Waiting

While waiting for our Baja departure date, the idea of a blog came to me.  This introductory post serves merely as a means of testing the process to see if I like it.

Right now, Bruce and I are pondering the mundane issues, like "How much shampoo will we use in 2 mos?"  You'd think we'd have that part pretty well dialed-in by now, but actually we don't.  You see this year, we can check one bag free and that means we can take all the liquids we like and we free ourselves from having to spend our first Baja hour in the Walmart of Cabo.  Freedom indeed!

Our first month will be spent near Pescadero, staying at Las Palmas Tropicales in Casita Oleander.  We've not stayed here before, so I'll have to let you know if it lives up to the description on the website (click on the blue letters to view the website).  Near as we can tell, we should be just a few block south of the surf motel where we stayed last year.  The advantage this year is the free wifi in our casita!

So while we wait, I find myself imagining sun on my shoulders, toes in the sand, holding the pages of my book open against the warm sea breeze.  All this is rather hard to imagine as right now I hear the 50mph wind blowing at my house during a 33 degree day.

I pass my days sewing little wool blocks into a very warm quilt.

Ah, waiting.....

  2. Casita Oleander sounds and looks like the stuff of winter dreaming. If only, if only, a famous quote from I believe, the walrus. I await your posts with great anticipation.

  3. Wow, that place looks fancy, social security must be kicking in. Ann L. is still talking beach vacation (at least that is what we dream about when we diligently show up at the gym at 5:30 am), so you may see us yet... Looking forward to your posts as well.
