Update on our Isla site

No one made a comment on my last post about using #15 or commune or ??  So it likely be different each time.

Meanwhile back at our old compound some serious cement pouring is happening re the construction of a swimming pool. No one really knows what is  being planned for the site.

The necessary tree trimming has been done and the route is clear. However there are some very deep and wide pot holes that we will have to navigate.

This will be the gate that we will drive in through. The owner has put a huge amount of energy into cleaning up the site and laying new gravel.

The plan is for the front of the RV to be parked next to where the grey wall ends, just before red brick wall and the palapa. All that gravel will be our space.

Brand new installation of a sewer system and 50AMP RV plug.

Three new breaker panels. We are #15 and a large 5th wheel will be beside us in #14. Lot 13 is for the old 5th wheel that is placed along the back wall. We had been told that it was rented but this past weekend we were told that it is not.

Brand new meters will be installed.

Our friends Lusana and Mario visited from Chihuahua, Chihuahua over the weekend. Mario is an electrician who also teaches electricity and he checked out every inch of the new electrical installation paying specific attention to wire gauge, connections, grounding etc. All is ready for us.

They also gifted Colin with lovely shirt and I with a magnificent matching shawl. Both the softest materials from Oaxaca, Mexico.  We had lots of laughs which Colin and I certainly needed.

We will be on the right.

Only 7 more sleeps until we can be parked here.

We actually went out to a late lunch / early dinner two days in a row which was much too much for us. We are not used to much activity and it has taken us a few days to recover.

We ate at La Caleta on Saturday and we were not at all impressed. Never mind the half hanging door in the view but the service was bad as was the food.  We will give it one more try once we are back on the Isla but I am doubtful it will become favorite.

    I hope the trip goes well to the new location; you get all your plant/flowers in place and give them loving care and they flourish and bloom all Winter. So much to look forward to in the coming days, weeks and months. Prayers for you and Colin always.

  5. Lots of good news Contessa! It seems with all the owners attention to services that you will have a perfect spot…with a view. Nice to see Colin’s smile😊

    I edited your door picture but can’t send it to you. Sorry!

    My gosh, it’s getting close to moving day! I am happy to see your friend inspected the electrical installation so you can be confident to plug into it for the first time. Remember, your rig is wired for 115 (I hope) and the breakers are labelled 220. Not a problem as long as they are wired correctly and properly grounded. Proper grounding is always a problem in Mexico for some reason and over our years of travel we have had to come up with some innovative solutions. I can hardly wait for you to move into your new home site!

    1. Croft says:

      I meant to say as long as your final RV outlet is wired correctly and your rig is not exposed to 220 volts.

  11. Carol says:

    So glad to see you and Colin out and about and smiling. Hope your move is uneventful. Take care.

  12. Linda Sand says:

    I’m glad to see you both smiling. I hope your move goes smoothly. You deserve some of that.

  13. Sandie says:

    I am so happy that you will finally be settled into your beautiful site and you can turn it into a beautiful home. You and Colin look wonderful. Hopefully there will be less stress.

  14. Karen says:

    I am so very happy for you guys! Finally it’s all coming together and there is a rainbow at the end of that tunnel, with love to all 4C’s from the two of us ❤️

    This looks lovely Contessa!

    Oh Contessa….
    CONCRETE!………Not cement……..
    I think one of the worst jobs was being a CONCRETE pump-truck operator. The hose plugs up and on a hot day CONCRETE is doing what it is supposed to do. Getting hard.
    Picture a poor guy with a sledge hammer pounding on “many” feet of hose and pipe trying to find the blockage..Not fun at all>>>>..
