We arrived safely in Buenos Aires this morning after flying from Little Rock via Atlanta. The trip went smoothly and Flavia did well on the long flight (10 hours from ATL) – we had a nail biter on Friday trying to get her travel papers from the vet in Hot Springs, but they finally arrived via email around 5:30 PM – I spent the day worrying if they would arrive in time which was not fun, but all’s well that end’s well. Chuck took me to lunch at a new-to-me Mexican place which got my mind off of it for a while, at least, and it was great to see him once more before I left.
We went to see fireworks with our friend Rick last Sunday night and got ensnarled in the thick of a traffic jam, but we had a bird’s eye view of the fun. He left Monday morning after breakfast; we spent that afternoon with David and Alison and Peewee, along with Alison’s sisters and brothers-in-law who we had not previously met. It was lots of fun and we had yummy hot dogs — and boy was it hot, too!
The rest of the week went by in a flash – the movers came to pack out an air shipment, I went to Little Rock for a haircut and had several other appointments for “self-care.”
We had a farewell dinner with David and Alison Friday night and enjoyed good margaritas and taco salads – and before we knew it, we were on a plane to our new home!
