No seriously. I must not procrastinate, but it's just the way I do things when it comes to preparing for a big change. Unfortunately, (maybe more like fortunately) Brian and I do not function the same way.
Not only is our date of departure two days away, but our plan of action has taken a somewhat dramatic turn within the last week - which has only added to our list of things to do!
Exactly one week ago today, Brian and I received an offer that we couldn't refuse. It boils down to the fact that we will be returning to Jackson sooner than we originally intended - 4 months early to be precise. Kind of crazy how things turned out. I guess you could say we are disappointed that the trip won't take the shape we had originally intended, but more so we are incredibly thankful for the opportunity that has presented itself and excited to start another chapter in our lives.
We have decided to make the most of the time we have (and the plane tickets we bought) and head to the Yucatan Peninsula for a loop full of delicious food, white sandy beaches, and tons of Mayan ruins (with our bikes of course!!) Take a look at Brian's map in the route section. Bikes are packed and everything else has taken its place in boxes and bags until we return to Jackson in January.
This past week has been stressful to say the least and I believe I have felt every single emotion you can imagine while dealing with this change so late in the game. That being said, I am beyond ready for this vacation. I am extremely grateful that we are still able to take an extended trip, and ecstatic that we will be spending it in the Yucatan.
We still have to finish crossing things off our list tomorrow, but at this point my biggest worry revolves around the fact that the high on Wednesday is 16 degrees, and I will be decked out in my chacos on the taxi ride to the airport!
Only one picture this time, but it's a good one! You have to feel some sympathy for the ginger heading to the beach/jungle!
