We boarded a very hot bus at two. It was 39 degrees out and humid. The poor bus a/c couldn't keep up. But a few of the crew brought cold beers and started handing them out. I took one that time!
The transat plane was full to the max. Kathy had done the seat selections and had scored front seats for her and Kerry and row four for me. I sat beside a fairly chunky young woman and her husband. And she was truly beyond terrified of flying. I felt bad for her. She was like a frozen statue! Later, she did tell me that she had been in a plane crash, a sea plane up in Prince Rupert one year ago! I was pretty impressed with her courage.
About four hours into the flight the captain came on to tell us that there was a problem with the oil level in the right engine and we would be making an emergency landing in Kansas City. Achh jeez! The poor girl beside me almost died. It still took another hour about to get there and land.
We sat on the plane for about two hours until they fixed the problem. It was fun...everybody talking and making jokes and complaining about the temp in the plane etc. Finally we were on our way.
The drive home was uneventful and we finally pulled into my driveway around six in the morning. I opened a bunch of mail, drank a V8 and went to bed. About nine Graeme showed up with Tank. A very muddy dirty Tank I must say. He went off roading up in Bach and Monte told him to leave the dirt on the jeep...that I would like that! And he was right! Clean jeeps are for sissies!
Today I am going to have to get dressed and go buy food. I am hungry and I need healthy stuff..no more bologna sammiches. I also have to take a picture of fat me and post it. Every monday! I am going to also post the first pics of the place in Mexico. For the next couple of posts I am going to post some pics. TTYL

Your hotel looks kind of dated? would you stay there again or? Luv your pink top! Question: Did you ever resolve your Maui condo/money issue? We're have the same nightmare B.S. with selling some property in Bellingham,Wa and I just wondered how you ended up making out. I almost feel like saying forget it, the cost and paperwork isn't worth this stress...
