'bye


Mexico. Two weeks. Heaven. Not nearly enough. At least this time I won't have to fake an English accent when folks ask where I'm from. For the first time in eight years, I'll be able to say with pride Si! Soy norteamericana. El presidente Barack Obama? Muy bueno! Hallelujah.

Why would you ever pretend not to be American? Regardless of who is president, this is a country to be proud of. The English have a far worse history of imperialism and exploitation than America.

Have a great time in Mexico. Wish I was going with you. I feel relief too at the end of the Bush years.

Have a fabulous and relaxing trip- nice to know soon we won't have to worry about being embarrassed by our leadership isn't it?

Bon voyage, as we say up here in Canada (where it's damn cold, BTW).

Muy bueno, indeed! I'm jealous, as always, but that's par for the course. Enjoy!

Two weeks is not enough? I barely get one week of solid vacation a year. You're spoiled, my dear. Enjoy!

I totally understand. Our travels abroad slowed down and finally stopped because my sweet spouse got tired of feeling he had to either explain (who could!?) George W. Bush - or apologize.

Needless to say, my mission trips to Kenya are the exception (where they declared a national holiday whan we elected Obama president of the USA)!

Where are you? Shouldn't you be back by now? You didn't get lost and dump your husband for a rich mexican tycoon did you?
