The "Arrivals are more fun than departures" Story
It was an ordinary day. 6:30 AM and I'm sitting by the pool at Villa Jeluca on the French side. Another great choice for our yearly vacation to St. Martin in the Caribbean. Arrived two days ago in mid-afternoon and made our way through customs. Barely! Seems like I talked Carol into getting into the shortest line so we would get our luggage faster. Worked well until we got to the front of the line and the sign over the customs girl Transfers Only! Our turn. She looked at the form we filled out on the plane and told us we were in the wrong line. Then, my wife went to work. She said that the sign is so hard to see from the back and we just got in the wrong line. Can't she just stamp our passports? I kept my mouth shut, since I picked the line. Smash, down the stamp and we were on our way. Way to go dear! Bugs are bad at 6:30 AM by the pool. Seems I'm sharing the keyboard with quite a few mosquitos and many more are trying to read this on the screen as I type. Have no idea where the bug spray is and since my wife is sleeping in this morning I will just have to swat 'em. We made our way to the realtor and followed Stephane up the hill to our villa. Fantastic view!! Can see Orient Bay and the island of Pinel with the colorful umbrellas is right off shore. In the distance is the island of Anguilla which we plan to visit for a day this year. Stephane helped get us set up. TV, BBQ grill, AC, wireless connection, and all the other essentials for a great vacation. Even left a basket of food
for us. Yesterday we had to call Stephane. Help! AC isn't very cold, TV won't come on again and the wireless connection isn't working and I already missed one day of stories on my blog. He was there in 10 minutes. Pushed the wrong button on the remote. You must turn it on by pushing the button on the TV and not the remote. Seems someone took the remote home with them that is used to turn on the TV. OK. AC was actually working, but we figured out that some of the small windows were open and the cold air was escaping. And the internet ........... he had to go get a new router to correct that problem. Now we're set. Ready for some more stories. And, the sun is starting to cook me. Have to hop in the pool and then find the sunscreen. I'm letting the Toshiba for the bugs. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
