I´ll have to add pictures later, but here are a few of the happenings during our first three days here:
The plane ride was not so bad (of course, I sat in buisiness class while Scott and the boys sat in economy).
Our hotel is awesome, we have a view of the beach, which is only a few yards from our window. When we walked from the hotel to the shops and food places next door, we were feet away from fifty or so monkeys (yes, the kids and I are wanting to take some home). They also have the hugest lizard\iguana creatures I´ve ever seen. There are great pools here for the kids and a few playgrounds, so we´ve been keeping busy.
On our first night, a friend of Scott´s from work took us to a "zoo" with two of his three kids, and then we met his wife and youngest son for dinner. The ride was a bit nerve racking, seeing how we had four kids and myself in the backseat of a small car. I was the only one with a seat belt and the oldest child (only five) never stayed still the whole time. The zoo was interesting, seeing how we were the only ones impressed with the free roaming monkeys everywhere, yet a peacock was locked up...You are able to literally reach through the bars and pet all the animals, even the bear (not that everyone was or that it was encouraged). Very different than in The States or Europe. Dinner was great - five boys, five and under. Family style servings and an outdoor setting (we would call it a carport).
The last two days have been fun as well. Scott has been working, but the boys and I have been keeping busy at the pool, beach, playground, etc... We all have a little bit of pink\tan color now! We have the same plans for the next three days. Rough, huh? I´ll write more soon!
