We had quite a bit of
mailing, bills, and paperwork to take care of, as well as some
U.S. shopping, and were planning a drive up to Laredo to TCB.
With the holiday season approaching and sentimentality levels
running high, and with some logistics to overcome regarding
getting 'stuff' from and to Michigan, we decided to just fly up
to the wintery wonderland to visit friends and family and take
care everything we needed to do. Besides spending a lot of
time shopping, we did get to spend quality time with our
families, and also go out for celebratory drinks with Chris &
Jacque, who announced their intentions to wed. Of course,
there were ridiculously colder than average temperatures and
plenty of snow, and we were excited to know that we'd be
spending the rest of the winter back in our warm and sunny
Mexican homes. |
