But before we went for lunch, we recorded a video with them that should be available at some point over the next week or two.
It was an interesting interview because we don't fit into any particular group. We're not expats, and yet we are keeping a fulltime house in Mexico. We don't fit into the full time travel group right now either. And we love the RV lifestyle, but we're also not doing that on a full time basis right now.
I asked chatGPT what type of travelers we are, and it came up with hybrid travelers! So, that is a new term that accurately describes us...
"Kevin and Ruth are slow, flexible lifestyle travelers who combine extended stays, house sitting, motorhome travel, and backpack style trips without identifying as expats or full time nomads. They travel in whatever way makes sense at the time."
And, Mike and Louise were there with us. They will also be interviewed at some point soon. Coincidentally, they are moving next month and they'll be located just around the corner from Warren and Julie and their three dogs.

That's the mountain we attempted to climb the other day.
One of their three dogs is Katie.
She's fifteen and a half years old, and the poor thing just lost an eye.
The six of us had a good lunch with lots of interesting conversation.
Monday morning, we have a 7:45am flight to Quito. We're only there for two nights, but that will give us enough time to see the highlights. Then Wednesday morning we have an early flight to Manta and our evening flights back to Mexico City. So four different airplanes over the next four days!

Great deal on this Queen Mattress Topper.
And in Canada...
Hybrid travelers - I like that! and can identify!
ReplyDeleteWe like that term too, we think it describes us pretty well!
DeleteWhat do you consider an ex-pat?
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting question. To me, an expat is someone who lives in and has official residency in a country other than their home citizenship.
DeleteHope you guys will be able to get back to Mexico with no problems.
ReplyDeleteWe don't head back to Mexico until Wednesday evening so hopefully things will have calmed down a bit by then. Should our flight into Mexico City get canceled then we will just spend some time in Panama, we aren't worried and will just go with the flow.
DeleteBetter check to see if Mexican airports are open.
ReplyDeleteWe have checked already and at the moment the only airports that are affected are Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara. We fly into Mexico City and so far things are fine there.
