Packing problems while moving to Cabo

Dane Posey 2013-09-18Everything Pose Knows Cabo

Due to the inherent limitations of driving a low-budget subcompact hatchback, I have shifted my moving to Cabo packing strategies from including the Wolfgang Puck Rice Cooker to what would I grab if I only had 15 minutes and a hankering for dehydrated fruits. According to the picture, that also includes tortilla chips. Perhaps the only time, in the history of moving to Cabo, that someone has brought their own chips. I’ll wear that badge with honor.

Let go of your “things”

Social conditioning has taught us to accumulate and consume. Breaking the attachment to things is a difficult but necessary step. The reason why the TV show Hoarders was so popular. There is a little “Hoarder” in all of us. I believe that freedom can only be attained when you free yourself from those attachments.

California Love

My plan for this blog is to document the trials and tribulations of life after leaving the United States to live in Mexico. A self-indulgent travelogue of my departure from the States and arrival to the present moment. Albeit, I am moving to Baja California Sur which I have learned many Mexicans do not believe to be part of Mexico but instead call it, “Gringolandia.”

The point of no return…

The California plates have been removed and replaced with South Dakota license plates. Why? Did you know that South Dakota is one of the only states in the union that does not require a vehicle registered in the state to be insured in the state? This flexibility allows me to maintain a US plated vehicle as a “Temporary Resident” in Cabo.

The registration process is easy and can all be done over the phone and by mail. A step by step guide can be found here at the “Discover Baja Travel Club” website.

I remember visiting my dad in Cabo and seeing a lot of cars with South Dakota license plates and thinking, “There sure are a lot of South Dakotans that like to drive to Cabo for vacation.” Little did I know that Cabo is called “South, South Dakota” for this reason.

Now, what happens if and when I become a “Permanent Resident” or a citizen? We will find out…

Prepping for the move

The move is becoming more real as the days pass. It is essential to go south for reconnaissance and cement the details.
