It was one of the best holiday's I have ever been on! Karen and Dave's wedding was beautiful, I was a little stressed with being the photographer....but Karen and Dave are so easy going, they were just thrilled I was able to do this for them. They took the pressure off, and I had a lot of fun photographing for them.
The week in Punta Cana was full of laughs, drinks, and relaxation by the pool, my body is still trying to recuperate from last week......although I think I maybe back to normal now...maybe!
Stew posted about the stress we had coming back to Panama......I am very happy to say that we were refunded completely!!!!!!! Talk about relief!!! I am just glad this is all behind us now.
Stew also talked about how we are driving back to Calgary......i know I had said in my point of view that I was totally done with riding back! Well, I guess I am a slow learner, for I was the one that suggested we ride back. Figured it would be great to go full circle.....ride here and back home again.
We know what to expect now, am ready for those 3 hour border crossings, and I don't intend to eat at any road side stands!
Stewart has gotten so much better with his spanish...me, I just rely on him! We will see some areas a little better, since near the end of the trip coming to Panama, we just wanted to get to our destination.
We can take our time going, the kids will be done with school, and once we get back into the States we can move a little faster to get home.
Brandon will fly back to Calgary and stay with friends for the month of June. He doesn't really want to ride back, saying it is more fun to drive than to be a passenger, so when we would talk about the days drive, Brandon felt he couldn't contribute to the conversation......thing is, I thought he could have contributed more, since he didn't have to concentrate on the road, he could look around and see the sights so much better. Oh well, he can fly home with the school books, and anything else that we don't want to take with us.....driving home, we should be a whole lot lighter than when we arrived.
with that, I will sign off for now, but I will add some photos of Punta Cana and some photo's of Karen and Dave's wedding.
