I spoke with my neigbours today and asked them if they would be willing to look after Miranda for a few days while I go tool around with the truck. Certainly! They’re here on and off, so we’ll need to match our schedules in the next week or two.<\/p>\n
Looking at my schedule and budget, I don’t see myself spending any more time on the Gulf Coast beyond this stay. I know there is good boondocking in the Port Aransas area, but it’s not free and it’s on sand, something I am leery of attempting. I’d rather go explore the area in the toad and then leave with Miranda for San Antonio, Austin, and points north. I have wiggle room in there in case Croft and Norma make good on their decision to head this way<\/a>!<\/p>\n There is also the matter of my teeth. I am overdue to visit a dentist and I have thought for a good long while of visiting a dentist in Nuevo Progreso, Mexico. I found a dentist recommended by Mexico Mike<\/a>, so that’s all I needed, no need to shop around! I emailed him tonight to tentatively book an appointment and get a bit more info and he got right back to me! I’m expecting to need just a cleaning and to have a filling fixed, with the estimated cost being a mere 75USD to 200USD, and possibly lower!<\/p>\n
