Christmas with Julie and Sophie - a bit ahead of time


Last night we had our family Christmas celebration, by Skype, with our daughters, Julie and Sophie. Julie's companion, Dan was there, but Sophie's love, Nick, was still in Vancouver. A year ago we were in Costa Rica for Christmas, the girls and us, but no boyfriend.

Julie was proud to have prepared steaks for Sophie and Dan, as she enjoyed fresh salmon. It reminded us of the family gathering we used to have in Oakville.

It was a happy moment as we discussed our plans to go to Attitash, NH in March, with them and their friends. They offered us a very nice coupon for a spa or other nice personal treatment. Thanks.

We also chat about our own plans for Christmas, in Mexico. It was a pleasure to be there together by 'phone'. Next year we will need to plan for getting together in Mexico.

Today is 'organisation' day, getting the last minute stuff, starting to prepare the trailer; I put new tires on the truck last week. It is exciting and I know we will get the adrenalin going for the next few days. 

My concern is where to spend the nights with the trailer, as we have no information on the Pemex gas stations. We need to remember that we have to make gas every 3 hours or so. But lucky as we are, we will find safe resting spots, I know.
