Island living coming to an end.

Hello!

Well, our time in Guanaja is coming to an end.  I knew the past few months would fly by and they have.  We're packing, repacking and packing again.  We found that shipping to Guanaja was quite easy but shipping back to the states; isn't so.  We use Fernandez Express out of Houston but unfortunately they do not have a "import" license back to the States.  Fortunately, we really don't have that much.

We leave Guanaja on the 22nd of February; but, before heading back to Houston we're going to stop in Utila for a week to visit our friends there.  We're looking forward to seeing them.   Here on Clark Cay; it's not so relaxing right now.  The Pullum's are here with their guests and I've been cooking away.  I'm ready to hand over the reigns to the new caretakers. 

We'll be arriving in Houston on March 2nd.  Can't wait to see our family and friends.  We plan to spend a week in Tahoe do a little skiing and lots of gambling and then gather a few belongings and head down to Mazatlan Mexico mid April.

Now some of you are having some concerns with our decision to live in Mexico.  Please don't.  We know of all the problems with cartels and drug wars going on.  Believe it or not; Mexico is a country!  The problems you hear about from that wonderful media of yours, is around the border areas.   Turn that crap off!  By now, you should know that the media LOVES to report that absolute worst areas, crimes, & catastrophes.  I shared this article with my facebook friends and I'll share it with you too.  This article is actually written by a US journalist and FINALLY someone got it right.  http://mazmessenger.com/2010/07/02/one-us-journalist%e2%80%99s-nonconformist-view-of-mexico/

Well my friends and family, we have a Farewell Party to attend to.
We look forward to seeing and giving everyone BIG hugs when we get back to Texas. 

Love,
Bonnie & Bob

I think the worst thing that will happen to you guys is Bob's golf score in mazatlan.
