Next stop MEXICO

I'm moving out of the Oaks.  (#homeless)

Then I am going on a 3 month adventure to Lake Chapala Mexico.

I'm planning to find a spot on the lake, in Ajijic.  (AaHeHic.  'Ahh-Hee-Hick.')
Ajijic is a town about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west from the town of Chapala, part of the municipality (also named Chapala), in the State of Jalisco, Mexico.  Many retired Americans and Canadians now live in Ajijic, about 1,000 full-time and another 700 during the winter months. As a result of these foreign residents and visitors, Ajijic has numerous art galleries and curio shops, as well as restaurants and bed and breakfast inns.  Located one hour south of Guadalajara, (~30min from the airport) Ajijic is known for its proximity to Lake Chapala, the largest lake in Mexico.  
"Ajijic is a wonderful place to retire in Mexico, especially for those who appreciate the support system of an established expat community. Two people can live comfortably in Ajijic on a budget of $1,800 to $2,000 per month."

I gave notice of my departure to the Rental folks and then wrote a letter of resignation for the Residents Board.  It's all falling together now.  I just need to pack for Mexico and then box up everything else I own here and put it in storage.  Simple.
