The Beginning

So, I naively think, all we have to do is pack and we're out of here. Well, three trips back to the suitcase store and a few 'phone calls from Alfred (don't forget ...) we are finally ready to go. I look around, six large suitcases and three carry-on and three purses? Didn't we already send all our stuff? Wasn't it just clothes left? Apparently not. New lesson learned: girls can always find more to pack!

Up at 4:30 am and off to the airport. It was so hard to say goodbye to Rafe and Adrianne but I didn't end up crying all the way to the airport as I had feared. I was just too tired!

Lunch and layover in Minneapolis were very uneventful. See:

On to Houston. We are staying over night. That means we have to claim ALL of our luggage and lug it to the hotel and back. Thank goodness for hotel bellmen that jump to our rescue. One even picks up our luggage in the morning and drives us to the airport. Kinda humourous as we are staying in the hotel in the airport. He drives us from the hotel between terminals C and D to terminal E. Then it's on to Belize.

We are all settled into our house now and mostly unpacked. Want a tour? OK.

Come on in my front door. Yes, that's the view out the door but you are supposed to be looking in, remember? We are touring the house not the sea.

That's better. So this is the living room. Cosy. The couch faces the TV. No, we don't have TV but we can watch movies. If anyone wants to send us a present you could burn some episodes of House or Bones or Criminal Minds. Alright then, on with the tour. We continue in past the living room and we are in the kitchen. There are Brynn and Kori making a snack. The working space is a little small but there is a large kitchen table and an island as well.

Next the bedrooms. Ours is to the right of the living room as you come in the front and Kori's is to the left. At the back to the left of the kitchen are the stairs to Brynn's room. Here's 0urs: Bed and bathroom to the left.

Kori has a blue room. Sometimes I think she'd be happy if we just left her there all day!

Now to the stairs and up to Brynn's room. Brynn has two balconies off her room. One to the front and one to the back. The picture is of the front balcony.

Well, that's all folks. For now anyway. Don't forget to stop by the pool and say goodbye to Brynn and Kori. Have a good one!!
