One More Work Day Options

[Buen Amigo]

Sorry to rub it in guys/girls. But i got one more workday (tomorrow), and then i am off for 9 days. Yup i am going on vacation. Where? well i am catching up with the wife and baby at her home town in Jalisco. Don't have anything planned really. Just go with the flow and stuff.

I have been to michoacan/jalisco ever since i was born, since my dad was born over there. So it's nothing new to me. IT's just nice to go back and catch up with relatives, relax, have a carne asada in the middle of nowhere, under a bunch of trees, and maybe take a nap. I am pumped and ready to go, i have been working overtime just so my desk can be cleared by tomorrow, and no-one has to do my work while i am gone. (roofing inspector & drafter). So my co-workers wont be as bummed. HA....

I definately will be drinking a couple of shots of tequila everynight. But man i know this vacation is going to feel very short. I'll be back before i even know what happen. That is the bad part.

Back in April, my wife, son, and I went on a trip to Guadalajara and Morelia flying out of TJ. This was our first time in either city. We spent 4 days in GDL and then rented a car and drove to Morelia, it was a quick 3 hour drive but cost us nearly $30.00 dlls in tolls . We spent 4 more days in Morelia.

We loved it there, the trip was fantastic!

Yeah the tolls suck, you have to stop about every 20 minutes. You start getting comfortable, and then a toll booth pops up. My wifes home town is a 3 hour drive from the airport. No toll roads. winedy roads max speed you reach is about 50 mph for only about a 5 min. stretch

Kenyo: yeah i bet you are bored now after a year. Did youqualify for the extended unemployment?

Where did you meet your wife?

[Buen Amigo]

I met my wife here in orange county. How did i meet here in orange county? Well she crossed the border (illegaly) to work and help out her family who are down in jalisco.

Short story, met her, got married, applied for the visa and were denied. That is why we are in TJ.

Why you ask where i met her? Cuz her home town sounds like it's in the middle of no-where? That's how my dads hometown is also....

[HK70]

I asked because I knew you were living in TJ due to her visa issues. So I did not know if you met her in the US or in Mexico. I was just curious.

[Buen Amigo]

Oh, yea it was on the U.S. Side. Well guys/girls, i am off, be safe, and behave. stay outta trouble. see ya...

Sounds like alot of Fun and relaxation despite the little obstacles! Kick back and enjoy, maybe even have a few cold ones! ( jealous...me...love traveling...) I hope you get along with the In-laws and have a great time!

[Buen Amigo]

ok, Well i'm back. Felt like i was only gone for the weekend. The inlaws and i get along great. Wife and i have a little piece of land down there. Nothing big, just a 10 meter by 30 meter lot. When i got there it was the first time i saw it and it was full of grass and weeds. So the next day i head out and start chopping away. Father in law helper the entire time. When even put up posts, and barbed wire to set up the perimeter of the lot. And yes i had cold ones during the afternoons.

It is nice and green right now down in Jalisco. Rains for a bit, and then your good the rest of the day. It is humid though. You get out of the shower, dryed, dressed, and sweating.....We did do more things, but will update later.....

Welcome back!

Back to the Daily Grind!

[Buen Amigo]

yes back to the daily grid, but we bought another piggy bank and called it vacation. So we know that in that piggy bank only bills go in there. Be it 1's, 5's (dollars) or even 20, 50 pesos. No coins will go in this piggy bank. So we are getting ready for the next trip. Probably another 6 months.......
