Mexico! I’m Missing Mexico!

Just not this moment, just not today, I miss being there a lot of my time.

So, why ain’t I back there?

Well, I realized when I was living there that there was more of this world to explore so, pack up and came back to the states before heading out to Europe.

Even while in Europe I missed being in Mexico. Yeah, I was exploring and meeting new friends but, I missed the Caribbean, the jungles, the laid back life style, the cheap beer and inexpensive food along with the friends and acquaintances I made. But, I wanted to see more of this world and I did!

Now, I’m back in the U.S. again and after much consideration I purchased a used RV (Recreational Vehicle) to explore parts of America in a manner that I haven’t before…and I’m excited about that. But, at the same time, I keep an eye on flights for a visit back to Mexico. While I’d like to visit for at least a month, I’d take a week or two.

I miss that beautiful Caribbean water and all the locals!!!

Yet, while I’m missing Mexico and my U.S. touring is slightly delayed for some vehicle repair, I’m also looking at some flights back to Europe. Then, just as just now, I’m realizing I still haven’t been to the Far East!!!! And, I want some of that action too!!!!

Right now…..my pockets aren’t that deep. Hehehehehe!

I do my traveling a little bit different than a regular tourist in that I don’t frequent to usual tourist places like tourist do. I look for where I can experience the local atmosphere and get a taste of what life is like in the different countries.

I’m Missing Mexico….

One of the things about wanting to return to Europe for me is that I did it wrong the first time.

So, what did I do that was wrong you may ask.

Well, I went in the off season and while that wasn’t necessarily wrong what was wrong was that I didn’t apply for a Visa to allow me to stay in the Schengen countries (most of Europe) in excess of 90 days! With the Visa I could have stay the whole year. So, I was limited to 90 days to ‘casually’ see the Schengen countries which are…..well, it’s Western and Central Europe for the most part.

But, I did find out how cheap it is to stay and visit in the ‘Eastern Block’. Winter time is a different experience too as some places have turned into ‘Ghost Towns’. I stayed right outside Dubrovnik, Croatia for 3 weeks at an abandoned resort that was by all means a ‘Ghost Town’. Different. Right now all the ‘Jet Set’ folks are there with their mega-yatchs. Wish I could be there now….

So, yeah, I’m missing Mexico but, I’d love to do that visit again….like right now.

And then, I’m a beach person so I’m homesick for my Florida. A bit more expensive than living in Mexico (well, a lot more expensive than living in Mexico) but, I’ve my beach life to consider. While Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama have coastline and some beaches, it’s not the same as the beaches in Florida.

I’m missing Mexico…

There’s just so much excitement in this world to experience and like a kid, I don’t wanna miss out on any of it….

I know, I’ll get back down to Mexico for sure in the near future. While it may not be for the extended time that I’d like it to be….eventually I’ll have my longer stays.

I’ll be back….

Peace, love, and beaches,
