Baxters in Cozumel: Arrived in Cozumel!

Last Monday we flew from Mobile, AL (taking the 6:30AM bird) to Dallas, TX and then the 11AM flight directly to CZM. The American Airlines flights were great. No problems with bags and our reservations. And all on time! Thanks to wonderful tenants who Lynn met last summer, Casa Bella,the yard and the garden were in super condition. We finally got to meet Dan and Mary Kay the other night when they invited us to dinner at their new apartment. Peggy was amazed by how clean windows were. Of course, she's always impressed by clean windows. But, down here with the dust and salt air, clean windows are pretty amazing.

Back to day 1, after a quick tour of the house with our ooohs and aaahs, we began unpacking the bags we brought as well as all our stuff that we had packed away in SpaceBags. The process took several days and was interrupted by visiting friends, a new resident cat which we'll post about next, and all of our favorite neighborhood dogs. We were glad to see them all. The weather was wonderful- warm, sunny with some humidity. The only thing we've lost is our Mexican cellphone. Can't find it anywhere. Ed thinks we took it to CO and Peggy thinks we gave it to someone down here. Of course, we never wrote it down so who knows? A new cell phone is cheap, so we'll get another one. Peggy got the internet and local phone working with CableMas. It took a day longer than promised, but hey, we have it! With a higher speed internet, Skype is working much better and NBS Nightly News is perfect! A few trips to the grocery store (Chedraui and Mega) for essentials like coffee, beer, yogurt, fruit, and toilet paper and we're all set up!
The visits on the way down with kids and grandkids, as well as the Johnstons, were great fun. Next adventure picking up the Tracker that is being shipped to Progresso. We'll tour the Yucatan Penisula for a few days, but that'll be another post or two.

Wow, has the garden grown!
