Some see safety in numbers, some are totally unfamiliar with traveling Mexico and wanted to travel with a group, some like having things all planned out for them, some a combination of the above reasons.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-20188054346560734112018-03-11T12:32:44.552-04:002018-03-11T12:32:44.552-04:00Ruth and Kevin, Why have the people in your tour g...Ruth and Kevin, Why have the people in your tour group chosen to see Mexico in a tour group, have any shared this information?

We are sad that we can't be with the group and show them some of the neat places that they could see at the next two locations on their tour but we have sent along a list of things to see and do so hopefully they will love the area there as much as us. Once we are on the road we will take a slightly different route to get to where we hope to meet up with them at the beach.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-37450343058251171282018-03-11T11:32:22.596-04:002018-03-11T11:32:22.596-04:00Thanks!Thanks!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-82558645562842626282018-03-11T11:21:42.230-04:002018-03-11T11:21:42.230-04:00Good news to hear that you think that Moog parts a...Good news to hear that you think that Moog parts are superior too, that just makes us feel all the more better about our decision to go with them.<br /><br />Kevin is very interested in seeing how the system works as well.

We are just happy that all the organized tours are over which makes things much easier with us not being able to be with the group. We are however giving them lots of information of things to see in the town of Patzcuaro and in the neighbouring communities so I am sure they won''t have trouble keeping themselves busy.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-56132943606972248732018-03-11T10:23:28.784-04:002018-03-11T10:23:28.784-04:00I just love how you are rolling with the punches. ...I just love how you are rolling with the punches.
