Maybe the whirlwind exodus wasn’t the best idea…

 I’m sitting here, on the eve of our arrival to Las Cruces, absolutely exhausted and thinking about how I could have managed this exodus better. I thought I had everything set up so perfectly and was amazed that it’s all fallen into place. It all worked just as planned - I was holding my breath and counting my lucky stars and giving copious amounts of thanks…but I truly manifested this entire thing and the universe and all the wonderful people in our lives participated and helped us get to tomorrow. But, we are exhausted! Coming off of a 3 week cold and having to drive 2,200 miles in 12 days shlepping stuff in and out of the car, how many times?! Well, let’s see! 

First Stop - Loreto, Coco’s Cabanas - great big fridge

Second  Stop - Ignacio Springs B&B, 2 nights - no fridge, ice maintenance

Third Stop - Debb & Mike’s in San Felipe, 2 nights - huge fridge and freezer, major haul in of coolers

Fourth Stop - Cousin Cher’s in Indio, 4 nights - major haul in of everything, change suitcase for cooler temps

Fifth Stop - Blas and Amanda’s in Tucson - was gifted a bag of ice so we could do cooler maintenance

Sixth Stop - Eddie’s casa in Albuquerque, 2 nights - fuck the coolers!!

Tomorrow night - home for the next five-six months!!

We got to see the fam in Palm Desert and I spent time with Justice, Lauryn did our hair, and took us out for the best burgers ever at Cowboy Cantina. Cher and I got to hang out a lot, which was the best, and she took me to a Bruno Mars cover band show that was super fun, Got to see my mom everyday and she’s doing so well. Very busy with organizing book group and mah jongg where she’s living now. It was fun celebrating 420 with Blas and Amanda, although it was just another day for us! Next year we hope to partake in the big celebration that Las Cruces did this year. We spent earth day weekend in ABQ at the launch of the Vegan Village where we also met up with DUHHH, aka Judy - a hash friend we know from Tahoe Relays. But there’s definitely a price for this….THIS is exactly why we stopped full-time rv-ing!! We can’t help ourselves, or rather, I can’t help myself. 

So we’ll see how this all plays out….I have heard that people are wondering why we left LB so I’ll be sure to write a bit about that next #kassonswildride

On the road again…

 We left Los Barriles Tuesday morning and had an easy ride to Loreto. For the first time EVERRRR Bill stopped for coffee in Ciudad Constitución….it seems like every time we drive through this town, aside from making sure we stop at every single corner, whether you can see a stop sign or not, I’ve wanted to stop for a coffee. Bill just isn’t into unplanned stops…when we were full-time rv-ing I understood that it was difficult to do a random unplanned stop while driving a 35’ motorhome and towing a car & bikes, but come on, man, we’re down to just this little truck now! Well, to my amazement he stopped at one of the many, many Coffee Star’s and they had all kinds of plant-milks too! He said it was now or never as we won’t be doing this drive again! 

We stayed the night at Coco’s Cabanas, which we really like. Full kitchen, nice pool and an easy walk to the malecón and town square.

Today we have a short 3-1/2 hour drive to San Ignacio to stay at Ignacio Springs B&B along the river in one of their cool luxury yurts. I have always wanted to stay there but the timing never worked out, but this time of year it should be lovely!
