I’m back to give you an update on the last leg of our journey south back to Mexico!<\/p>\n

We left New York State after a great visit with Shari’s sister Amy and her husband Nate.  Their baby was present, but refused to make an appearance.  So we are still anxiously waiting for news and pictures from the north!<\/p>\n

\"Part
A bit of the Memphis skyline
8 September 2009<\/i><\/center>So since Sunday morning we’ve been travelling south and west.  As you can see above, we left Memphis this morning, and are planning to spend Wednesday in Dallas getting ourselves organized for the rest of the trip.  (We also learnt on the way up that a non-driving day would be a good thing to try in the middle.  We’re taking 3 days to Dallas, and plan to take 3 days to get home.)<\/p>\n

Lord willing we’ll be crossing the US\/Mexico border on the morning of the 11th – Friday.  So we would really appreciate your prayers that all would go smoothly and that there wouldn’t be unnecessary delays and expenses.  As always we appreciate your prayers for our safety on the road in both countries.<\/p>\n

Got some more driving to do – see you later!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
