La Paz
La Paz is extremely fun and very comfortable.
We're having trouble leaving!
We've been in La Paz for a week now again. We are
having a hard time leaving. The weather has improved a bit, and it is just plain
nice here.
Last Sunday, I took the Sula
crew down to the San Jose/Cabo San Lucas airport. They had rented a car from
Thrifty, and it was much less expensive for me to take them than for them to
drive it one way. Also, I got to go by the Costco in Cabo San Lucas and get a
cheap foam surfboard. The drive took me all day, however, as it was 2.5 hours
each way, plus extra time for bathroom and drink
breaks.
We thought we would leave La
Paz on the day Sula left, Sunday. However, since the rental car could only be
taken back on Monday, we decided to wait until then. But then we had some more
grocery shopping to do on Monday, and the guys working on the varnish weren't
quite done yet. Thus we decided to wait until Tuesday to
leave.
However, Tuesday came and went
and we weren't ready to go yet either. I had a bunch of computer stuff to do
still and we couldn't leave.
Now it is
Wednesday, and we're hoping to be ready to leave tomorrow. We've gotten most of
what we need to get done today, except that the web site isn't updated yet.
Tonight, the network is not working. Hopefully in the morning it will work and
we can leave after updating.
Today I
spent 2 hours on the phone (mostly on hold) trying to get Fidelity to move my
401k money over into a rollover IRA. Jeez, it is a pain in the butt. Try
spending an hour on hold on a pay phone for honing your patience. While I was
waiting, a gecko fell out of a tree right onto my computer
keyboard!
