We are happy to hear that you are enjoying our adventures. I can certainly see meeting up with new friends at each anchorage, it must be something like Rving, you all have something in common. For us, meeting all these people are what makes our travels extra special and provides us with so many beautiful memories.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-70013752555302268292013-07-26T21:42:51.307-04:002013-07-26T21:42:51.307-04:00You are right Barb, once our children have childre...You are right Barb, once our children have children it gets much harder and more expensive for them to travel and really it is easier for us to fit the time in for them. <br /><br />We totally understand where you are coming from in this and yes, we never know what life is going to deal us and things can change quickly. We will be thinking hard on what our plans will be for the following summer.<br /><br />I hope you are really enjoying your time with family and are able to truly relax, having to not worry about the campground back in Mexico. It must fill like a big weight of your shoulders. Say hi to all the girls for us.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-56708202715831209772013-07-26T21:35:51.255-04:002013-07-26T21:35:51.255-04:00You are right it is hard to fit in the whole famil...You are right it is hard to fit in the whole family but really ours is fairly small so it makes it much easier. When I young I only got to see my relatives about once every 5 or so years because they were all in England. I loved my trips there but I really wished that I could have spent more time with my grandparents so I want to make sure that our grandchildren see us at least once a year. We are lucky that we don't have a "home" as such so we can always arrange to spend more time closer to her and her little family in the coming years.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-87030350278341716722013-07-26T21:29:17.634-04:002013-07-26T21:29:17.634-04:00Travel is fun and we really enjoy it but sure miss...Travel is fun and we really enjoy it but sure miss the family as well.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-83331968055649847402013-07-26T21:28:23.189-04:002013-07-26T21:28:23.189-04:00Love you too and it won't be too long before w...Love you too and it won't be too long before we get to see you!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-80078519732431448552013-07-26T21:27:46.239-04:002013-07-26T21:27:46.239-04:00Yes, there will always be the memories and we cert...Yes, there will always be the memories and we certainly have lots of them.<br /><br />Some of the people we have met we know will never make it to see us in Canada because of many things, so for some it isn't an excuse it is life.

The cruising life is made up not only of sailing but meeting new friends at each anchorage, greeting old friends at each anchorage and tears of goodbye's at each anchorage.

That is one of the reasons we have decided to give up living in Mexico full time. We want to spend more time closer to the kids and grandkids. So... we will be living in Mexico every year from November till the end of April, then either living in Illinois, or visiting kids or traveling the other 6 months. <br /><br /> Trust me, you never know how bad you will miss your family till something happens. It doesn't hurt to designate a few months out of the year to them, or just being nearby in case you are needed. Life is constantly changing, needs change and plans can change too. The main thing is to do what makes you happiest, and if that changes along the road, go with it. Love yas.

Live your life to the fullest and maybe it might only be a one time meeting of a friend.

It's give and take. Sometimes the others have to reciprocate and travel to see you. And we have all heard the excuses why it can't happen; no money, no time, fear of flying, fear of Canada (:)) etc.<br /><br />We have a large family and all my siblings are much older than I am. They have their own lives, children and grandchildren. But it's always, "you're the one who lives in another country". <br /><br />That's how life is. living.boondockingmexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157433834193440923noreply@blogger.com
