2023-11-20 Travel Home

Louise and I slept in until 7:00.  I made our usual breakfast, and then hauled what we hadn’t used to the Party Palace.  Avacado, Tomato, Mayonase, bread, butter, etc.

I gave each of Charles and Tristan 1000mx as a thank you.  They seemed appreciative.  We said goodbye, and Charles said if I couldn't arrange a vehicle in January, he would be happy to drive my stuff up to my house.  Very nice of him.

Our shuttle arrived at 9:00 as scheduled.  Andy, George and Chad came over to say goodbye.  We were in a very nice Suburban.  It may be a vehicle I will have to look at as a van replacement.
Our ride was comfortable.  Our driver had a great music playlist, and I made a note of a couple of potential windsurfing songs.

On the way we were amazed again by how green everything is, and at all the washouts.

We got to the airport in lots of time and whisked through our check-in and security with no wait at all.

We changed and then went for lunch at the food court.  We had pizza and a salad for lunch.  It was by far our most expensive meal of the trip at 850MX.

While we waited, I caught up on this log

We did an inventory of our cash.  We brought 15000mx, and went home with 1400MX.  We also spent $300US on the shuttle.

Our flight was on time, and the weather for the first half of the flight was clear.  We had great views of La Ventana, and then the Mexican desert, then Arizona.  We saw where the Colorado River is Dammed, near Page, Arizona, and then a bunch of Canyons, although we found out later not the Grand Canyon.

We arrived home on time at 6:40.  Customs went smoothly and we got our luggage without incident.  The Park n Fly bus came just as we walked out, so we got to the van quickly.

We stopped at the A&W in Niscu for supper (Teen Burger, Moma Burger, fries and a hot chocolate).  The temperature was only -2 and there was no snow anywhere to be seen, so the drive home was easy, although our engine light came on - I will have to figure out what that is about.

We got home before 9:00.  I unpacked some of our stuff, and left our suitcases on the balcony to freeze any critters who may have hitched a ride home with us.

Great trip - nice to be home!
