Journal Entry – Thursday March 3, 2005 – Dinner with the A Squared Folks

Author: Pam

You know your parents are one hundred percent behind what you are doing when they travel from Tennessee to Mexico to visit you on your boat. We had the pleasure of meeting and having dinner with Amy’s parents this evening. They came to Mexico and were planning to sail back to Puerto Vallarta with Abe and Amy, but as plans go this is a bit up in the air. Unfortunately Amy’s Mom’s back acted up just before they were planning to come and they are not sure if bashing up north would be a good idea. Apparently, no one within three degrees of separation can come near our proximity from the US without being asked to bring something. We did not have time to design and print boat cards before leaving, but once again thanks to the wonders of the internet we were able to order cards on-line. Thanks to Amy’s parent’s delivery service we are thrilled to finally be able to give out our contact info on something a bit snazzier than an index card or paper napkin. Scott did a great job designing the cards, they look fantastic. We feasted at Diablo (devil) and Gabriel’s (angel) on steak (again) prepared tableside (very popular in this area) with a delicious blue cheese brandy sauce. I thought before leaving one of the foods I would miss is meat, but in Mexico that has not been the case. I am sure after 30 days at sea, that and many more things will be on the list. Actually, we are both missing salad and veggies (that one may have just shocked my mother). It is difficult to find a good salad here and the “fixins” sometimes have little to be desired. We are still waiting for a response from Dr. Ortiz and feeling more and more up in the air everyday. It is difficult to move forward with your plans when you don’t know exactly what is going to happen next.
