A Slight Change in Plans

Hey everyone.


Today, Mom, Dad, Mike and Kelly went into town. Mom and Kelly did the laundry, which was good since we had three bags of it. After that, they went to the big Wing Wong market (No, it’s not really called that. All of the grocery stores here are run by Asians, and the names are so similar it’s impossible to remember them all. Kong Hing, Hing Hong, ect.) and got some last minute provisions. The usual beer, coca cola, wine, (Cruising staples. Rum is too, but we have plenty.) and other things. Mom got me and Dylan new mattress covers and pillows, as they get smelly and a bit mouldy in this damn humidity!

Dad and Mike went over to the customs office at around 7:30 to ask if we could check out now and leave a bit later (Normally, you have to check out the same day you leave- a huge pain in the ass!). Luckily, one of Dad’s girlfriends was there, (The one he met when we checked in.) so we got an okay. We got our guns back as well. Dylan was happy about getting Timmy back, (He named his speargun...) and was yelling “Timmah! Timmah Timmah!!!” for a few minutes. (You’ll get it if you’ve watched South Park.)

Rum Boogie invited us over for dinner, so when Dad and Mike got back, which was a little past 8 pm, we headed over. Kelly made Chicken Curry and these flat Indian bread things (Forgot what they’re called). It was very good, she got the recipe during her travels through India. When making the bread things, after she fried them on the stove, she placed them directly on the burner. As soon as she did, they inflated! She then flipped it to brown the other side, and took it off. Being one who is entertained by simple things, (Don’t judge me, everyone has their weaknesses!) I had to do one of them. Feels sort of like cooking Jiffy Pop =).

There’s been a slight change of plans for going to Colombia. We’ve decided on Friday instead of Thursday, as the weather is much better. Tomorrow we’ll be pretty busy getting the boat ready, all that fun stuff, you know :p.

I can’t wait to get to Colombia, so bloody sick of Aruba. Takes about two days to see everything there is to see. The big jets flying right by the boat are pretty irritating, I must say. Ever wonder where all that exhaust goes? Well, I do know a lot of it tends to land on the damn boat *Eye twitch*.

Adios.... If my brain still functions tomorrow night I’ll put up another post, but those are finicky as well.

P.S. By every other day, I meant in that general time frame.
