Hallelujah, we got up early and we got our FM3’s done. We got there at 11 and only had to wait maybe 2 minutes then we went up to the counter for the guy to look over our paperwork. All was in order so he gave us the factura (invoice) to take to the bank to pay for the renewals, it was 1240 pesos each. We needed 3 copies of the receipt and the original for the immigration off (why I have no idea) so we went to the bookstore to get the copies and they don’t do that anymore, so back to Guadalajara Pharmacia to get the copies then back to the immigration office. Another girl looked after us so she went through all our documentation again then gave us each a piece of paper to track when they will be ready to be picked up. Once those are in our hot little hands it’s off to Edmonchuk to sell Betsy that will be a very sad day, we love her soooooooooooo much, we are looking forward to one more long ride in her before we sell her hopefully to a girl by the name of Linda. She has called us numerous times and is looking forward to seeing Betsy, she says she wants to buy her, I guess we’ll see. If we do sell her right away we are going to buy a van (Derek, Pam’s husband is picking one out for us from the auction) and then drive her back.

We will be bringing Lucky baby with us, cause the house sitter can’t be responsible for her. If we do fly back we will bring Lucky Baby on the plane with us. I’m going to get Bagel fixed before we leave and have the vet look at Baby and give me some type of documentation that she is healthy.

Our house sitter is Felix, a good friend of Gina’s (she owns a salon in PV) and he and Gina are coming over right away so we can meet him. He is living with Gina right now, so he will look after our house and critters for letting him stay here. Gina says he is great, he looks after the father-in-law of one of the owners of a restaurant here in Bucerias, and to top it all off he speaks English!
After we got back from immigration we got our scooters and took off for the very first time to PV. It was fun, it was very good that we had the headsets though, I wouldn’t go there otherwise. Of course we had to take Lucky Baby with us, she was great!

We first went to KFC for lunch, yum, I had a 2 piece extra crispy and Ross had the 3 piece regular, of course we had some mashed potatoes and gravy with coleslaw and Pepsi! The we went to Plaza Caracol (the mall) to pick up a collar for Bagel, his baby one was too small and the other ones I have were too big, we got one just right. We stopped at Wallyworld and Sam’s to get some clear goggles, Ross went in to look, I tried to feed Lucky Baby, she just wanted to play! We are sleeping less and playing more. I brought out another LARGE storage container for the playpen. Ross went to another store to get the goggles so I went home without him, but he ended up meeting up with me anyway, traffic jam, the store was closed between 2 and 4 (a lot are). We stopped at Wallyworld in Mezcales, I bought a headband to keep my hair off my face while on the scooter and Ross couldn’t find goggles but he did find a soccer ball for Jake. We met Gina in the parking lot we talked about Felix the guy she wants us to use for house sitting.

We got home and called Felix to ask he if he could come over, Gina brought him over around 5:30 (just as Ross was leaving for his meeting) and he seems like a great guy. Very personable and he has a very nice and trusting face (if that means anything, Gina also recommended him so that’s good too). He seems to like the house and the animals so we are going to get back together around the 10th he will stay for an hour or so, so we can show him everything he needs to know.
Well Ross is at his meeting and I am not finished with my blog, so I’m gonna say adios for now, we’ll talk to you soon.
