Hello jkhanson~ Nice to meet you!
Sounds fun...your Mexico moving trip, or should I say, roadtrip with your sister in law. Quite a big move in my opinion. I lived in Mexico when I was 19 for about 6 months with a friend of mine. My parents said I could go because I did so well in school and that I needed a break. It was fun and I had a blast. I worked in a Mexician restaurant there and learnt the language so it had added bonuses!...LOL
Well, I really don't know what else to say....my mind is on other things....so I will tell you Good Luck and Have Fun! Hope to see you again when you come back to earn more money @ FC!!
Hello workmama and Chat Room members....
I'm not sure how to find each member who asked about my recent "road trip". Here is a little update:
I left Minnesota on 10/8 for Iowa. On 10/9 my sister-in-law and I started out driving to Mexico from northwest Iowa. I drove a 3 ton truck filled with her household belongings.
It took 3 days to get to Laredo, TX. On 12/12 we crossed into Mexico. We met our guide--He was such a BLESSING!! He spoke wonderful English and he took over the driving!
It took 2 more days to get from the border to her new town, Tequisquiapan, Queretaro, Mexico.
Like workmama, I had a blast. The people were very friendly. It is definitely a different lifestyle and Margaret will have much adjusting to do as she settles in. Her house/apartment is nice.
We visited the Plaza Shopping Center of her town....within walking distance. We also visited the Market where many people go every Monday to buy their fruits, vegetables, and meat. They sold EVERYTHING there!!
I speak no Spanish, but was able to get along ok. I would definitely learn Spanish if I were to move there!
We found a little internet cafe that charged 8 pesos per hour to use the internet. I missed being able to log into FusionCash, but I knew my account would be in jeopardy if I did because you can only log into FC from your home computer.
I am back home and trying to catch up!
It is good to be back!
I
