Shuffling gear without bikes can be cumbersome when you do not have suitcases! On the passenger ferry crossing over to Cancun.

Our first leg has touched down in Texas and we have 6 hours to squander till our next connection.  As I sit in the airport lounge looking out over the neatly groomed grounds of the Houston Airport…a feeling passes over me now that we are on US soil…Life seems so clean, neatly wrapped and packed here…. Funny…I'm not sure that I like it!  I have to admit that I enjoyed the ease and speed of flight, along with comforts of the inflight entertainment and felt somewhat advantaged to be watching a pretty cool movie in English.  I savored this soothing feeling of appreciation, holding onto it though out the entire movie while realizing at the same time, how very privileged I was to be experiencing this emotion!  Gee…This all sounds so very very deep, maybe it has something to do with waking up at 3:33am?

Here we are in Seattle and I am super excited that we have decided to take this quick break and visit with our family for Easter.  Apart from spending time with family we somehow have a full agenda once again.  We rent a car and set out picking up parts for the bikes, supplies for our travels and supplies for others…and before you can say "Bob's your uncle!" (which he is!).…our week is up and we are heading back to Mexico!
