Saying Goodbye to Mexico

We head back to Mexico and Bill and Lisa come along for some Mexico fun and finally spend some time aboard Journey.  It all started with airport fun as we flew out of different airports but arrived in Mexico at the same time.  We were not able to get Journey off the dock during their stay due to the weather but we had lots of fun.  Dee was our personal Mixologist!
Our fun included time on the beach thanks to Jack and Cathy.  We enjoyed exploring the area, hanging out in the hole and canal tours courtesies of Robin and Landon,
and finally a great night out at one of our favorite places Buena Vida in Akumal also with Jack and Cathy. We were sad to see them go.
Dee and enjoyed getting Journey out a few more times into the Mexican waters and having some final fun on the PA beach.  Time is slipping away.  We saw this rainbow soon after returning to Mexico and would see one more right before we leave so stay tuned. God is sending us some signs that it is time to go.
Before we leave we get to experience One more Halloween and a huge Day of the Dead celebration.  I have included here some information about the full celebration of the Day of the Dead in Mexico. It is a week-long celebration leading up to Halloween and Nov. 1st - the biggest day of celebration and culminating on Nov. 3rd.
Halloween always means a golf cart parade in PA.  Check out Alex’s family dressed up to scare us all!  We enjoyed decorating for Tradewinds bar and handing out candy to all the golf carts as they passed by to collect their loot.
The next day was All Saints’ Day and PA had a huge Day of the Dead event which was more fun and meant so much to this culture.  They remember their dead during this time.  This is the day children who have died come to the Day of the Dead table.
Our days in PA are coming to an end as we try to enjoy the final day at our dock And enjoy as Lilia calls our duck, the families of Chachalacas that live in the trees around us.  Knowing that this view from the beach and The Hole will no longer be ours very soon.
Before we leave we have some final visitors.  Jeff and Melissa arrive to experience Mexico and all PA has to offer.  From canal tours in Shelby to a trip out on board Journey.  We had a great time.  This culminates with Dee’s birthday which we celebrated at Latitudes. Cheers to so much fun in Mexico and the sadness we have letting it all go, but new adventures await.
Before we go we must sell Metallica.  Dee’s final ride on her out to meet the man who would buy her.  She was so good to us.  Best and cheapest transportation for us to get around in Mexico to get supplies and explore. Then that final trip to “The Hole” with friends.  So much fun then and even now looking back, but so hard to know it was over.  The final rainbow shines over us and we know that this small weather window that we have we must take.  So out of PA we went for  14 hours of rougher seas than we would have liked but we knew in our gut we had to go!  Stay tuned for the crossing in the next video.
