Presently on to the digital recording… Download Link | iTunes|Stitcher Radio|Google Podcast| Podbean | TuneIn | Overcast [3:24] Marc recounts their arrangement to wipe out the condominium, apply for visas at the Mexican Embassy in Laredo, get course guidance from Juan Pablo (J.P.), get another vehicle battery, carry felines to the vet, get hotel reservations, and use Google Maps for their first performance trip back. [5:15] Mexican parkways remember a few streets for different headings with a similar number. Google Maps was significant for headings. [5:37] The Millers left on a Tuesday, to maintain a strategic distance from trucks that are normally discharged on Mondays. Going North is altogether different from going South, principally due to security checkpoints. [6:04] The Mexican wide open is drop-dead beautiful. Marc needs to take much more pictures on their way down. As they headed toward Matehuala there was genuinely negligible truck traffic for a decent separation. [6:32] Once the truck traffic got, there were extends with one vehicle for each 10 trucks. Marc found a truck going the speed they needed and tailed it for several miles, as J.P. had proposed. [7:08] On Day One, the Millers ran into one security checkpoint yet they were not halting anybody. The principal day was entirely uneventful. They had brought all the food they expected to eat on the outing, so their solitary stops were for washroom breaks. [7:33] At the finish of Day One, the Millers remained at the Las Palmas Midway Inn in Matehuala. It is a 1950s style engine motel. Numerous expats remain there on the grounds that it is pet-accommodating. It was practically full when Marc reserved the spot, seven days in front of the outing. This is the point at which all the seasonal travelers begin descending. [8:11] This time, the felines were a mess increasingly open to voyaging. They were fine at the hotel and in the vehicle. The primary day was simple. The Millers halted at the Matehuala Walmart and purchased a couple of things. The lodging café was in reality incredibly, great. [8:46] On Day Two Marc and his significant other began at 7:30, and kid, did they see trucks! Trucks and more trucks. They experienced different security checkpoints. One of the significant ones really upheld up things for 60 minutes. They were in heavily congested rush hour gridlock for an hour as they occupied all trucks off to be looked. [9:16] When the Millers got up to the checkpoint, vehicles were channeled to one side and were waved through. The vehicle before the Millers was a powerful vehicle driven by a Mexican, and the security officials pulled it over to examine. [9:37] There was likewise a fruta stop to check for organic product. Marc realized enough Spanish to have the option to answer no when the official inquired as to whether they had any organic product in the vehicle. [9:53] Marc and his significant other drove as far as possible up to Nuevo Laredo, to cross at the Laredo outskirt crossing. To begin with, they needed to stop at the Banjercito where they gave up the Temporary Import Permit (TIP) for their vehicle and got back the $400 store they paid for their vehicle. In the event that you miss this, you will be banished from taking a vehicle back to Mexico. [10:55] Marc maneuvered into an inappropriate side of the Banjercito stall, and they guided him to pivot and approach on the right side. They stripped the sticker off and educated the Millers the store would be discounted to the Millers' Mastercard in three or four days. [11:14] Next was the Immigration (IMM) Office where they took the Millers' traveler visa (FMM) card. Next would be the U.S. Customs on the opposite side of the outskirt. [11:37] The Millers had all the desk work for the felines, as they should have. That was acceptable in light of the fact that Customs checked their felines. [11:49] These are profoundly crossed outskirts, and shutting them is an immense bother for business and local people who go over the fringes to work. The Millers crossed at about 5:00 p.m. following a 45-minute pause. They made it to a La Quinta in Laredo, where they remained the night. [12:37] The following morning, the Millers drove the pleasant, simple three-to-four outing home. [12:53] The Millers found when they returned to Austin that Marc had shed 15 pounds and his better half had lost 20. In Mexico, other than drives to Guadalajara, they hadn't put 20 miles on the vehicle. They strolled all over the place. In the event that they had something important to bring back, similar to a sack of kitty litter, they brought a little hand truck to convey it. [12:38] Another explanation behind the weight reduction is that Mexican food has no additional sugar and salt. Each sort of food the Millers ate tasted better. Nearby foods grown from the ground, and neighborhood heated merchandise tasted so great. [14:36] Marc's circulatory strain has returned to ordinary and as yet improving. Marc is currently back at his school graduation weight at age 62 â€" 170 pounds at just shy of 6'4?. He hasn't been this sound in years. [15:05] Marc likewise saw how much steady commotion there is in Austin from hardware and traffic, appeared differently in relation to Ajijic. The pace of life is blasting in Austin, and Marc discovers he doesn't care for it any longer. Austin has changed significantly in the 40 years the Millers have lived there. [15:38] It used to be a drowsy little college town with state government. It ain't so no more. [15:44] Marc is more advantageous than he has been in years. His significant other has more endurance than she's had in years. Marc can't state what the most recent four months have accomplished for their wellbeing. They are anticipating returning. [15:58] The Miller's first worry in Austin was how to manage all their stuff. They leased a 5'x10' room at a little storeroom for about $70 every month. Their objective had been to dispose of everything except for â€" not exactly everything. They're putting away a couple of things they don't know they need to dispose of and things they will bring down to Ajijic on their next outing. [16:33] The Millers will leave their bicycles for the present and bring them down on their next outing. They likewise have an extremely pleasant jumbo bed they will store, just on the off chance that they return to remain. Things they needed no more, they set up on their nearby apartment suite Facebook gathering and on Marc's customary Facebook page, saying no sensible offer will be turned down. [17:16] The Millers began selling things for $30 to $50. Whatever is extra that the Millers don't need, the Salvation Army Austin will have come and gotten when this scene is discharged. [17:35] Marc records the fixes that were required before leasing the apartment suite â€" new dishwasher, new seals in the can, new handles for the range, some artwork, and general upkeep. [18:31] The Millers experienced all their paper photographs. They disposed of a great deal of them and took the rest to a camera shop to be filtered. They will at present keep the examined photographs in paper structure also. [18:48] One of their most serious issues was moving George, their 45-year-old pig tail palm. George is almost 10 feet tall and 500 pounds and was on the third floor. The apartment suite administrator discovered three folks to move the tree and it was a difficulty. They needed to remove it from the pot, which was substantial in itself. They gave the tree to a previous neighbor. [19:55] They changed their correspondence address to that of an old family companion they've known for more than 40 years. They are applying for medical coverage. Marc has been affirmed and Lotus Miller is hanging tight for endorsement. Marc tells the premium and deductible for his own approach for a year, which will be significantly less than his month to month ACA premium. [20:55] Lotus' arrangement will be somewhat more than Marc's and is experiencing the endorsement procedure,
