Last day

Here we sit on the last day.  We have seen quite a bit of sun lately.  Last shot for any special requests.  We've gotten pretty dark, the sun has been good to us.  So far, no extraordinary burns.  I gave up on the sunscreen , figuring I'm okay now.  

Would be an interesting night and day.  We leave our hotel 1:45 am.  Flight leaves at 5:10 am arriving back at yvr at 9:05 and Smithers at 7:45 pm. The Lord willing.  Who knows what will happen between now and then, but we are hoping all will go smoothly.  Looking forward to seeing our loved ones once again and those we won't see at least being able to talk to them WHENEVER WE WANT.  Free wifi, free long distance, Skype, all the pleasures of a free country!

Beach day

Beautiful sun shiny day.  Took advantage of it and sat at the beach for most of the day.  Dad had fun feeding seagulls and flying a kite.  He later gave it to a young lad and his dad who had hours of fun with it.  Cheap entertainment.  While we were there a pelican came and kept the sun worshipper a company.  So cute, it was like he belonged there.

Thanks Mark and Keri

When mark and Keri were home for Christmas, they downloaded a website for the Canadian traveller.  One day I decided to read about some rules and regulations in Cuba.

I found it quite interesting, and enlightening.  Dad was talking about renting a car.  Well they said, don't rent a car, should you get get into an accident and inadvertently injure someone, you'll be automatically  found guilty and improsoned until your trial where you will have to prove your innocence.  Mrs. Locked Up Abroad expert is a little paranoid when it comes to that.  Upon entering Cuba there was a question as to whether you were carrying nRcotics to which I of course checked yes.  Well I could not sleep for the entire flight because of that.  Of course Mrs. Locked Up Abroad expert is also Mrs. Border Patrol expert.  Guess I could call myself a reality show expert.  Regardless, they simply took our cards without even looking at them and said have a nice stay.  The other day at the market a lady who had made some hats for us was saying how sore her neck was and of course I was thinking, well I have something for WHATEVER ails you!  Thank goodness Mrs. Locked UP Abroad expert came into play!

Well that's a bit of a rant again, just thought you might be interested. 

One more funny thing though about that website.  They caution about using those old cars that they have turned into taxis.  Their reason?  Well they don't don't have airbags, and some don't even have seatbelts!  Well thank you Government of Canada!  I would have never thought of that!

More golfing

These guinea fowl were quite something.

From where we are on the golf corse you can feel the spray on your face.

Arnold Palmer

Get smart

Not even sure if you guys know who agent 99 from get smart is, but my watch stopped working.  Not knowing what time it is is very frustrating, even if it doesn't matter.  Go into a store where the shampoo and those sort of this are behind the counter.  Asked to look at a watch that was in the display case.  First she had to call someone from the back, that lady took a key to open the locked drawer that held the key to open the display case.  I guess I should mention the watch was worth $17.00  well we found some more bargains a t shirt and some stuff for the kids the weather is hot right now we are loving it. Soon to back to the resort they have. Bus line pay 5 peso and you can ride it all day . We went to see are friends at the one market we bought some things for the boys Curt I think you can make some money with this thing or maybe I can before I give it to him or Jon or mark ? Maybe even pay for our trip .well that's alli got for now back to your mom.

Seeing a whole lot of "paid for" Latino women with older men.  As if we don't know what they're doing.

While we were buying the watch, the clouds came in, temperature dropped a whole lot and it got darker.  A few minutes later a torrential downpour.  Glad we are where we are.

That I hope you can see how hard it's raining,  but the rest of the day has been nice so it's okay for a little while.  Looks like it will pass shortly.
