Departure Day Minus 1

Well I made it to Sacramento this morning to link up with Earline and Stephen and to drop off off Spencer, our resident Santa Cruz dog. In addition, Stephen and I are starting off the trip with clean teeth, courtesy of our dentist in Sacramento. We are now prepared to eat a poor diet and lots of mojitos. With a little luck, none of that "tourista" (traveler's diarrhea) will strike us.  Poor Stephen went to the Dominican Republic a few years ago to a Club Med and spent the entire week being ill. Of course, the worst illness might be Dengue Fever, carried by mosquitos but we are armed with lots of bug spray. I am hoping that mojitos will repel the little bastards.

Yesterday, Earline tweaked her back while walking our three dogs and I had to put her on high-dose Motrin and Robaxin to fix her up. I feel like one of those sports docs that just gets the athlete through the game. She is working today so I must have done some good. Tonight we are going to see the new movie, "Pineapple Express" which I have no clue as to what it is. We leave for the airport in San Francisco by about 3 p.m. tomorrow for an 8:50 p.m. flight out.

The excitement is building!
