All I can say is WOW! We just got back from Vallarta where we saw the show Avatar in 3D. The last time I watched anything in 3D was probably 20+ years ago! The technology sure has gotten better when I wasn’t looking! What a great show, we went to Plaza Caracol but the only show was in Spanish so we rushed to the Galleria Mall to the other cinemas and found it starting (in English and 3 D) at 3:20, Hurray! We went to the department store (Liverpool) to look around for some shoes for the wedding then met up in the TV department and shuffled off to (you thought I was gonna say Buffalo, didn’t you???) the movie theatre. Well, you should never let Ross put his own butter on the popcorn, that’s what this theatre does and he ended up with at least 1” of butter in the bottom of his LARGE popcorn bucket…..he even suggested he put too much on. We were told by Jennifer to make sure we didn’t drink much so we wouldn’t have to go pee during the movie (3 hours) because you won’t want to, well she was right, you don’t want to get out of your seat as James Cameron has surpassed himself, this movie is phenomenal. The last movie he did was Titanic and apparently this movie has surpassed the money they received from that show.
Other than us going to the movie not much happened today. We did try to buy some greeting card software at Office Depot and Office Max, but no such luck. I think I might have to ask someone to bring something down for me. Because all the cards are in Spanish I have been printing off my own cards to mail out for birthdays but all the software I have only has a couple a program and if I’m gonna do this I need lots to choose from (I needed to add –in-law to Jessie’s birthday card before I could send it out! I think I might ask Stephanie to pick a disk up for me from Future shop or somewhere, so I have a choice.

Actually tomorrow is the time (the 1st of every month) I give the critters their flea and tick medication, but when I was in Vallarta I stopped to get the cats theirs, (Wallyworld doesn’t have any for cats) so I gave them all their stuff, except of course for Sunshine, who is still living on the roof. I will have to get him eventually, I always do. We sat up on the Bucerias weather station as we have been seeing lightning. But all that is happening is fireworks from the De Cameron and a bit of lightning out to the east, in the mountains.

Tomorrow Francisco finishes painting our front and will start on the other little things we need done. Ross is driving to Guayabitos to pick up Bruce and Bernice; they are coming to visit one more time before they leave in a week or so! They will stay in the motor home Monday night and we will hang with them Tuesday once we are back from the office (we have a meeting at 9:30).

We are watching a very strange movie; it’s all about prisoners of war in Vietnam dealing with living in a prisoner camp and trying to find a way out (it’s called Rescue Dawn). It is 23 here, 21 in Cancun, 0 in Greenville and -11 in Edmonton (at this time 9:40 Central time), we are so looking forward to Cancun in 2 weeks, we leave the 17th of February. I have my dress, shoes, Ross’s stuff, we are ready to go.

Adios from Paradise

Ross Kim and Critters!
