Home at last jiggitty jig

What a day of travel. We checked out of our room at 04:50. Transfer to the airport was at 05:50. We had the usual stops at a couple more resorts. All this for a 09:20 flight, all went well for us if you don't mind listening to people complain about stopping at other resorts. Unless you take a cab this is pretty standard. Of course the same people didn't mind pushing Dianne who was holding a sleeping Anika out of the way to get on the transfer bus. As usual Karma eventually caught up to them, when we were ushered to the front of the line because of the kids. The flight was supposed to be seven and a half hours long, but luckily it was only seven. Front of the line through customs and luggage pick up. Even through the last customs check without any machete questions. Whew...Karma people karma. We noticed that the people who pushed in front of us were behind us at every turn. The southern Rumbles picked us up at the Calgary airport. It was so great to see our family when we got back to Canada. Then it was into the van for the next leg of our journey to Dianne's parents house to celebrate the momentous event of Ross's 70th birthday. We had a great meal complete with cake and ice cream. Everyone got back into the van this time including Kelsey who stood at the door as soon as we got our shoes on. We got to the house around 10ish. Ahhhh...........it's so nice to be at home in our own bed............but who's going to do all this laundry? And who turned off the heat in Edmonton?

Need I say more?????????

Rental return



Today I left the resort to return the car and get souvenirs. The car broke down for the final time today, had to call a mechanic, better today than on the road to Meches. Got that all straightened out then Brad and I took his bike to the grocery store. Who needs magnets when you can buy rum and machetes, man I love it here. the girls spent another day at the pool bar. hard living for sure. Supper tonight was at the seafood restaurant. WOW WOW WOW the food here is great.

A nice visit





The Pears got a day pass yesterday,and spent the day with us. What a great time, I was a little late in the morning because I met a couple of guys from the eastern Seaboard. Spent more time visiting with them than I planned. So when the Pears got here it was a slow start. Not too slow because Dianne and Anika usually get up in the morning and go for breakfast. When they get back it is usually time for Sydney and I to get up. My girls went to the beach and got braids first thing this morning(read noon). Then we spent a good part of the day at the pool bar, you can never go wrong there, drinks-water what could happen. Dianne took everyone down the beach for paddle boat rides and sea kayaking, Brad and I were going to go but like I said how can you go wrong at the pool bar. After a great day with the Pears I drove them home and got back in time for showtime. When I got there Sydney had won a shirt dancing on stage while I was gone. Anika was asleep and Di wasn't far behind. So they went home and Syd and I partied the night away at showtime. They get up first in the morning and go to bed early, Sydney and I stay up all night and sleep in every morning. same as at home.

More castles



Today the girls were going to go to kids club, and we were going to chill out. Scratch that, Sydney couldn't get into hers and Anika got into a fight. Oh well, there's always the beach. So...........we went to the beach, you know castles, waves good times had by all. the Pears came to see us after lunch, and we had a good visit with them, Dianne and Barb did some sneaky "Charlie's angels" stuff and found out that they can have a day pass at the resort for a very affordable price. After they left the beach we meet a couple from New York and their 3 year old son. Great people it was a nice visit, and good to hear someone else's perspective. We came came home, cleaned up and went for supper at the Japanese restaurant. WOW WOW WOW This is by far my favorite meal yet. Afte rsupper we took the train back to our room and Sydney and Anika got to "drive".............what a thrill!!!!!!!!!!!!!
