This morning I headed out to Gear Works, the awesome local bike shop, to get my bike all boxed up and ready to fly. Everything went totally awesome and I couldn't be more impressed or happy with the people over there. I've been able to watch my bike come out of a box, get set up, get heavier and heavier with all of it's gear, and then broken back down again with care for transportation. I have planned, researched, learned, contemplated, day-dreamed, and pined after this trip wholeheartedly every minute of every day for the last 3 months. It's been quite the emotional and financial investment, and I haven't even thought twice about it.
After the bike was packed up I headed home where my carefully packed panniers and lists of things not to forget sat waiting to arrive in Mexico. I decided to double check the package dimensions and regulations on american airlines, which I guarantee I already did, just to make sure I wasn't going to get hit with any extra fines. Well shit, guess what I found out? Between Nov. 21 and Jan. 10 you can't check a box, anything overweight, or any extra luggage. All there is left to do is cancel my flight, kick around and get another weird job for yet another month, and try again in January. Tenemos una cita, tu y yo, Mexico. No te preocupes que no es por un mes mas. Nos vemos pronto, es una promesa.
