Here it is Monday night - washing clothes and watching tv.  In a year from now we want to be on our adventure.  We are moving to somewhere there is NO snow.  We are waffling between Mexico and Ecuador.  We are reading all the info on the internet and reading peoples blogs.  Still can't decide.  We are going to Puerto Vallarta for Christmas and will be looking around at the rentals available .  We are hoping to survive on $1200.00 a month.  Is it possible?  I sincerely hope so!
