Re: UPDATED FINALLY WITH PICTURES!! my journey cross-country
My BIL and SIL go down at least once a month...usually if they rent it...they go down to sweep the sand and clean a little and meet the people in town to show them exactly where it is and how the house 'works'
DH's uncle also moved to the town (he met his wife there and decided to stay - he is recovering from cancer..and with the laid back lifestyle, he has not had any sign of cancer) so they also look after somethings...
one of the neighbors (who is american, but refuses to live in the US, b/c of taxes - splits time between Mexico and Caribbean...nice life huh?) helps out too...
my MIL goes there occasionally as well...so between all of these people...it gets taken care of...

Re: UPDATED FINALLY WITH PICTURES!! my journey cross-country
we are trying to use it once a month...its a 4 1/2 hour drive for us (if we drive through Mexico...otherwise 6 if we stay in the US as long as possible)
you really can't use it in July-Aug...too hot...but we are planning to have Christmas there as a family

You lucky girl you. I love the laid back lifestyle idea, I could take it right now. Hubby was offered a job in the Caribbean recently, but I told him we cannot accept, at least not at this point in our lives.

DH's cousin married someone from Jamaica...and for a wedding present, his mom gave them land in the Caymen Islands!!! I guess it would be hard to move away from family...but they live in London...so they are already away!!
I toy with the idea of living in Mexico (DH says he would if he could get high speed internet access on the satelite) I think the only thing that stands in my way...is not speaking Spanish well...but since its an American vacation town...everyone speaks English...Maybe if I were independantly wealthy...

Erica, that was my concern, leaving all my family here. It would be home for hubby b/c most of his family is there

Re: UPDATED FINALLY WITH PICTURES!! my journey cross-country
shamma...thats a tough one...but at least you get to go to the caribbean to visit!!
jenn...i thought you lived there as well...West Hollywood must have been nice though...my sisters friend lived there and he said he would see stars in the supermarket all the time...
I can't find many pics of del mar...its 20 mins north of the city of san diego...

Hawaii showed me how a nice laid back life would be. But alas, way too far from home

Del Mar was a gorgeous town - I would think it's way too expensive though!
LOVE these cross country pics - especially of the Grand Canyon - we might be going there next summer sometime.
That house in Mexico is adorable! You can't get much closer to the water

Re: UPDATED FINALLY WITH PICTURES!! my journey cross-country
Teri...I think everyone should go see the Grand Canyon...its just such a wonder...this is my second time and it still amazed me...
jenn...that does sound like fun...we have a friend in Santa Monica...so maybe I'll have him 'cruise' with us...lol
Liz...hawaii is SO laid back...moreso than Mexico I think...but I got the feeling in HI...in the outer areas (not touristy) that they didn't want us there... I think I would get claustrophobic living with all the water around...nearest continent...5000miles...does that make sense?
Diane...the next shots I have to take are from our home...I have yet to take any!!!
