Packing Day

The sun is shining and there is a gentle breeze coming in our front door.  The ocean waters are brilliant turquoise, the palm trees are gently swaying and there are a couple people relaxing at the pool.

We are packing to go back to Arkansas. 

We have been scheduling our menus for the last several days to try to finish everything in the refrigerator.  We did pretty good but there are still a lot of condiments we will be giving to our neighbors.


We have been rationing our alcohol also.  We have lots of beer and soda in the refrigerator but our rum has to last.

They charge a deposit on all soda and beer bottles, as well as the cases, so we are borrowing our neighbors golf cart to return our empties and the cases—about $16US worth.


We are leaving many articles of clothing we brought with us.  Our security guard has six children and if his family can’t use them, they can give them to someone who can.  We are filling the space this provided us with all of the souvenirs we bought.




Of course Gail feels like we need to clean-especially the windows, she likes clean windows.  Fortunately there is only one that has glass in it but she cleans the screens on the others.


Tomorrow morning we have to be at the airport at 8:00am.  We take a plane from here to Belize City.


These planes hold 11 people counting the pilot and there is no co-pilot so one of the passengers sets in that seat—usually one of the good looking ones. 
Then it is off to Houston and XNA.  We arrive home at 5:30.
