Thursday and Friday April 22nd and 23rd, 2010

Sue woke us up at the crack of 10am this morning letting us know that the los bomberos are ready to fill our pool. The truck came about 20 minutes later with Harold and they emptied the truck in the pool and it was only half full, yack! We started the hose out back and filled it a little bit more (we ran out of water in our tinaco), then another water truck showed up and filled up the pool.

I put my cleaning clothes on turned up Neil Diamond and started cleaning, yucky, (I tried 2 girls that I have used to clean and I couldn’t get a hold of either one) with Ash and Lisa coming Friday I couldn’t procrastinate any longer. I hate cleaning bathrooms along with dusting, vacuuming and all the other stuff. Oh well.
Our friend Tom brought a couple over to take a peek at Betsy, they have a smaller RV but with the grandkids they want a bigger one, they loved her and especially her slides so we will keep our fingers crossed.

Friday dawned cloudy, which was fine with us as the day before, the day I cleaned, it was blistering hot and humid. I was kinda sad for Ash coming today with clouds but there is not much we can do about that. Ross drove to Mega to pick up a spare phone so Ash would be able to communicate with us, came back home, gave me the phone and told me I had to stop in Vallarta at the big Telcel store at the mall so I could register it. Ross packed up the car with his drums and drove to the bar where he was playing then came back so I could take the car to register the phone and then pick up Ash.

I drove like a bat out of hell to the cell phone store (I only had about a half an hour window in which to register the phone and it is always busy before I needed to be at the airport). I was shocked and amazed when I walked right in, and got it handled in 5 minutes. It was so quick I stopped in Liverpool (the department store) to see if I could find a small funnel (I can’t seem to find one anywhere) I didn’t but I did find a small grater.

I drove to the airport and got there just minutes after the plane was to land and I just got out of the car and there was Ash and Lisa! The plane was a bit early and they breezed through customs, wow, I think that was a first ever!

I drove the girls to the resort, dropped them off to shower and went back at 5 to pick them up. We stopped off at the house first before going to the bar to show the girls the house and our new critters Jake and Yoda. We then drove to Ana Banana’s and as soon as we got there Barry (the owner) got on the mike and welcomed them to Mexico.

We had a great time, I had a BLT and the girls got a plate of nachos. The place was packed, we were so excited for Barry and Ana, we think they must have made a bit of money. I drove the girls back to the resort, after of course the band played pretty women, then drove back to La Cruz so Ross could pack up the drums in the car.

That is about it for now; hope everyone had a good week
