first day

Ok, I am going to start at the very beginning. Kara and I boarded the plane. My carry-on did not fit in the over head compartment so I had to unpack it and take a lot of stuff out in FRONT of everyone…embarrassing…

So I made it in one piece..sorry amanda, your red suitcase had some difficultiies, the small zipper part on one end broke and the contents of my life were sprawled for all of Mexico to see… I recovered everything so its ok. When we got off the plane we had to walk down the little stairs onto the runway, my dress flew up, Kara pulled it down at some point, great first impression I made. When we got inside the tiny airport we got at the end of the line for immigration and customs. We saw two ladies with posters of our names and they had Armando with them (who is our immigration man). They got us out of lline and we got to go to cut infront of the people on our flight and in front of two other flights… we were happy a lot of other people were not. We didn’t have to do one thing. They had people carry our luggage, do all of our paperwork, we felt very important. It was all stress free, well excepts for my suitcase losing all of its pieces on the conveyor belt.

We are now at the hotel which is amazing. Our lady Michelle and her husband are so nice. Very nice. I have decided I want to be the general manager of a hotel. They have lived all over the world. Im so jealous. Our hotel room is on the top floor overlooking the Sea of Cortes. There are amazing views in every direction. White sand beaches, hammocks all over the beach, and its really crowded at all. It’s a dream come true. Oh, we also found out that not only is our food included but alcohol as well. So we can swim up to as many bars as we want, they are in every pool. I promise mom I wont get drunk. I probably will limit myself to one drink do to the fact I havent had anything in over a month, I will have no tolerance.

I will try to write soon mom and give you details and send pictures. We drove by the school and its amazing. Oh, we found out the lady who owns it is the daughter of a very wealthy man who ran for president here (he lost but his name is held in high regards int his country)…so her son has terets and she wanted to open a school that wasn’t pressurised by standardised testing but a place that was more relaxed and open. So she did…I cant imagine having money like that…crazy
Kara and I are off to the beach and to get food. Love you and miss you all
