So here we are... in Marina La Cruz. Earlier than expected but it seems like we should have gotten here even sooner. My father, who is 82, is having some health issues and had to go to the ER twice in April (so far), so we had to make our way from Bug blas, er, San Blas to La Cruz at night. The marina is smaller, than say, Marina Maz, but definitely a better looking one with the town in full view on one side. There is another Gemini Catamaran here, so we are definitely not the smallest boat here. All of the people here are super nice, something that we have found at most of our destinations.
Of course, let me tell you about my new friend, Tami. She is totally nice, great looking and has a beautiful family and boat. She started a "kids' club" here in La Cruz, and so now people with kids are drawn here. Are L&T just loving that, or what? On top of that, Teresa has been having a ball playing with Abby and Leo is just hanging out with Christian and being "dudes" with him by playing on their Wii (btw, Gene the dad? is totally a cool dude to play Wii with also, according to Leo Boleo). New besties? who knows? If I could only cook as well as Tami can, then we will never lose the weight from the states!
Great people all around us, great attitudes and energy in this place. I am looking forward to exploring the little town here and eating at some of the restaurants here. Anna Bananas for breakfast, anyone?
Having said the above, it makes me a bit sad to know that I need to leave next Tues. and fly to San Diego to help Dad with his kidney problems. I am going to be flying Volaris, an airline that Gwyn & Joan took to Maz from TJ and had a great experience with. So that will be my next little adventure next week, flying into TJ and taking a cab to the pedestrian crossing at the border and having some nice friend or relative pick me up.
I hope that all of my friends are doing well and that I will get to see them when I get to the states. I'm not sure if I will be flying home to the boat again afterward, since John can stay on the boat until June 5th or so before he has to make his way to San Diego to get ready to fly out to Amman for work starting at the end of June. I'm also not sure if the kids are taking off with me, or staying to play until their dad drives the truck back with the dog. Those decision will have to be made later today. We have friends that will be staying on their boat for the hurricane season, so there is always the possibility that we will be coming back to the boat to hang out here, or take the trailer out of storage and go back to our activities in San Diego until Oct. Guess those decisions will be made soon, too.
Safe sailing to all our friends, whether you are on a boat or not.
