I have a new ad to run in the MasterCard ad series.
The other night my husband and I were walking the beach at dusk and this gave me the layout for the ad ….. At one of the little beachside bar/cafes we see a man sprawled out on his chair, hat over his eyes, resting with his feet in the sand – empty beer bottle by his side. Happy people were talking all around him – he is oblivious to it all.
The ad reads …. Flight $500 beer $1.50 Relaxation - priceless.
Enjoy Mexico (that’s the tourism board ad). I think we are all just walking MasterCard and tourism board ads around here!
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Mexico - no pretention
Things often get done a little differently in Mexico. Okay sometimes things are done a lot differently. That is why those of us who chose to live here – usually love it. We were looking for something a little different.
Mexico is a country that does not pretend to be perfect, does not seem to care care if it is perfect and does not say it is perfect.
Maybe something we should all strive for. I find life is much easier if we don’t always need to strive for perfection.
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Mexico and the art of relaxation
One of the keys to living life to the fullest in Mexico is to relax! Isn’t that why we are here? So that we can finally get away from stresses and relax? So let’s relax. Everything will work out while we are at the beach or hanging in our hammock. This may take some practice – but we need to practice the art of relaxation daily.
Some scenarios in Mexico … Will no one show up when they say they will? Yep! Relax. Will it all get done anyway? Yep. Relax.
Let’s practice now … Where are you going to be? Will you be at the pool? Will you be on the beach? Will you be in your hammock? Will you be sipping something cool with friends on your sundeck? Yep! Good ideas!
By the way, if you have not totally mastered the language? Hand gesturing and charades are a great pastime here. Mexicans are generally a very gracious people – they are just happy to have us try and will keep repeating as often as we need to make us understand.
Will you sometimes need a translator even when you think you know Spanish? Yep. Did you know a few people even talk in Mayan here? Adds to the fun! Relax!
I guarantee that often you will not even know why they do things the way they do here. And does it matter? Nope! What are we busy doing? Relaxing - We are living life to the fullest in a paradise.
We must do what we must do – practice the art of relaxation. I vow to keep practicing until I get it right. How about you?
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

Mexico - Real Estate and Speed Bumps
Mexico has its ups and downs – you know - the potholes and speed bumps. I have noticed that Mexicans seem to like one or the other. If the road doesn’t have a pothole they are going to put in a speed bump (even if it is a big, thick rope dragged across the road) …..
Seriously though, any place can have its ups and downs – it is all on what you choose to focus on. We can focus on the fact that something happens slowly or the fact that it allows us to slow down.
Will you hit some speed bumps buying in Mexico, moving to Mexico or living in Mexico? Yep! The speed bumps are all part of the adventure of life! Every speed bump is a reminder to remember to slow down and appreciate the view. Again, it’s really all about focus – Always be aware that you can choose your focus. Our focus – our attitude is everything.
When you try to buy real estate in a different country than you live in, or relocate somewhere different – will things be done differently? Yep! Will they sometimes take longer than expected? Will they sometimes way longer than expected? Yep! Just pick your advisors carefully and then trust them. Expect everything to be different because that is one of the reasons why you are making the move.
We bought Ejido property here in Mexico (similar to Indian land) and it took us a year before the property and title was in our name even though we had fully paid for it. There were no worries because we had a local lawyer we trusted and all the details were written in the contract. We learned, knew and trusted the system and our advisors. That actually makes the difference of if you sleep at night or not. How can you live life to the fullest – if you can’t sleep at night?
The right advisors and finding those who have gone before you can help you avoid many of the speed bumps and potholes in Mexico.

Why move to Mexico?
Mexico beckons many of us. What is that call to us all about?
Let me share what called to us and what our family found in Mexico ……..
Beautiful weather year round … a more relaxed life style … it gave us an opportunity to create a different life and consciously choose what we wanted in it … we could learn a new language and have fun with hand gestures … we not only learn about, but experience day to day all about another culture … we see palm trees … beautiful beaches and ocean … and then there is the creation of more quality time with family.
Granted some of these things we could have changed or experienced where we used to live, but it was much more fun and adventurous to do it in Mexico!
If any of these appeal to you - when are you coming to visit and check it out?
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne

International Living Conference held in Cancun, Mexico
Sorry about the short notice on this - I sent info about it in my eZine but forgot you here. Well just slug my arm when you get to Cancun.
International Living is holding a conference right in my own backyard - Cancun, Mexico.
I got the schedule for the event and I have to say I am very impressed! It is jam packed with all the speakers and information you would need to make an educated decision of where you might choose to move and how to do it!
Speakers are coming in from around the world to tell you how they did it and how you can do it too. They will be covering opportunities in Mexico and around the world.
You will learn about good deals on properites, how to buy them, and what to do once you have them. They will even be discussing business opportunities you can pursue to earn more money before and after your move.
It is short notice so you will have to register and book your flight now. However, this could be a great opportunity to get in on short notice discount airfare (always an upside)! Let me know if you want discount travel sites.
It will be at the Fiesta Americana Resort in Cancun, Mexico,
May 28 through 31, 2008.
Plus, I have been asked to be a guest speaker on the Saturday, so we can meet!
Actually I plan to hang around more than that. Every day is packed with speakers.
I want to learn all about these deals too!
Click here to see all the details of the conference.
Let me know you are coming so I can say hello.
Enjoy the Adventure! Suzanne
