From Japan to Mexico

We got here on December 3rd. The move from Japan to Mexico went very well without any hitches. Considering how shy Sputnik is, she has adjusted well and quickly.

How did we get here?
I flew on United Airlines from Japan to the U.S and from the U.S. to Mexico on American Airlines. Both airlines allowed Sputnik to come with me as my carry-on luggage, and both were very accommodating. I was glad to have Sputnik with me at all times.

Immigration with a cat at the airport in Mexico:
Although I had all my paperwork, when I mentioned to the Mexican Immigration that I had a cat and the proper paperwork, they didn’t ask to see either and just motioned for me to push the button. If I had gotten a red light, everything in my possession would have been inspected. I got the green light and was able to go through without any inspection or further questions. What luck! Getting through was a piece of cake.

I will be blogging more regularly from here on.

I have been checking in periodically to see if you've surfaced. Noticed your comment on my blog this morning so figure you must have re-joined the blogging world. Welcome back. We've missed you! I look forward to your insightful stories of life in Mexico in the same way I so enjoyed you explaining and showing us Japan.

I'm sure you have stories to share!

I am so glad you have shared these details with us. I find it fascinating. I am delighted your cat did have to endure some sort of quarantine. :) It is good to have you back, Juana.

Married Shadows

My husband and I haven't had a T.V. for the last 15 years, maybe more, so we often go to see movies at the Cinema. The last couple of ones that I've enjoyed have been Transformers II and Terminator IV. Two more of my favorites are Slumdog Millionare and Milk. These latter two were well done movies from all angles (acting, script, cinematography). This is us after an afternoon at the movies and eating out. We had just come from Starbucks and were heading to the train station. For more shadow shots and to learn how to join this Meme, please visit Hey Harriet's blog .
