Folks, Rita, Hunter & I are about to  embark on another travel adventure in
our trusty 1987 VW Vanagon  Westfalia for the next five months or so.  We
plan  on leaving Almonte Tuesday or Wednesday next week, heading for the
Pittsburgh, PA area to visit my Mom and Sister in New Kensington for a week  or
so.  Then heading across the US probably from Pittsburgh to Columbus to
St. Louis to Oklahoma City to Albuquerque to Flagstaff to Bakersfield  then to
the Santa Cruz area of California to spend Christmas with our  daughter
April, Sal and now seven month old Owen Kai in  Watsonville.  Then after
Christmas we head for Mexico's West Coast, ending  up in La Manzanilla where we
will stay awhile.  Travel will be slow and  options are open for side
adventures along the planned route across the US and  on into Mexico.  Then once in
La Manzanilla we will probably stay  awhile, meet up with good friends Mike
& Marianne who live there  and with them we will head for Oaxaca to spend
some time there.   Then on to the Yucatan area to Bacalar to meet up with
friends Tony  and Eileen who spend their winters there, help Tony out with his
van's new  engine transplant, then on to Cozumel to meet more friends from
here, John  & Michele who have a place there.  By the end of March or early
April we will start heading back home to be back here for the end of April to
 run my Vanagon repair business for the summer.  That's the rough outline
of  our plans and of course we make no pledge to anyone to adhere to these
plans.  Day by day and circumstances will certainly make their  changes.  We
will have a Blog again, thanks to Jonathan, so you will  be able to keep up
with our adventures.  The address of the Blog is _www.westfaliatravels.com_
(http://www.westfaliatravels.com/)  so book  mark it and subscribe to it so
you will be notified of any postings.   The Blog will also be linked off of
all my webpages at _www.frankcondell.com_ (http://www.frankcondell.com/)  so
you can  always find it there.  And of course we can always be reached by
email, or our Canadian cell at: 613-297-5051 but will not be good in  Mexico
or our Mexican cell at: 315-109-4147


    Please note that I will be away from  my business travelling in the USA
and Mexico from November 18, 2009 until April  30, 2010.  Parts orders will
be processed although not as quickly as usual.  I will always be available
by E-mail.  If you phone, your call  will be addressed by Greg T. Brown here
and he will either call you back or  advise you to contact me directly by
E-mail.  See my _www.frankcondelli.com_ (http://www.frankcondelli.com/)
website for  complete details.




If you do not wish to receive further messages  from me regarding this
adventure, please message me to remove your name  & email address from this
mailing list.

Cheers,
