Tuesday, Feb 23 2010 A Surprising 29C with clear blue skies ... as usual
Just hitting the pool and sun. The last 5 days have been clear and could not ask for anything better except an occasional cloud to cool off. Sat on the beach for awhile today, periodically under the palapa and enjoyed the sounds, the smells and the view. Will miss it but also will enjoy getting back home to all that white stuff. The weather forecast looks better so that is a welcome home gift.
Lots of new "Gringos" coming in daily [mostly on Sundays and Momdays] and all very white! We were the same way when we arrived 29 days ago.
Managed to get another free golf round tomorrow from Linda Kennedy who is employed by Estrella Del Mar as a sales rep but whom has become our friend first and foremost. She will meet us after our round and we'll have lunch together at the clubhouse ... with a few cerveza thrown in I'm sure.
We are hoping to get back to Villa Union for one more kick at the cat for the last few goodies we want to take home, but not sure if we'll make it.
We have met so many friendly people and a large majority are Canadians. We will probably do one more posting before we leave so all you kiddies get on the edge of your seats for the grand finale.
Thanks again for all the fun emails we've been getting from y'all! It is really fun to hear what's going on in everyone's lives while we are so far away.
AND, Happy Belated Birthday to Sharon Dorosh [we're not telling how old she is [53]. And Happy upcoming birthday to Carol Munroe - Al's sister. We're not telling how old she is either [65]. Upcoming March B'Days of Sheila Coutts [52] and of course Patricia Ryan [49] the youngest of all her friends!! And best wishes to anyone we've missed - forgive us, we're old!!
Talk to you probably one last time before we leave. .
Love ya guys,
Al & Pat

Hey Guys!! WE see it’s still warming up there … which is just GREAT news as we arrive home Sat. Feb. 27th – 33 days I think after we left. We could not get a direct flight home (we did going down and it was 3 hours 45 minutes … ya gotta love those direct flights!) so we have to overnight in Edmonton. We don’t leave here until 4pm so we’ll have the whole morning to say Goodbye.
I think we’re getting ready to come home, but we will *certainly* miss the view, and the temps. Probably the hardest thing will be putting on clothes again – pants, sweaters, socks, coats, boots, mitts, toques … yup, keep those high temps coming!!
We’re catching some of the Olympics, but only in the evenings we’re home, and we only get US satellite here so we only get the US slant on things. You know, it’s just no wonder these people know nothing of the ‘outside’ world! Their news sucks, big time!!
I have been going online and reading newspapers to keep up with local news, plus the Internet keeps me informed of whatever I ask. Thankfully our curlers are doing great!! Sounds like their our best bet for medals! Too bad.
