The Beginning

Out of the cold and into the warmth...

I'm heading south tonight. After an over-night stop in Phoenix, it'll be wheels down about 1:30 p.m. (CST) Saturday in Guadalajara, Mexico. It will be the first day of the next few weeks in Central Mexico.

To keep the creative juices flowing and the muses breathing during a "working vacation" (aka unemployed), I'm blogging this trip. Even after getting this site up and going, I'm still hesitant to enter the blogging world. Part of it is getting tagged geek, or, worse, self-indulgent. Part of it is not knowing how frequently I'll have reliable internet access as I travel around Mexico. Part of it is hesitancy that anyone will read it -- a bit like having a party and being fearful no one will come (it truly is one of the reasons I avoid throwing shin-digs).

But I'm bound to see some pretty remarkable sites and hear interesting tales, especially as I chase the freelance stories that will help finance the trip. So I'll pass the details along for your collective enjoyment, amusement, curiosity, horror... or whatever it turns out to be.

Take a look at the map. The yellow line indicates the route of travel.

Til the next time...
