I was up at 4:45 am to get
ready to leave for our fishing trip at 5:30 am and pick up Chris at 6:00 am. We
couldn’t find where we were supposed to go and did a lot of driving around and
ask people and everyone told us something different. So we were late getting
there and then was told by the Charter Company that our fishing trip was booked
for next Monday. They said that we could still go but would to wait for a boat
and crew. So we decide to cancel for today and go tomorrow. It was probably a
good thing anyway as a painter was coming to do painting today and Darren
really needed to be here for that. Chris and Sheryl came over late morning. To
get away from the paint smells the owner let us go up to the roof top patio for
the day. Darren wants to see about using it on a regular bases. No time for
cooking so we ordered in pizza from Domino’s. After the Painter left Darren,
Brooke, and Wyatt made trip to Wal-Mart. I stayed with Harper. We had leftover
pizza for supper. No sunset this evening as it is raining.

Today is my lovely wife’s
birthday. So sweet heart have a great day, wish I could be there to celebrate
with you. We will have to have a date night when I get back. It was near 7:30
am when I got out of bed. I was awake at 5:00 am but see any reason to get that
early. Darren fixed us scrambled eggs for breakfast. Then I worked the rest of
the day on the patio and finished with that project just before Brooke and
Wyatt arrived. Darren spent most of the day on the computer working from home
which is the way he will be doing his work from now on. He took a break to go
down to the meat market to get some chicken breast and then to the open air
market for vegetables and fruit. The plumber was here this afternoon to repair
the leak at the kitchen sink and replace the wax ring under the toilet which
was leaking. Brooke said that Wyatt was really good for the flight down and
even napped for about 45 minutes. Sandwiches and salad for supper. I am going
to bed early as we have to leave here 5:30 am to pick up Chris for our day of
deep sea fishing. Didn't get to see a sunset last night as was cloudy and raining.

I was awake at 5:00 am but
didn’t feel like getting up so stayed in until about 6:15 am. I was done with
the blog before Darren got up. Didn’t have any breakfast not even any coffee
for the last two days. We had an early lunch of turkey and cheese sandwich with
some chips. This afternoon we went to Home Depot, sure is a lot different than
the ones in the states. We bought an additional fan to help move the air. Also
got some screening to put up on the patio to keep Wyatt from falling through
and him from dropping toys over the side. When we got home I worked on putting
the screening around the patio. Also a guy came to fix the air conditioner, a
guy to fix the garage door, and the pool guy. So it was really busy around here
for a while. Darren went down to old town to get something for supper, things
were close so came back with some more sandwich meat. So it was a ham and
cheese sandwich with chips and a beer. The beer was so good that I had a second
one, only because it was so hot. That is my story and I am sticking to it.

If you have read
yesterday’s blog you already know that we drove straight through and got here
at 5:15 am. We checked out the house with realtor. Darren has to go around and
make list of things that need to be done with pictures so that they can’t make
him pay for something that he didn’t do. We got the car unloaded and everything
carried up to the third floor. It was really only one flight of stairs has you
come in at the second floor level. Darren is busy getting things unpacked. He
also made a trip to Wal-Mart to see about a highchair and crib for Wyatt. He
didn’t have any luck finding something. So Brooke is going to order something
on line and have it delivered. I took a badly needed shower and got myself
cleaned up while Darren was gone. Can’t drink the water so he bought a water
delivery service with a water cooler. I did lay down for a while and took a
short nap. I think I feel worse than I did before the nap, we had chicken and
cheese sandwiched for lunch along with some chips. Darren and I both laid down
this afternoon for a nap. It is hot here this afternoon and even the breeze is
very warm. We found that there is no remote for the air conditioner, so no
cooling. The air conditioner in Darren’s bedroom does work but the one in my
bedroom doesn’t work. Supposed to be someone coming tomorrow to fix it. This
evening we walked down to old town to have tacos for dinner and then walked on
down to the beach, couldn’t believe all the people that were there. We took a
cab back to the house as it is too steep of a walk back and hundreds of steps
to climb. We watched the sunset and then called it a night.

We were up at 4:00 am and
on our way by 5:05 am with a cup of coffee for me and a Red Bull for Darren.
About 40 miles from Laredo TX to fill up with gas and had a Subway breakfast,
not to our liking but it was something to eat. It cost us $3.50 at the US
border to get in Mexico. Next we weren’t sure where to go to get the Mexico
paper work done. We stopped at money exchange Where Darren got some money
exchanged and ask a guy that was there for money exchange if he knew where to
go and he said he was on his way there and we could follow him. I waited in the
car with Harper while Darren went in to get his paper work done. When he came
back it was my turn. Long story short it took us three hours, long lines to
wait in. We had eighteen miles to drive before crossing through Mexican customs
and figured we would be tied up there for an hour or more. But when we got
there they just waved us on through without stopping. We had another good day
as the 4 runner ran well and no problems. We did drive through a lot of rain in
the afternoon, also hail and then a dust storm and more rain. We had planned on
staying at Guadalajara for the night. Well it was 12:30 am when we got there
and would be well after 1:00 am before getting settled in a room. So we made
the decision to drive straight though to Puerto Vallarta and arrived at 5:15
am. We stopped at Wal-Mart which is open 24 hours a day. Darren pick up a few
things we needed this morning. It was 6:30 am when we got to Darren and Brooke’s
new place. At 7:00 am Darren texted the realtor and she came right over with
the keys so we could get in. This is the reason that the Blog is late today. I will
try to have pictures posted tomorrow.
