Still on vacation. Bruce has been enjoying his new motorcycle, he finds many reasons each day to run get something or the other. I am glad he is enjoying it but same time I worry about safety with the way cabs drive around here. Spending lots of time at north beach and in the pool. Too hot to do much but veg and relax
We had a couple trips to Cancun to shop for patio furniture, ended up getting patio chairs at Costco, i was not impressed with the tables so we will get that next time. We found a great cab driver to haul is allover to shop. I also was able to get a couple small tables for the downstairs. Now I have a place to put all that suntan lotion and bug spray. I got his number so you can be sure we will call him everytime for now on
Had a great massage from Mary Ann, her husband finally is out of the hospital. He was there for quite some time with H1N1 it was touch and go several times.
We had a nice dinner at French Bistro and headed home. We eat dinner late on Isla because it doesnt cool off until after dark. Bruce had a nice big T-Bone maybe a full tummy will help him sleep, I had kebobs. Both were very good.
We took a leisurely drive around the island home. When we almost made it home there were 3 motorcycles and a cop car chasing down a bull that got away from the rodeo last week. They have been chasing 4 of them all week trying to catch them. Dang thing almost run into our golf cart he was more scared then we were.
We got up early had BLT's from Elements very good. Bruce took a short hammock nap and we played tourists in the afternoon doing some shopping. Stopped by Soggy Peso for pineapple juice and a pina coloda for me.
Some friends Tim & Joanne came out to spend the night it was nice to have company but I realized I need to send a new blender down with Jeremy next week.
We go home early Sunday so we make it an early evening, but I had to shop for Jamica to take home. Just cant get that in Medford .
I offered to leave the golf cart with Maryann so she can get her husband around until he can around.

vacation week 8-29-09
Isla still has all the charm and friendly people. It is so great to come back home to my friends, Donna Jane, Mary Ann, Dani, Paco, Julie & Dean, Mark Carmita & Jim and all the friends we have in town. We have been relaxing and taking it easy all week.
Were eating very well. Great Ribs at Soggy Peso, love the Rolandi pasta special, Vivans salads and cuban sandwiches and potatoes to die for, fish tacos at Bally Hoo, breakfasts at the luncherias, cochinita, great BLT from Elements.
Drinks well Bruce is on NA beer but me I made a list of my favorites. Bloody Mary's at Soggy Peso, Mojitos at the Vive Cuban Resturant, Pina Colada at Villa Bella, Margarita's from Bally Hoo.
Picked up the golf cart and Moto. Bruce is like a big kid with his new toy, need anything he will jump at any chance to run get it for me. I am loving having our own cart. We did have a little problem with one wheel, drove to town and got it fixed for 200 pesos.
It is really hot here, but I am not complaining at all. We are on a 2 hour time difference so we have been rising really early with the sun and staying up reading each night. We spend most of our days cooling off in the pool.
We have the best caretakers. Donna is fabulous, Paco our gardner is the nicest guy, Luis our pool boy is just the cutet kid.
We came home from dinner and town to find the washer had overflowed and we had 6" of water in the laundry room. Luckily it is a stepdown and we spend about an hour bailing out water. I wonder what it is about water and my houses some karma for sure. When we finished Bruce took his shot and tossed and turned all night. Neither of us slept much. because it has been very hot so I had turned on the A/C to try to make him comfortable but no such luck.
We bought a double hammock from a vendor who came to the door. We had Paco come over and install Hammock hooks. After breakfast Bruce fell asleep in his new hammock for a couple hours how cool is that.
Spent some time at north beach and actually scored on pool lounge chairs at Queen Bar -- now we dont have to lug them back on the ferry --hooray
I have been using magic jack for US phone calls and works great and free calls so I can talk to the kids any time I want. This is the coolest thing ever.

Isla here we come
Bruce and I have to get up early and fly tomorrow to Isla. We are both looking forward to the trip but I am worried he will be sick while flying. We got up early 4 am to head out. Long flights and Bruce was uncomfortable the whole way. Two little boys behind us kicking seats, 3 more across the isle so no rest on the flight from Salt Lake to Cancun. We get settled have dinner a quick swim and head to bed.
His aches seem to get a little more tolerant as time goes by.
We have 2 weeks to relax and enjoy.
This one of the few vacations where we have no plans to work like manics but to relax. Well we do want to do some shopping for new patio chairs and furniture.
The water is still the same color- sometimes I cant quite remember all those colors, but they are still there. This trip is just Bruce and I been a long time since we have been on vacation alone.
