I hope Mexico City's water shortage problems are resolved before you get there. Where in Thailand are you headed?

Hmmm - I hope so too! I hadn't heard of the water issue but will look into it.

We'll sneak in a visit to Ko Pha Ngan before monsoon season descends and then head up to Chiang Mai and do some northern Thailand exploration. And of course we'll spend a few days in Bangkok at the end. We've been to Thailand so many times but usually just for a long weekend; I'm really looking forward to spending a full month this time.

I’m excited for your return to Mexico. As a Southern Californian close to retirement, I’ve been eyeballing Mexico for a place to hang out for long stays. I use your info to help inform my decisions.

Have a wonderful trip to Thailand, too! And I’m super impressed with Gillian’s perfect handstand on the beach!

Don't be too impressed...I remember it being a pretty fast descent 😂 We've also been thinking about Mexico as a potential base during the winter so we're interested to see how we feel about this repeat visit.

I’ve watched (and been inspired by) your YouTube videos for years … so glad to have found your substack as well! Looking forward to reading more. :)

We spent a few days this spring in Bacalar, Mexico. It’s a beautiful spot on an inland lagoon. Definitely work checking out.

I checked it out and what a gorgeous spot! It's amazing that there are still hidden gems to be found in Mexico. Or, if not exactly hidden, then at least somewhat off the main tourist trail.
