Hello all,

So, I depart from Charlotte at 7pm on Wednesday, just two short days from now, and I'll be flying in to Dallas, where I'll be picked up by my always entertaining and incredibly wonderful Uncle Scott! We'll have a nice little reunion that night before I fly out at 9AM the next morning and land in sunny, expensive Cancun! From there I'll take a bus to Playa del Carmen, and from Playa, yet another bus to Akumal. Once I'm in Akumal, I'll make the short walk to Lucy's restaurant, and wait for her to get off work... at which point we'll head to Rancho Mariposa! She's still got four other workers staying with her at the moment, which I'm really excited about. It'll be nice to have some company in the first few days/weeks... folks that can give me an idea of what life consists of at Lucy's ranch. At this point, I'm just packing, repacking, wandering aimlessly around for lack of anything better to do, and continuing to have my sleep interrupted each night by a whole mess of anxiety, stress, apprehension and excitement. :)

More to come! I hope everyone is doing well.

Love,

Suzy
