Portland to Tenacatita

It's almost time to leave Portland for Tenacatita. We plan on spending 3-months living in our beach house, Casa Lirio. We believe, hope, pray it will be finished by the time we get there. There was not much left to do to complete the house. But if you have read my previous posts, you know why I am a little skeptical of the house being done. When I left in March all that needed doing was screening of the sitting area, installation of a door, and some concrete work on the roof. Not much, maybe 2-3 days of work. Oh well, we'll see.

We plan to drive our old 1990 Nissan pickup to Tenacatita. For us, an ambitious undertaking, but one we feel suited for, since we love long road trips (well Sharon likes them better then I do). We leave at the end of the month with the entire trip taking 18 days. We will make it a slow relaxed trip with several great stops planned along the way: Medford for 3 days, Pacific Grove, CA for 2-days, and 2 days in Tucson; all visits with family and friends. Finally we enter Mexico through Nogales and drive for 2 days, arriving at Mazatlan for a wonderful 3 day stay at a resort. After we gain our energy, hanging by the pool, eating guacamole and drinking tequilla, we leave for Puerto Vallarta for 4 days hanging by the pool, but also running a number of errands before we leave for Tenacatita. More on our trip once we head on down the road.
