So a bit over a month ago when I publicly announced my plans to leave Portland for Mexico, I probably was a bit hasty in announcing that Megan and I would definitely be going to Mexico. Now it actually looks like we will be going to South America first!
Megan's mom and sister have been planning to go to South America this year and last week they asked us to join them on the trip. Not only do they think it would be fun to have us along, but Megan's mom will be more comfortable with a fluent Spanish speaker around (Megan, not me).
So now the plan as to travel the U.S. west coast for the month of September with stops in Seattle, Portland, McMinville, Chico, Yuba City and San Francisco. Then in late September or early October we will fly down to Lima Peru for four weeks in Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. We might go to Uruguay as well, but probably just a overnight trip to Montevideo. After that we would likely go back to Mexico to live for a year as planned.
Even though this is a fairly major shift in plans, Megan and I have been keeping an open mind so it hasn't really thrown us off at all. Plus, we get to see South America soon!

Posted by: Miss Shigatsu at June 14, 2005 05:32 AMWe see you are making a stop in Seattle. We live just south of Tacoma and actually will have a new member to our family at the end of August/early September, the baby is due August 30th. We would love to see you and finally meet Megan.
