We awoke this morning to no power. Which also meant no water - the city water requires pumps and the pumps are electric. No backup, apparently. It went off around 5AMish (I just happened to be awake) and thankfully, came back on around 8. We're checked in to our flights and J. trekked to the internet cafe to print boarding pases so we're all set.
We're packing up - and then we get to kill three hours somewhere - have to be out of the condo by 11AM and our van to the airport doesn't pick us up until 2PM....bummer. And it's HOT here today - though I see a little cloud cover coming from the east which may help. We're dressed for scorching heat and the plane ride home will be an icebox.
It's been a lovely trip....
Hard to leave this magical place but we will return. We're thinking we could open a dive shop (H. is a fish - he dove down 40 feet while snorkeling - the kid's a natural!) and J. could open a laundry service. I can do just about anything and if we sell everything we own and rent a couple rooms in a hostel, we could manage for quite awhile....though I'm not sure a hostel is my 'style'.
We took all our leftovers - beer, sodas, ham, cheese, bread, etc. - to our Swedish neighbors who were grateful for the extras.
We'll have a nice meal somewhere and then try to find a place to sit with AC - Starbucks comes to mind - though it's a bit of a trek but we have plenty of time.
A neighboring condo - a mom and daughter from Scottsdale - are letting us store our luggage in their place so we don't have to go through town rolling huge bags everywhere. Very nice of them....
OK - time to sign off and put the laptop in the rolling backpack. Signing back on sometime tomorrow in Los Estados Unidos....

Our cleaning lady D. is here today - she wears earbuds and chats on the phone while she works. She is the third cleaning 'person(s)'...
