Preparing to launch

A lot of planning is finally coming to fruition.  It's amazing the number of details you can drown in when preparing for two months away from home! Our trip to Oaxaca and Guanajuato will not just be a much needed break, but will also give us the opportunity to continue our Spanish practice. We're excited about being immersed in a different culture, speaking Spanish all day long since we'll be living with the Carrasco family in Oaxaca, none of whom speak a word of English! We're just hoping we don't screw up, say something entirely inappropriate or offensive. In the meantime, our trusted house sitters Julie and Andrew arrive next week for orientation and introduction to the pets. Lexi has a list a mile long of her preferences for walks and play sessions. It's a good thing they're young and energetic.
