It has been awhile since I wrote about my travels, but with Mexico and Costa Rica my next destinations I couldn’t resist sharing the adventure. On Thursday this week my friend Anne and I fly via SanFrancisco to Mexico City. This country is completely new to me and I am very excited to brush up my Spanish as well as exploring a new destination. Even more exciting is the delight of having my elder brother Peter joining us on this trip too. This is an organised small group tour with Intrepid. Usually I am an independent traveller, that is, I start from a major city and take it from there with not a lot of solid bookings though a good idea of where I am going, and basically how I am getting there. Usually I am walking. This time it’s planned though with a fair amount of free time. I can’t wait. I have packed ( twice!) and I am really happy with the weight. I was a bit rusty when I went to Spain in 2022 and ended up with too much. This time I am better prepared. We have added a couple of extra days in Mexico City before the tour starts and have already booked the Frida Kahlo museum as a highlight. Lots to see and experience. As a corn based cuisine I am eager to try the local food without being anxious about my gluten sensitivity.
We arrived at Tullamarine in plenty of time and happened to meet up with Anne’s son in law Mark who was flying to Chicago for a trade fair. That killed some time pleasantly. Then it was our turn.
