By the time this posts I should be in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico soaking up the sun and Modelo. I will try to host from there if Mexican internet doesn't fail me. If it comes back in Spanish just use Yandex.
Hell, I never done this before, so I don't know any better.
Heh, if this doesn't work you guys can have fun making fun of me. I won't know til I get back anyway.
Thread is open.

Good morning Earthling
If you make it here, congratulations and best wishes for a great trip. Enjoy that sunshine.
Beer and bees
I like Modelo. I have been to Russia and must say locally produced beers are very good. Not much appreciated. Oh btw, about 12 or so years ago, the Russians reformed the sale of alcohol with the end result of:
Russians consume less alcohol than French or Italians — WHO Alcohol consumption in the Russian Federation has decreased by 40% over 15 years, Director of the Regional Office for Europe of the World Health Organization Hans Kluge said
I think Russians may drink less that
ItaliansGermans also. But now and then read what the orange place is saying about the Ukrainian/Russian conflict and a lot of laughing at drunk Russians. Also, favorite beverage of Russians is now beer.As a once backyard beekeeper saw following headline. Wife and I took seminars on beekeeping. Learned that in India no bees in some areas so sunflower farmers have to pollinate by hand.
Starving bees are robbing hives as their keepers try everything to save them
Dogs, you gotta love them

now it's someone who Jews don't like"

Aye Yi Yi!

Modelo is great. I hope you have a great time, and we will make fun of any gooberish replies in Spanish!

Flashback!
San Antonio River Walk mariachi bands, mariachi bands in Mexico...Hell, the music I hear from some neighbors a mile or so away.
I take it you have no complaints about your cruise???

It met the necessary objectives
1 left from SF so no flight
2 they cooked, cleaned, made the bed and all that
3 weather was warm
4 good food and drink ashore
We've made that particular cruse 4 or 5 times now, it's always a nice break and good diversion

Buenos Dias, earthling1, y buena suerte tambien.
Most importantly, buenas cervezas. Enjoy the warmth and forget hosting if it doesn't work out, be as carefree as you like, that's what you took the trip for, ain't it?

Ola SOE edit: oops, Earthling1
Hi all, Ola
SOE! Oops, sorry Earthling1, and SOE,There were some hole-in-the-wall eateries in L.A. that were Jalisco people. Great tacos and burritos. Is there still Tres Equis down there? Tres Equis was pretty popular in some circles in L.A. in the 70's. I knew one house that always had a case in Redondo Beach.
Was the same company that made Dos methinks. What I heard was that they quit exporting it to the states, but it was still available in Mexico. It only came in cans. Three X's on the label got me to try it, was hooked for a few years. I am a hundred miles from the border and they don't know about it here. It was maybe even thicker and richer than Modelo. Quite refreshing I must say.
There is some cloud forest at higher elevations just inland a bit there. Parrots, Motmots, all kinds of crazy birds. Have a great trip, with lots of tacos y cerveza.
edit to fix whom I was adressing, got my posters mixed up...

Hope you had a great trip...
We're off to the Yucatan late Jan to mid Feb and looking forward to our first big trip since the pandemic. Hope all was fun on yours!
