Time to Go to the States

Today is the day. I am nervous about the trip. Just my anxieties acting up. I am not a good traveler. But I am looking forward to seeing my family again. The weather should be very nice in Portland now. This is my favorite time of year up there. No more winter visits to my family.

Of course, I am taking too much stuff. George Carlin was right in his skit on stuff on you tube. We all have too much stuff and it ties us down. I have never been able to travel without taking a huge suitcase. This time it is filled with gifts for my family and friends.

Several people in Portland have contacted me about us meeting up when I got up there. I have misplaced those e mails. Please e mail me if you are one of those misplaced contacts.  I thank everyone who comments on my blog. Comments are always a blessing to me....... That is why I keep on writing and taking photos.

  1. Well, since you value your comments, I will be the first commenter today. Have a safe trip and a wonderful time with your family. My son and his wife are there in Portland now. They bought an RV last year and spent 6 months traveling before returning home for six months. He works remotely (he's a techie) and it allows them this freedom. They have friends in Portland and love it there. I am happy they get this opportunity at such a young age. They don't have to wait until retirement age like the rest of us to do what they want!!!

    1. Thank you Connie for commenting. Sounds like a great life. Maybe in the future more people will be able to live like that. One thing that I didn't anticipate was that when I would finally have the financial freedom to travel, I would not be in good enough health to enjoy it. Thank you again. P

  2. Enjoy your trip - all the types of food you can't get in Ajijic, shopping, friends, even TV. Enjoy your time with your son and daughter-in-law!
    See you when you return!

  3. I agree with you that there are few places in the world with summers as delightful as Oregon. I am headed north at the end of the month to deliver a speak in Powers -- in southern Oregon. When I return, I am hitting the road for the highlands: San Miguel, Guanajuato, and any other stops that pop into my mind. It will give me a chance to see mote of Mexico -- and to get away from the sleepless nights on the coast.

    1. Thanks for commenting Steve. If you get over my way, I would love to meet you. You told a mutual friend that you had met me in some town in Mexico that I have never been. That wasn't me..... P

    1. HI Min, Thank you for commenting. I send you a prayer for your healing from the loss of your mother. I know what you are going through. It is probably one of the most difficult times in our lives. I still miss my mother and she has been gone for six years now. P

  5. Thank you so much for the good wishes Collette. I am in Portland now. It was an easy trip. I did all that worrying for nothing, but isn't that always the case? P
