Getting Ready

---

Getting ready to go on a trip is a hassle. All that crap you have been putting off now has a real, unnegotiable due date. Renew a rental, Repair the other one, House repairs, replace the vineyard, build an irrigation system.... it doesn't seem to have an end.

But it will end on 9 October. And it will be out of reach and hopefully forgotten for two wonderful months. We will probably be in Mexico City until Thursday the 14th when we move on to Guanajuato for the Festival Internactional Cerventino. Then who knows?

We end up in Oaxaca where we have rented an apartment for a month. Finish the trip with a couple weeks checking out the Mayan antiquities and we will be home in time for Christmas.

We are taking my new netbook computer. It's been ok but the small screen size is unwieldy. Plus I can't adapt to the touch pad so I have to schlep a mouse around. I downloaded Kindle software to the pc and bought a travel guide for the new areas we are exploring.
