Last week at this time I was busily preparing to go to Nicaragua with my neighbour.
I had left Zihuatanejo on Sunday morning and arrived home Sunday afternoon. Then I was busy getting last minute things ready, paying bills, cutting grass, etc.
My trip was aborted as I did not do my homework thoroughly enough. I had checked on line to see if I needed a visa but on the site I looked at, it said no visa for a 2 week stay but of course I needed a valid passport. Having not traveled overseas in about 10 years, I was not up to date on all the new regulations or perhaps they are old regulations. My passport was valid for a further 3 months but Nicaragua requires a passport valid for 6 months....it was a no go for me. The lesson learned is that a valid passport means something different depending on your nationality and the country to which you are traveling.
I am over my snit about this and will be very happy to join Bob and Patches on the boat.
Tomorrow I will return to Zihua to join Bob on the boat. My plan is to return on Sunday with the dog and the car...but these are tentative plans!!!
This will be my last blog on this site as I will be doing my updates on Facebook. If you want to keep in touch check us out on Facebook
