I’m typing this post on the plane from LA to Seattle. Sabrina and I have successfully navigated the US Immigration and Customs system and are about 1.5 hours from touching down in Seattle. We won’t be home on the island until tomorrow, but we’ll be home enough, staying at my parents’ house because of the late arrival.
Today, Friday, was a packing up day. Sabrina also wanted to make one more trip to the Mercado to get the doll we couldn’t get (evidently the other one wasn’t quite right). 
She has some money left so we made a trip into town with the Cronins. 
Before that we packed up most of our stuff, which wasn’t too hard.
The market was all markety still with a bit more life to it. We also took the opportunity to visit some of the local artisan shops that weren’t open before. Here were more hand crafted items and not the same old, same old across the street. Dan and Amy are doing more decorating in their home with the Mexician style found along the coast so they ended up getting a few items while Sabrina and I looked.
Wow, this is really starting to sound like a boring day, but that’s because it has been, in a good way.
After arriving back at the condo, we finished the very last minute cleaning and then I let Sabrina have one last dip in the pool. She was quite happy and says she’ll miss the pools. I took time to do a quick video interview with Sabrina that should be posted on this post some place. Maybe even here.
Cab ride to the airport then dinner. Booked through security as it’s a bit less stringent than the USA 
(no taking off your shoes, pulling out the laptop, liquids in bags….none of that). We got to walk out to the plane again and zooooommmm!!! Into the sky. LA was also uneventful except for the quirk where we had to get off our plane, take a bus to Immigration and Customs, then loop back through security to get on the exact same plane we were just on.
I’ll be writing up a “wrap up” post soon with more info on some of the places we visited and more specifics. But for now, goodnight.
Well, isn’t she just beautiful! It makes me sad to think how long it’s been since we’ve seen you all.
