Well, we got into Puerto Rico last night (Friday 11/4).

The flight out of Orlando went pretty well, though we did have a little medical adventure. Pushing away from the gate the kid (12 yrs old) behind us started to have “heart problems”…of course, his medicine is in his checked in bag (duh!). Okay, so we are lucky and someone else on the plane uses the same medicine. Horray! I think, here we go! So we taxi out, get on the runway…and…the kid has a panic attack and “needs” to get off the plane! Back to the gate we go, to sit for 2 hours while they try to pull their damn bags off the plane (unload/reload/refuel). Anyhow, once we finally got off the ground things went well and we got in at 6 PM AST (4 PM CST).

We’re spending the next couple of days in Arecibo until we can pick up our car on Monday. Hopefully that goes okay…it’s probably going to be an all day affair.

Checked out Evelyn’s parent’s farm/house today and their land is pretty big. Lots of plants…plus chickens, dogs, and a cow for good measure. There is a horse farm right next door, so Evelyn is pretty happy with that.

There is still a TON of work to be done at the house, both inside and out, and we probably won’t be able to even live in there for a couple of weeks. But once we get the inside in decent shape, there will be lots to do outdoors.

For those drunken Savo people out there, there’s a veranda, and next door they have cockfighting every weekend. What more could you ask for? We really need someone who is willing to shovel cow manure.

(P.S. I don’t have internet access @ home, but we did find an internet cafe with good access, so I’ll be checking e-mail once or twice a week.)
