Presently on to the digital recording… Download Link | iTunes|Stitcher Radio|Google Podcast| Podbean | TuneIn | Overcast [2:44] Marc had an assortment of motivations to come back to Austin right now. In the principal week in March, Marc was talking at the Texas Hospital Insurance Exchange, an affiliation. The talking gig was reserved long ahead of time of the Millers' transition to Ajijic. Marc additionally expected to get the vehicle examined and the enrollment restored. [3:28] The Millers likewise were all the while exhausting their extra space, which was costing nearly $80 per month. On this outing they gave an extra large bed to a companion. [3:52] They had wanted to begin the visa procedure at the Consulate of Mexico in Austin in December yet they had used up all available time. Along these lines, they are halting at the Consulate of Mexico in Laredo, in transit back to Ajijic from this excursion. [4:16] On this excursion, Mrs. Mill operator got the opportunity to visit her folks while Marc did the annual expenses. [4:32] The Millers left Ajijic on February 29 and headed to Matehuala the primary day. It was a decent six-and-a-half-hour drive on cost streets and a couple of little streets. They remained at the Las Palmas Midway Inn, where expats remain as they travel. It is an old pet-accommodating engine hotel. They remained in a more redesigned room that was very pleasant, for $61 for the evening. [5:19] They left about 7:30 a.m., expecting a seven-hour outing to Laredo. It transformed into a 12-hour day. Street development included 60 minutes. A security checkpoint sponsored up traffic for a significant distance as they took a gander at each truck. There are 10 trucks for each vehicle out and about. [5:59] Next, there was an electrical cable hung over the interstate. The force organization, CFE, fixed it following 90 minutes. Marc is upbeat they were close to the front of the line. [6:40] They showed up at Laredo at about 4:30 p.m. furthermore, prepared through the banjercito for the brief import grant for their vehicle. Their $400 was discounted to their Mastercard (regardless of the Millers' having changed card numbers as a result of an undermined card). At that point it took 90 minutes to cross the Laredo International Bridge Number 1. [7:31] The Millers got to the inn in Laredo at around 7 p.m. They were really depleted. It was an extremely, taxing day with heaps of sitting in rush hour gridlock. It's something you need to become acclimated to. Notwithstanding the deferrals, they could have made the excursion in one 12-hour drive from Ajijic to Laredo. Be that as it may, delays are normal. [8:04] The Millers looked into the La Quinta at the Laredo air terminal, which they like superior to the one close to the outskirt. They had a decent supper and the following morning took off for Nacogdoches in East Texas. Mrs. Mill operator visited her folks there. Stephen F. Austin State University is the essential boss, other than the wood business. [8:41] Friday and Saturday, Marc stuck around the lodging and did his personal expenses. Being close to the principle street, what Marc initially saw was the gigantic measure of clamor. Marc was not, at this point used to street commotion and steady mechanical ecological clamor. [9:57] Marc read in the Guadalajara Reporter that Mexicans don't comprehend about Americans why we control the temperature all year in our vehicles. That isn't the training in Mexico. [10:25] Sunday morning, the Millers set out toward Austin. They remained with an old family companion, Donna, in the local where they had lived for a long time. She let them utilize an additional room, where they remained for around fourteen days. [10:57] The old neighborhood was the place the Millers had lived, in a house worked in 1959 or 1960, until they moved to an apartment suite close to downtown in 2010. Marc saw quickly the measure of improvement that had happened in the area. [11:22] The Millers strolled two miles to Upper Crust Bakery and saw that 20 to 30% of the homes had been annihilated and supplanted with McMansions or were radically included onto. In 1978, when Marc moved to Austin, it was the least expensive lodging market in the nation. Presently, it is one of the most costly. The change has been emotional. [12:04] The second thing Marc saw was everytime he needed to do quite a bit of anything, he needed to get in the vehicle and drive. There was a Fresh Plus a mile-and-a-half away. Marc strolled one day to Top Notch, a 1950s cheeseburger place, which was in a film. It overwhelmed Marc that everything is structured around the vehicle, not around individuals. [12:47] He recollected that from his bicycling days. He used to crave Downtown Portland, which was planned around individuals, not around vehicles. Be that as it may, this is Texas. Indeed, even the old neighborhoods, vehicles are fundamental. [13:08] In Ajijic, over the most recent three months they have utilized the vehicle multiple times. Twice, it was to get a 40-lb. bundle of kitty litter they would not like to carry on the transport. It was a psyche move not to require the vehicle. Austin's open transportation is dangerous. The majority of the individuals who utilized it have left the region from improvement. [14:05] 130 individuals move to Austin consistently and the educational system has lost enlistment six years straight, basically on the grounds that individuals with kids can no longer stand to live in Austin, so they are moving East, away. [14:26] Marc doesn't care for what his town was transforming into. It was additionally during the seven day stretch of SXSW, which devours the focal city, with 40-50,000 individuals visiting. SXSW is currently for the most part fashionable person' guests. Local people avoid SXSW. [15:03] Marc as of late observed photographs posted on Facebook of Austin downtown in 2010 and 2017 and it has changed â€" which is one motivation behind why it has gotten so costly, and one motivation behind why it has driven the Millers out. [15:25] Marc drove up to Lakeway and gave the Multi-Generational Workplace talk that he shared on this web recording in Episode 111 and Episode 112. This occasion was an introduction for medical clinic managers in rustic districts. [15:46] That left the remainder of the visit for the Millers to complete their stuff. They got the vehicle enrolled and assessed and purchased Mrs. Mill operator's food supplements, which filled the vehicle. They additionally prepared their bikes overhauled and to go â€" with the exception of the pedals on Mrs. Mill operator's bicycle, left away, so Marc requested new pedals from Amazon.com.mx! [16:26] The Millers filled the remainder of their time reconnecting with the same number of individuals as they could. They disposed of stuff from capacity and began re-pressing the vehicle. Marc shared photos of the pressed vehicle on Facebook. They wound up with around 13 milk container cartons loaded up with enhancements and garments. [17:08] They abandoned some stuff to get in October and end their rental of their extra space. [17:21] The Millers drove back to Laredo on Sunday evening and had arrangements at the Laredo Mexican Consulate Monday morning to apply for Mexican occupant visas. They required two visa pictures for every one of them, rounded out applications, a year worth of bank explanations or speculation articulations to show satisfactory resources. [18:01] You should show that you've had over $100K in resources in the course of the most recent a year or $2,400 per month in benefits pay or Social Security for a changeless visa. For a transitory visa, you should show $20K in resources or $1,200 every month in annuity pay. The Millers both qualified. [18:34] Mrs. Mill operator applied for a changeless inhabitant visa and Marc applied for an impermanent occupant visa. The vehicle is in Marc's name, and you can't welcome a vehicle into Mexico on a lasting occupant visa. [18:56] Their arrangements were for 10:00 and 10:30 a.m. Mrs. Mill operator got in about 9:40. Marc got in about 10:30. They were out by 11:15. They were at the Mexican Consulate a few squares from the fringe. It was genuinely simple. [19:20] The Millers decided to do it in Laredo, rather than at the Mexican Consulate in Austin, is that in Laredo they do parts and loads of these visa applications and they are not exacting. [19:38] The Millers have a neighbor, John, in Ajijic, who had applied through the Consulate of Mexico in Dallas. He needed to come back to the department multiple times. The Laredo office runs predictably. They get individuals in and out. It's an incredibly, bustling spot. [19:59] The following morning, the vehicle stuffed to the gills, the Millers crossed the scaffold to Mexico at around 7
