i'm coming, elizabeth


Unlike Redd Foxx, this is no fake heart attack. I have finally made plans to make my next scouting trip to Mexico. This time I will stay in Melaque from 12 to 19 July.


I have waxed poetic about a house in Melaque that I would like to rent. This will give me an opportunity to see the house during a portion of one season and see if it meets my needs. From everything I have heard, it certainly should. But seeing, in this case, is knowing -- not simply believing.


If the house passes this final inspection, I will most likely rent it during the hot season next year.


When I was in Barra de Navidad in December, I wanted to see a house that interested me. As has been my luck, it sold the weekend before I arrived. It is now back on the market. I will take a look at it, as well, while I am in the area.


I do not want to plan too many activities for this trip. After all, it is only for one week. Instead of trying to pack in too much, I intend to spend the week wandering around town meeting people. If I can arrange it, I would also like to meet some of the message board members in Melaque and Barra.


The countdown begins: only 7 weeks away.
