Texas
I’ll post more later, once I figure out how to connect our computer to Lorna’s modem, but we made it to Texas last night. Only problem is, our checked luggage didn’t.
We got to LAX at 9:00 a.m. for an 11:15 flight, then got bumped onto a Continental flight leaving at 2:45. The girls did amazingly well and had great attitudes. We flew to Houston, then took a short hop down to McAllen. The Things are getting very practiced at flying. As we got settled in on the short flight, Thing Two looked at me and said, I’ll have apple juice.
Reynosa Mexico is only 15 minutes from here but apparently isn’t very nice, so we’re all piling in Lorna’s truck and driving 40 minutes to Progreso while her beau Neil does some yardwork to prepare for the big barbecue tomorrow. Hey, when you’re in Texas, ya gotta have barbecue! Anyhow, I expect we’ll come home from Mexico with some cowgirl boots and blouses.
If they haven’t gotten us our luggage w/in 24 hours of our landing, they’ll give us $$, and we’ll hit the 24-hour Wal-Mart near here. Zib, I’m afraid that if we don’t get our luggage, I will have lost all your gifties. The stuff for Kiddo can be replaced, but the stuff for you & the Man can’t exactly be bought at Wal-Mart. Sigh…
