Back in Mexico

Been an interesting week, first just getting off the boat was an adventure all its own. Seas were coming up so we did not know if the chopper could land or not, then it was a wild ride back to land staying low and close to the water so the pilots could see. Once on land it was easy getting to the Airport, but not a sure thing what time the flights would take off. As luck had it I was lucky at both New Orleans and Houston, flight took off close to on time and I arrived in Dallas at 5pm. Only been going since 10pm the night before so was starting to drag. Now time to find the car rental and a hotel for the night. Once outside Dallas ( 2.5 hours later ) traffic I found a hotel and called it a day. Skipped dinner, took a shower and crashed at 9pm for the night.

For the next few days I stayed at our house in Wills Point, only problem was a broken water pipe that meant the water was shut off.. Oh, Joy... Now the main reason for coming back was to get meds that Kay needs to take and can not find in Merida... It took from Friday the 5th until Tuesday the 9th to get all the correct meds, can not do this often... Cost too mush to reschedule airline tickets and rent a car for a week...

Made it back to Merida the 10th of Feb. 2010... Since then Kay and I have spoken and we will go back to Texas and regroup. Need to find a place that is close enough to the border to allow us to drive out when meds are needed.. Looking at places between 600 and 800 miles form the border... So that is were we are today, packing and getting ready to hit the road again...
