Housing Update and New Plan
It’s official – we are staying in Puerto Morelos (in our current house) through March 2027! Any and all are welcome to book a quick trip – just let us know to block the time! We are located 20-minutes from the Cancun airport and have a sweet minivan to pick you up! Our original plan…

Daily Life in Progress…
I am being asked – where is the blog?!? Well, it’s here but I haven’t felt the need to tell you how boring we have become. We go to the market, we go to the beach, we hang in the pool, we attend local events, I am cooking more and we are planning for our…

How We Made This Happen
Planning. Lots of planning. Since we made the decision we wanted to retire early and move to Mexico quite some time ago, it gave us time to research and form a plan. I’d slowly been getting rid of “stuff” before I moved in with Danny, got rid of more over the next few years, bought…

We are moving to Mexico!
It is with mixed emotions that we officially announce our retirements and move to Mexico. We are continuing the next chapter of our lives on January 13, 2026. We sold our house. We sold 90% of everything we owned; furniture, household items, clothing, etc. The car is next (if you know of anyone). Finally, we…
