7/3/16 Update time. We’re getting closer. We leave in 21 days (July 24). We’ve gotten rid of almost everything we need to get rid of. Our international cell phone will be here this week. Our plans have changed a bit. Instead of heading straight to Yucatan / Quintana Roo, we’re going to the Sea of Cortex first and check out San Carlos and Bahia de Kino in Sonora. We rented a place in Marina Real for the month of August. That’s about as far ahead as we’re thinking. We found the place on VRBO and then booked it through SeasideMexico.com. We spoke to Elba at the 602-888-9113 number. She was very helpful in English and Spanish. We bought a new GPS for the car, since the one we’ve had for ten years or so shows us driving where there are no roads most of the time. We also got a Spot Messenger so you will be able to see our route on the Track Us page (which will be added as soon as we figure out how to do that). Things we still have to do:

• Get Mexican Auto Insurance
• Renew our tags so they don’t expire while we’re traveling
• Do a dry run of packing the car with empty luggage so there are no night before departure surprises

That’s about all I can think of at the moment. Seeya soon!
