Arrived safely around 1:30pm from a some what bumpy flight but otherwise smooth. As I was clearing customs my bag was pulled aside and I was asked to open it. They wanted to know why I had SO many precription drugs and other bottles of pills lmao!!! Well I take at least five types of daily pills for various health reasons plus vitamins and a couple others. Of course I brought six months worth so yes lol it was a lot! Luckily I brought a copy of all my drugs from the VA which seemed to satisfy them they were intended for personal use. Clearing customs I was met by guide and friend Yves. We stopped by the local super market for a few groceries and needed items(beer). Of course not everything I wanted but enough to get by for now. Then on to the Condo. The owner had left the key at the Guard Shack so it was easy going getting in. The unit is as described with a few minuses but way more pluses. No screens in ANY of the windows! This is bad lol! If you recall the rather LARGE spider(trantuala) that wanted in my last condo last

may? Well this wont do so having Yves bring over a screen guy to measure the window. I have a really BIG breeze coming in off the ocean so I will get atleast a screen for the kitchen window and one for the bedroom. Maybe one for the patio door as well. Gotta have that air ciculating so I can keep the AC from running until it gets hot! Speaking of it was 86 degrees and sunny when I arrived lol! If you plan on visiting me prepare to sweat to death...its HOT! But hey thats why there is a pool and the ocean to cool off! Pretty much set things up the way I want for now but will be needing a few things and then adjust accordingly. Well Im off to do more organizing and such. Hope you will all enjoy my posts and pictures.

P.S. Please forgive my grammer and spelling for there is no spell check on this Blog lol! Blame Mrs. Baker.
