabulous cuisine, the warm tropical climate and, of course, great tequila. Since we run an online business, we decided it's the perfect time to skip off to Sayulita for some fun in the sun and some work, albeit with an ocean view.

We sold our home in Alameda, California, donated most all our possessions and now my husband Jim, our chocolate lab Lily and I are loading up our SUV with 5 suitcases, a couple of boxes of financial records and some art and photos. Just a few more days and we're on our way!
