Another day in paradise

November 11, 2010 (1030pm)


Today we were able to get online and video chat with some family members. It felt really good to be able to hear from them. I never realized how much you miss your family until you are gone for awhile and in another country where we are here not just to visit the sights but to bond with our child. It is so different from if we were on vacation here. We are sort of stuck here until someone else tells us we can leave. So I cannot really enjoy things or relax since the anticipation of our paperwork is still happening.

We woke up early today and fed MV some oatmeal and left over rice/chicken from last nights dinner. Then we went out to the shoreline at the XXXX scuba shop and sat with the cool breeze from the ocean. It was very beautiful and nice for the 3 of us just to be out there in the cool weather. It lasted only about 1 hr but then it became so hot already. So we came back into our hotel room and MV took a shore nap. Then we borrowed the key to our lawyers office to go online. This is when we were able to chat with our families and our friend, Linda. It was so so nice to hear from them. Then we went to get lunch at La Bodgie and came back gain to email our family. Around 4pm we went back to the hotel since the power went out in our lawyers office. Our hotel, RRE has back up generators so we are fine. Then we went to dinner at DAR restaurant at 5pm. We were there til close to 7pm and it was already dark outside. Wayne being protective dad made us walk fast to get back to the hotel. I felt fine and safe there but daddy wayne wanted us to get back to hotel ASAP. We put MV to bed and she is still asleep.

Thought of day: Everyone is out and about when it gets dark here since it is much cooler. It is like there social hour. Kids running around in the streets and neighbors just chatting and walking in the dark. We just realized how small this island is because our hotel is on one side of ocean shore and when we went to DAR restaurant it was on other coastline and it is not even 1/4mile from one side island to the other.
