They're Here! They're Here!

I have to say it's very hard to wait a whole day while someone special is coming... we did a good job wasting time though. The best thing you can do is sleep in. So, we slept in until 9:30. The only problem with that was the breakfast ended at 10:00. Once we woke up, we had to hurry, hurry, hurry to get to breakfast on time.

After breakfast, we went upstairs to pack our bags and move to our new hotel. It was far so we had to take a taxi. Unfortunately, taxis are nightmares. 4 people, 4 suitcases, 4 backpacks, 2 violins and a charango is a crazy amount of stuff to put in one vehicle. We ride carrying things on our laps.

Once we got to the hotel and checked in, we took the tour, settled in and went to the pool. It was a very nice pool. On the first floor you pass through a room full of gym equipment then go out on a little deck and there's the pool. Most of the pool is in the sun, so the water is a nice temperature because it wasn't very deep.

Helen and I swam for half an hour before we got hungry and went to lunch. We found a nice place to eat lunch and sat outside while they served us a good lunch full of many courses. After lunch, we came back and took naps. I did not.

Finally, it was time to go to the airport. We decided to take the bus to the airport and take a taxi back. While we were at the bus stop, we bought flowers then got on the bus. 20 minutes into the bus ride, Mom went to the driver to ask when we would arrive at the airport. The driver responded, "This bus does not go to the airport". So, we had to get off and wait forever for a passing cab to take us to the airport.

We got there 20 minutes after their flight had landed. At least they were still there!!!

After many hugs and kisses we loaded up 2 taxis to take us to the hotel. In the hotel, we got more hugs and kisses. I think in the next week we will have lots of hugs and kisses.
