When Marc and I set out to find a life outside of Montreal Canada and away from the grind of the day to day treadmill, we had to get rid of anything we weren't taking with us since we didn't really have a place to store them.

This time we thought if we were to leave things with Marc's parents (the only place we could if we did) we would some how set ourselves up to go back to Canada.

We would like to permanently escape the cold. It gets rough in Montreal during winters.

I suppose it sounds to most that we may be dreaming and fooling ourselves. We quit our jobs took what some people would think of as little money, and we just left with one way tickets to Mexico starting with a month in the Yucatan in a not so desirable town called Tizimin.

We left earlier than our month allowed us at the airbnb and went to Cancun for a few days before we came to Acapulco.

Before leaving Canada, we donated or threw out all of our furniture, clothes, shoes, some electronics, including a new electronic keyboard that we had just purchased for three hundred dollars and never used. We gave it to a happy child. We gave away art supplies that we had just purchased, and all kinds of other things old and new.

We only kept a pair of boots and a jacket in Marc's parents closet, in case we visit. Oh and some documents just in case.

What we took with us on the plane, is what we can carry. A laptop which is broken now and the inside of Marc's computer which is now hooked up without a tower, we purchased a used monitor here in Acapulco.

We brought a magic bullet blender which is small and useful, a spiralizer which I use all the time to prep veggies.

Of course we brought a camera that we bought years ago that is pretty decent and a small pocket camera. We also brought some odd accessories for the camera which we don't really use but that stuff is difficult to part with.

We brought a few clothes, one pair of shoes and a pair of sandals each. My shoes fell apart in Cancun so I was left with only a pair of sandals. Both Marc and I had our sandals stolen one night while on the beach as well as our clothes. So we got another pair the next day. I had to go bare foot to get a cheap pair of flip flops which are now chipped away at the side but I'm afraid no others will be as comfortable so I am hanging on to them until they disintegrate.

Right after I snapped this photo one of my sandals got swept away into the bay

So once again I went barefoot to purchase another pair of flip flops

We have purchased a little single stove burner, a pot and some plastic dishes so now it feels like we have too many things again.

It's weird that I have lived so many years and was even married owning a total of two homes during that time,which were lost to the bank and two others later on which were sold and I broke even. Marc and I also have lived together for sixteen years accumulating this and that.

Now the little that we own at this point, seems like too much as I wonder what will be the best way to pack all of it in order to go to our next destination.

It's funny because in less than three weeks we will be leaving our airbnb and we actually don't have a clue where we will be lugging our stuff.

We are living on the edge and flying by the seat of our pants.

Last year we never would have imagined that this is how our life would be. It's pretty crazy!

Thanks for stopping by
