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.
The guest house, believe it or not, is still not rented! If you lived here you would never, never be bored.

As his followers log on to catch up on his adventures, anywhere from zip line descends to battling crocodile infestations at his local jungle lagoon......
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the next chapter.......
Have a jolly ol'e time my cyber buddy, You for one is not the typical retired soul who sits around complaining of having nothing to do. And that being said, you could join all those others in SMA with multitudes of busy work...but it doesn't seem your calling, not yet anyway.
What a terribly mundane life; Felipe is right you need a lover. Maybe having to go to work every day is not as bad as I think it is.
ReplyDeleteThere is that. We will see what my trip north brings.
ReplyDeleteI suspect there is still a lot of stuff left in this decaying carcass.
ReplyDeleteI won't trade with you -- work, that is. But I always have an eye out for the next lover. Of course, the one eye look is not always the best bait.
ReplyDelete"Red China"....how quaint. We now know that country as "Our Esteemed and Very Respected Banker"
ReplyDeleteQuaint is one of the more endearing descriptions of my personality.
ReplyDeleteUnless of course that special wench is looking for a pirate, aaarrrrgh.
ReplyDeleteGood eats in China!
ReplyDeleteAnthony Bourdain says he could spend a year there and not scratch the surface. You will eat well.Note to Steve: no such place as "Red China"
A very-fussy eater friend recently returned from China with siumilar culinary tales.
ReplyDeleteNo Red China? Then where will I ever be able to comment that I ate dinner on red china in Red China?
Been there. Done that.
ReplyDeleteis the german restaurant you mentioned just south of chacala? did you make it while you were there? that was one of my favorite places during my 2 winters in chacala-great food!
ReplyDeletehappy travels.
We did not get there.
