Yes, the time has finally come to leave the snowy northern climate and go on that 2 week holiday in Mexico! I had trepidation at leaving the home & native land for so long, but we paid for the tickets… so off we go. Dayna’s dad rented a three bedroom condo in Bucerias, so he (Barrie) & his wife Helen, the three of us (Dayna & Dean, Eric) and Dayna’s brother and family (David & Jennifer, Drew, Matt, Emily) are all going to spend two weeks there in the sun by the ocean.
So the flight is at 07h00 on Wednesday the 22nd. That means that I start to pack Tuesday, right? Well I did do some on Monday, as we had an ERLPhase Christmas party on Tuesday evening (Celebrations, was good!). We scramble to get some last minute packing done, then crash around say 23h30. Well, Eric didn’t crash, he still had laundry to do (a man after me own heart!). We’re up at 03h30, had a stretch limo show up at the house at 04h15, off to airport. Why a stretch limo? Well any old limo would do – but a stretch is what they sent. With the three of us and our big suitcases (yikes we have dozens of suitcases but we must have picked the three largest ones!), we did not want to ride with suitcases on our laps.
Anyway, a quick trip to the airport, check in, through security, and… ugh, wait wait wait! Check this out, do I look tired, or what? Fighting it, but in vain…
