So a few days have gone by----

Court and I had an amazing time in Mexico - Could not have been better -

This island was magical. I have never been to a place where stress and worry seem to just melt away..
So different from Cancun.. Where our hotel concierge tried to push us to try the new OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE down the road when we asked for someplace "Good and authentic."

Holbox is one of those places where you leave your shoes, blackberry, and watch on the boat when you arrive. There is no use for them there. As one of our guides said, "There are two times here.. Day and night."

I came back feeling like I had taken a year off...I haven't worn a watch since. Which I suppose is why I have been staying away from this blog for a while. As my life in the states seemed for the first time in months relaxed, the reality of our situation and move to Provence has seemingly been in a constant decline.

The Visa issues have been discussed earlier in the blog, so no point in reiterating that point. In fact, I cant really pinpoint what is making this move seem more difficult.. There has been no "new" news.. Which in a sense is both good and bad. However, my impending last day of work is creeping up on us, and with a last day of work, comes a last day of paychecks.

I originally jumped the gun, and assumed we would be leaving Sept 1st. I would stop work August 15th, and spend the next 2 weeks packing and moving us to our awaiting storage unit. then we would get on a plane and leave. Now however, we have no idea when we will in fact be leaving.

As I said, none of this is really 'new' news.... I suppose we jumped the gun on resigning our jobs and buying plane tickets. I dont know what is making it feel so difficult. Perhaps it is the reality of the situation.. The coping tactic of "it will work itself out" which seemed so effective months ago, is no longer reliable.

I know that getting off the place in Provence will make this all worth it....
