Only 10 more sleeps, but who is counting?

Bajagypsy - 4-21-2009 at 06:03 AM

Only ten more sleeps till the gypsy caravan leaves the cold north, to head south to our new house!

Can't wait, Work to do on the house, but thats ok! If you see a big red 4x4 diesel dodge, with a bunch of blonds sitting it, stop by and say hi!

If anyone is in the vacinicty of Asuncion, stop by to say Hello!

Hi Gypsy,

I'll be on the road around the same time. If I see your red Dodge coming south as we're going north...I'll wave a welcome to you. We can all feel your excitement to get back to your new place. Great times! You'll enjoy many, many years of Baja-time at your new Asuncion paradise......believe me, I know.

Have a safe trip..and hope to see everybody at Asuncion when we go a little walkabout next year.

Bajaboy - 4-21-2009 at 07:36 AM

How long will you be in Asuncion? Unfortunately, we won't be down until July.

shari - 4-21-2009 at 07:43 AM

Oh oh...I'd better start training now with a bloody mary for breakfast and margarita for lunch I guess!!!! Be safe grasshoppers!

DianaT - 4-21-2009 at 08:04 AM

Let's see, you are leaving in 10 days and with the way you have been known to travel, that should put you in Bahia Asuncion in 12 days---one day to get across the United States, and one day to get to BCS. :lol:

Seriously, do have a safe trip and remember there are surprises in the road out of Vizcaino and on the road into Bahia Asuncion.

Diane

shari - 4-21-2009 at 08:06 AM

that's right...the pot holes out of Vizcaino are nasty and it's best to go off the road...use the side road to avoid them...drive slow and they come up real fast...there is also a big dip on the new pavement that can also get you airborne if you are driving your normal speed!

fixtrauma - 4-21-2009 at 08:10 AM

I say a big WHOO HOO for you! We just completed a drive down on the 8th. So great to be on Hwy 1 again.

Will be looking for reports from you!

Bajagypsy - 4-21-2009 at 10:26 AM

Shari, you better get training, it has been WAY to long!

Diane, Thanx for the heads up about the road, we will be carefull!

Nena, not sure yet, I have to go down and look around and see what color suits it!

woody with a view - 4-22-2009 at 06:20 AM

thanks for rubbing it in!!!!!

BigWooo - 4-22-2009 at 06:34 AM

Enjoy!...what a great feeling seeing your new home for the first time. I love the smell of the fresh concrete and wood the first time you walk through the door.

Now the fun begins...painting, landscaping, digging, filling, plumbing, installing, dragging, lifting and looking all over town for that little fitting no one seems to have and you forgot. :tumble:

baitcast - 4-22-2009 at 06:35 AM

I envy you a whole bunch,Woody where you headed ?

If I dye my hair blond, can I catch a ride ?? :lol:

I'm good with electric and plumbing !! :biggrin:

I am SO green with envy !!

shari - 4-23-2009 at 08:14 AM

Mitamita says not to forget a big bag of kitty food for her! Isnt she cool...love the racing stripes on her hind leg! and gotta love the half and half face....

Heather - 4-23-2009 at 08:17 AM

Gorgeous kittie!! My cat, Mia, is similar, but has grey instead of the black, more of a blending as opposed to the striking contrasts here with your Mitamita! H.

docsmom - 4-23-2009 at 08:59 AM

Oh my gosh Shari, looks like that kitty was put together with spare parts! Love it! What is "Mitamita" in espanol please?

Gypsys, I'm with Diver, I can be blonde in about 40 minutes, and can make a great pescado veracruz. Can I catch a ride? I'll buy the Don Julio! You're heading down to live the realization of your dream, how wonderful! My thoughts will be with you and I'm hoping to live vicariously through your posts............

Drive safely and and please send updates for those of us that are landlocked and jonesing.
Kathy

shari - 4-23-2009 at 09:04 AM

Well Mom...mitamita means half and half!! pretty good name for this little meesh (kitty) dontcha think? But I'm loving the spare parts idea...maybe her middle name could be Yonke (junkyard)!

Bajagypsy - 4-23-2009 at 09:45 AM

Yonke is mine, all mine!!!!

Anyone who dye's there hair blond is welcome to come!!!!

Barbareno - 4-24-2009 at 04:49 AM

Bajagypsy you are going to have so much fun. We left our blender there and your welcome to use it. Only one button works but thats all you need to make a Margarita right?

Barb

Bajagypsy - 4-24-2009 at 06:01 AM

Barb you are the best!!!! Wish you were coming down at the same time!!! Now that would be a party :dudette:

55steve - 4-27-2009 at 05:01 PM

Sunday morning (May 3rd) - Headed to our place at BoLA. I'm a happy guy! We'll be in a white Jeep Cherokee towing a 17' center console Invader.

Bajagypsy - 4-27-2009 at 06:17 PM

Very jelous that people are already on their way! only 5 more sleeps!

docsmom - 4-27-2009 at 08:45 PM

Shari,
Mitamita, perfect name for her face! Love those Mitamita face kitties!
But I've never seen a cat with that crazy leg marking. Ya gotta name this one Yonke (perfect!) and save Mitamita for another one. Ya?
Gypsy,
I hope you're really gonna adopt this kitty. I'll be waiting for stories and pix.
Drive safely and share lots of stories and pix.
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
Docsmom

Bajagypsy - 4-28-2009 at 06:07 AM

I will do a trip report at least everyday, or try to if Shari doesn't try to kill me with margie's!!!

We are going to adopt this beautiful kitty, can't go to Baja without adopting an animal!

Bajagypsy - 4-29-2009 at 08:26 PM
