Since we are currently on the road at the moment we have created a new blog about the journey and that is where I will be most days pondering travel, life and, as usual, the all encompassing "what am I doing with my life?". I will continue to post here but definitely less often while we are on the road.

Spanglish
My brain is on overdrive at the moment...I am thinking half in Spanish and half in English which is affecting my ability to put together full sentences in either language. But I am happy to report that Spanish immersion was pretty good and finally somethings are starting to click. We still need to (and plan to) study more but it was a great introduction. At the moment we are in Mexico City and I am enjoying being back in a big city...in fact we have only been here 6 hours and I am already thinking we should stay here longer.....

So here we are...
Finally after months of work we are on our way...
After we finished up work in Todos Santos, we headed to Cabo for a bit of relaxing and luxury. We also ran a few errands to finish up our work contract so that we didn't have anything else to worry about while on the road. After two hours at the Office Depot in Cabo and a trip to UPS we sent off the final design package and ready to chill out...but of course that is not always how things work out.
Turns out T's visa was coming close to expiring and we figured that it wouldn't be a hassle to extend it. Well, it wasn't. Basically they told T he either had to leave the country and come back in or he could apply for his FM3 which is sort of like an annual renewable permanent residency, they told us to get the papers and to come back the following day. So we printed bank statements, got a friend's Mexican address as well as borrowing a bill of theirs, had the lady at our B&B print us out a letter in Spanish and then returned to immigration only to get another officer who proceeded to yell at us about why we couldn't extend our visa. We told him we understood (although I was more than ready to yell back) and that we'd apply for the FM3. He sent us to the Banjercito (the government bank) to pay the fees. Once all paid up we were back at immigration (again!) Since I was feeling feisty we decided it was best if T went up to immigration alone and I sat quietly reading my book. Playing the docile wife role I waited and steamed in the back of immigration until I saw T motioning for me to come up. Apprehensively I wandered up concerned that they would want to see all my papers too. I was stunned to see the same immigration official smiling and telling T that "there is another way". He sent us back to the bank to chance our fee payment and then issued Tom another 180 day tourist permit. No FM3...no leaving the country and most importantly no bribe. It was weird. We have no clue why they chose to help us but we are so happy that they did.
Then to make our last week in the Baja even better the small B&B we stayed in lowered our nightly rate from $100 to $65. Again, we are not too sure why they chose to do so but we were super pleased with that little gift as well.
We caught the ferry from Pichilingue which is about 24km outside of La Paz two nights ago and this is where things became rather trying. For some crazy reason the ferry leaves at 2am but you need to be there about two hours before. So T and I get there, pass through customs and then wait. We waited so long we both fell asleep in the car. Then we loaded the car on board but it is not a ferry where you drive in and drive straight off, there is only one entrance. So every vehicle, including semis, have to drive in and then reverse into their spot. It was chaos...but we managed to get the car in just fine and then we happily made our way to the cabins only to find a 45 minute lineup full of people waiting to get to there cabins. We finally arrived at our cabin at about 3:45am and managed to sleep through the stupid kids next to us pounding on the walls. After hours of restless sleep and line-ups we were so happy to get off that boat.
So now we are exploring Mazatlan and melting all at the same time. It is so hot that you sweat the minute you step outside...but at least we are not on a ferry.

working hard to not work
We managed a computer free weekend...no work and lots of play! Working on this project is harder that I think we both anticipated...it is hard to pull yourself away from work with a deadline looming and no content in sight. Working online and in Mexico is pretty awesome but maintaining our focus when there are beaches, restaurants and other fun things nearby make is difficult at times. But all I keep thinking is:
- in 2.5 months or so we will be free
- in 2.5 months we will be getting ready to immerse ourselves in Spanish
- in 2.5 months we won't be working!

I just want to check it off my list!
Sometimes little things are hard when you aren't living at home...usually the easier the task the harder it is to get it completed in a foreign country. T and I ran out today to rest our eyes from the computer and to get a few errands done:
easy right? Hell NO!
Laundry was easy the laundromat wasn't full so we chucked out clothes in and continued on our way ignorantly thinking that everything else would follow suit....sigh we are naive. Anyhow we picked out a hoodie for our nephew and then headed to the DHL outlet which really isn't a DHL but somehow couriered mail is sent and received there. We wanted to send the hoodie right away, we walked in the door and, in shockingly poor Spanish, explained we needed to send it. He told us that you cannot ship clothing out of Mexico. Sigh....we asked why and he mumbled something about terrorists. Ok whatever you say....
We had another small gift to send to Portland, it was teeny maybe 3" x 3" and cost about $10. After a few minutes on the phone and measuring our little package the post guy happily announced it would cost us $550 pesos..that is $55 US. We thanked him but decided that it wasn't worth it. UHHHH I also have some documents that need to get back home but I have decided to forgo messing around in our little town with DHL and will mail it next time I am in La Paz.
As far as getting my wetsuit fixed (since I am trying to learn to surf) we visited the tailor's kiosk about 4 times, each time he was not there. The other customer's told us "Un momento"...a moment puleasse...on the fifth time he was there and promised to get my suit done by tomorrow so all in all going back 5 times was worth it.
So we got some of out list done but now we have a kid-sized hoodie that cannot be sent out and can't be returned....but, on the positive-side, T tried it on. It was very, very tight and perhaps seeing that was worth the $10 and the hassles today.
- get my wetsuit fixed
- get laundry done
- pick up fresh veggies and fruit
- buy a gift for our nephew
- send a parcel and some mail

who the hell is still buying fannypacks?
While writing a post about poor tourist fashion choices I needed a photo to accompany the article. I really wanted a middle-aged old guy with a big belly sporting the horrendous fannypack. I dare you to type fannypack into google and just see what you come up with...there is a band called Fannypack, people bashing the 'pack' and then companies still manufacturing and selling fannypacks (frick...who knew people are still buying these...must be the same people who are still wearing scrunchies)
But my favourite was this.

Paco and Francois
I am stealing internet from a cafe below our little room. Who knew that travelling 4 years later would involve all this tech gear and the option of stealing wireless?
I am attempting to speak Spanish when I can here but I end up butchering it and then about 10 minutes later I think of the right way or a better way to say something. Luckily most of the people are receptive to us trying but there are a few who respond in English or say rude things in Spanish. But for the most part people let us try and that is all we can expect. I am worried that I won't pick it up quickly or at all, as it seems that all that learning has disappeared inside my brain to some dark corner where it is resting on an old couch, eating nachos and talking with the French lessons I took years ago.

somehow it always works out
So this is going to be a speedy catch up since I have been MIA for a few weeks.
Things are going well and we have started out on our adventure down south:
Things are going well and we have started out on our adventure down south:
- T and I managed to get just the design part of the job we were offered which means we will work on the road and set up a little apartment in Mexico until June. Once we get final approval on the design work we are free to travel with a bank account that will be a little fuller :)
- I am kung-fu chopped my student loans and am officially debt free HIIII YA!
- I finally signed up for Skype
- T and I managed to make all our possessions fit into the spaces offered by my parents
- We also managed to pack the car without everything exploding
- I actually managed to pack my clothes in a bag the same size as T's (I know I impressed myself)
- We left Calgary in a blizzard and managed to hit the highway just as it was opening
- I got a job working for a travel blog that actually pays me to write about our adventure
- And I love Vancouver

what to do?
i am feeling pulled in two different directions. we are supposed to be leaving in the next few weeks to go travelling and a work opportunity has come up which would be great but it will interfere with the travels we have planned. i am not sure what to do. thoughts?

D-O-N-E! Done.
The packing is done! (yes angels really are singing in the background). I am so relieved that it is finished. But all that exertion of packing up our life here, dragging boxes to the truck and then cramming them into storage really took it out of T and I. We have pretty much been zombies all week, which has been great for me as I have been able to tune out the Christmas jerks that have taken over the mall while I scramble to finish my shopping.
Now all I have to do is finish off work (my contract ends tomorrow) and I can sleep, eat, wrap gifts and watch Christmas movies till my eyes turn into squares. It really doesn't take that much to make me a happy gal...

a week to go
As of this Saturday we have one week..ONE WEEK to pack up the rest of the 3.5 years T and I have spent here. Part of me thinks good riddance but I have to admit that it has been good for both us though it is time for us to start a new adventure.
But seriously, ONE WEEK. Uhhh it is make me queasy just thinking about it. We did manage to get about 8 boxes to my folks place but there are still random piles of our stuff that somehow need to work their way into a box.
We have also accumulated an odd assortment of items which need to find a way out of our home and not into our storage, included are:

- a heated fish tank that T thought would be a good idea which actually turned into a massacre of 15 neon tetras
- a planter full of old corks (not mine) and
- a collection of empty Scotch bottle containers (again NOT mine)

patience is not my virtue
U2's Beautiful Day is playing on the radio at work and it is making think of the adventures to come. Of the sun on my face as T and I drive into the unknown. The taste of freedom is making it hard for me to focus on this Friday morning.

Weekend Update
The weekend starts for me tomorrow night when i fly to San Francisco with my mom. Yesterday I was not very excited but my feelings have changed as I browsed the SF tourism site. Museums, great food (wooo Sushi!) and lot of boutiques compounded by the kick-ass-ness of the Canadian dollar has helped. The only thing I am mildly stressed about is what to pack...or more honestly how many shoes is too many for a 4 day trip. The weather network shows cool temperatures and rain which is detrimental to my packing abilities. I think it is easier to pack for long trips than weekend trips...I only took 2 bags for a year in Japan but I feel like the suitcase I am taking to SF is way too big. Hmmm but I do plan to do a bit of shopping so it will probably be bursting on the way home to T's dismay. What? I can't help it, I love clothes the way gold member loves skin. (if you read this sis, you'll recall my perfect imitation of "i loooooovve clothes") a disgusting comparison perhaps but i think that same madness that we all saw in this character resembles my love of shoes, bag, clothes, scarves...righty then, this post has gone a bit askew but suffice to say i will be loving SF and all that is in it all the while experimenting with my new digital SLR!

ready...set....PACK!
Since I am usually rambly I am guessing this blog is going to be a combo of that side of me as well as a place for me to write about my travels which are going to start again soon! We are leaving in about 2.5 months for Central and South America...but before then we have a pile of stuff to do...
1 - Pack up the apartment
This has started! Well actually I have only chucked our CDs into a box so there is lots to do
2 - Take pictures of furniture, post online and (please please) sell furniture
We are getting rid of some dressers, a desk and a bookshelf....this does mean that for about 4 weeks our clothes will live on the floor, chairs, the back of doors...
3 - Sell my beloved Ford Aspire a.k.a "Bobby Assfire"
I did not think I would care but I am more than a little sad to think I won't be speeding around in this car again.
4 - Try and get my Spanish ability moving forward
With all this other stuff going on I have been slacking on studying
5 - Get T and I vaccinated.
I hate needles. T hates them more than I do...good times.
6 - Eat everything in the pantry
Ok maybe not the seriously old looking vermicelli noodles that I cannot recall buying...but I hate throwing out food so we are going to attack that pantry with voracious appetites for all things canned, pickled and possibly unrecognizable.
Though I am getting a bit panicky that 6 weeks is not enough time for us to get ready and out of our apartment it is a good excitement.

like a polaroid picture
so as the kids in my family are leaving or have left (as my sis has) the family decided we should have some pictures taken. somewhere in the late 80s (ha this sounds so ominous) we had family portraits taken. my mother decided that my sister and i should be wearing the same dresses (which were black velvet with high cream satin collars and itchy...i hated it but i think it was because i hated being dressed like my sis. she loved it..ask her...she did!) anyhow we never had any professional family pictures taken again. so my brother, who is 16, has never been recorded as a member of our clan. actually he could care less it was more my mom and i thinking it might be a nice idea. so on monday night we all met at a local park and had some photos taken. it was nice, the photographers had us doing crazy stuff like skipping, chicken fighting and dog-piling on each other. yep, no stuffy more photographs for this family. so i am hoping that there are some good ones in the batch, they did take some individual pictures but they didn't give us much direction and i am sure i will look like a tool in them. t, on the other hand, broke out some modeling moves...who knew?
i am so looking forward to the long weekend coming up, i have tacked on a few more days to turn it into a mini vacation. i booked t and i in for a massage on friday night which i cannot wait for and then we head off to BC for a family thanksgiving celebration where we will golf, relax in the hots springs and eat way too much. (i usually forget to leave room for pumpkin pie but i cram it in anyway then spend the rest of the evening on the couch recovering). WEEEEEEEE!
here is my question why is it so expensive to fly in canada? on oct 12 i am joining t in toronto for yes, another long weekend. he has to be out there for work so all i have to do is get there and i can stay for free! i even got to pick a very nice hotel for us. i was trying to book my flight for one weekend, ONLY TWO DAYS, and it cost $900. i was bummed and figured i couldn't go...well i decided i wouldn't go as the cost was insane. but t convinced me to take the monday after off...i did...and it saved about $450, i am not kidding...24 hours later the flight drops to half the cost. that is ridiculous. honestly it is crazy that i could fly to bangkok for about the same amount of money. not to mention that i would probably spend less in two weeks there than two days in toronto! no wonder i have barely seen any of my home country...hey canada isn't our dollar kicking ass right now how about some cheap flights so people will spend their money in our great nation and not the states. sorry americans, no offense.

just throw it out the window
t and i are coming up on our 2 year anniversary and i have been thinking a lot about marriage and partnerships. i am so lucky. he really is a constant source of support for me and i know that i am very lucky that someone can deal with all my moods. not only is he sweet and kind, he makes me laugh harder than anyone i know and we share an unusual affliction that causes us to do rather odd things. for example one day, after i had moved in with him in japan after knowing him for a total of 1 week, (which is really crazy in itself when i think about it) we were lounging about his one-room apartment and i had this urge to throw my toast out the window and, boy, did i whip that bread out the window. then without any hesitation t sent a banana soaring out the window right after my toast! then he muttered in his kiwi accent "yep, they needed to be thrown" and i totally agreed. it makes me laugh even now. who else can you throw stuff out the window with and then whole heartedly agree that it HAD to go. among other amazing traits he might be the only person in the world i can travel with, we have managed to make it through India and all the umm...interesting illnesses that can come with it...like t's possible case of malaria and a 5 day period of us tag teaming the bathroom due to Delhi belly (it is funny now, although at the time i thought we would die of dysentery in the Himalayas).
and i am looking forward to our future travels and adventures. and i guess that is what is pretty cool after 5 years, i really look forward to spending time with him even though i see him everyday. so to my hubby...you really are the best.

daily life drowning
i am feeling pretty overwhelmed at the moment, my life seems to have taken on a form of all work and all play but no kels time. i feel stretched to the max and although i am usually more than happy to be busy, i feel like i am on the edge of a burnout. i know, it seems crazy but I really feel that trying to do it all… work, see friends, see family, see husband added to the constant pressure i am putting on myself to start discovering what i really want to do is making me pretty tired these days.
it might be a case of be careful what you wish for i guess, i made the decision last week to talk to my boss about possibly trying some other things at work which she seemed pretty receptive to, which is awesome, but it will be a busy and hectic year for me judging by this past week. this brings me to my alone time. i am a person who recharges by being alone. hanging out in sweats and watching movies that i love (amelie or the princess bride), knitting,, reading…anything really as long as i am in my own company. i love my friends and family tonnes but i really need my own space. lately it has been non-stop with weeks full of work and weekends full of family, friends and errands. i am craving some down time but it is nowhere to be seen…for example tonight i have a baby shower and tomorrow night a stagette.
i am not complaining but i sort of need a bit of time to reflect and continue to move to towards to goal of learning more about myself and how i want to live my life. my fear is to wake up 80 and wonder why i did not take risks or wonder what if….i want to get out there and experience all there is but i must admit that at times I get scared. it would be so easy to stay in one place and never leave but i know that if i did that i would cheating myself by settling for the easy route.
T called me a gypsy the other day maybe i am. my desire to move is instinctual like i need change to experience life fully…i blame this on the fact that for my first 4 or 5 birthdays i was not in the country (another way to blame my folks ha ha ha). maybe the travel addiction is built in…regardless i feel it bubbling inside. i am trying to keep it to a simmer but it is threatening to boil over. Maybe some “me” time will quiet it at least for now….
