2008; another year has elapsed. It was a fairly eventful one. We bought a house and we sold a house. We went to Iceland twice, and the UAE and Oman once. Sarah also spent time in the US over the summer. It wasn’t quite the three months on the road that we’d aimed for, but it wasn’t bad, either. All of our trips were highly enjoyable.
This year will see the birth of our second child, the consequences of which should make the rest of the year as eventful as we could possibly want it to be… and beyond.
Once that happens, we’ll be temporarily immobilised, of course, so we’re starting this year as we did the last one, namely with an immediate trip.
Taking advantage of our current geographical location (east coast of the US), we’ll be flying down to Mexico tomorrow, to Cancún on the Yucatán peninsula. We’ll spend just a single night in Cancún before moving on.
It’ll be a short trip, just ten days, as we don’t want Eloïse to miss too much peuterspeelzaal. We’ll drive around, hang out at the beach, visit Mayan ruins and, of course, eat lots of good Mexican food.
With a bit of luck, there will be cheap WiFi access somewhere and I’ll be able to post some details of our travels.
In the meantime, our Christmas photos are now on-line.
If you make it over to Merida, we have free wireless in the parks now. Plus, this is the 466th Anniversary of the Founding of the City of Merida… 1,000 artists, musicians, dancers, and actors in 170 FREE shows between the 5th and 21st of January. Check out the Events column on Yucatan Living to see what’s going on – and let us know if you’re headed our way. We’ll see what we can do to make your visit to the State of Yucatan a memorable one.
