We packed 40 years of life into six suitcases, hustled a cat through TSA, and landed in Mérida with no plan—just vibes. In this episode we unpack the chaos of downsizing, why we flew instead of driving through Mexico, how Leo survived the flight (thanks, vet-approved meds), and what we’d pack differently next time. If you’re moving abroad with a partner—or a pet—steal our wins and dodge our mistakes.
