breaching the bore-dam


The next time I complain about being bored, I will bookmark this post.


I keep thinking I have written about my plans for the next two or so months.  But several people have told me I am wrong.


So here goes.


Today I am driving up to Nuevo Vallarta to meet one of my readers from Germany -- and his Mexican wife.  Some of you know him as Hollito.  He started commenting on my blog before I moved to Mexico.


We had planned to meet two winters ago.  But those plans fell through when I flew to Oregon for a Cotton Thanksgiving-Christmas-birthdays all-in-one inclusive holiday celebration.


I will spend a few days with Hollito and his wife on the beach -- and I hope at a nice eatery.  We have been talking about a German restaurant a bit further north.


On Tuesday I will drive back to Melaque to board a flight to Oregon on Wednesday.


The trip north is to take care of some additional travel business.  I am heading off to Red China in February  But that visit will not take place until I get a visa for my passport.


While I am waiting for the courier service and the Chinese consulate in San Francisco to returned my engrossed passport, I will spend a week or two with family and friends.  And I hope to slip some good food into the agenda.  You may notice a certain culinary itch that has gone unscratched in Melaque.


Sometime before Christmas, I will fly back to Melaque.  With a trip to Copper Canyon in January.


And I will then be off to Red China to inquire about political prisoners.  Just kidding.  About the political prisoners, that is.  I do not need to play a character role in the next Tom Clancy novel.


So, there you have it.  I am heading out on the road again.  Which means my report will be sporadic for a bit.


At least, I am not going to be bored.
