We got here about two to three hours later than expected. The two hour delay and a lost piece of luggage put us behind. But I suppose there was a silver lining. Because of the lost luggage we ended up being last from our flight and there was another flight about ready to come in. I think customs kind of freaked out with such a large family and all our luggage, they just hurried us through. Then we found the taxi booth and for $35 they would take us. Done deal! They loaded our luggage and us into a very large van and before we knew it we were off.
One of our thoughts was renting a car, but I am so glad we didn't. There is no way I couldn't have navigated the skinny streets with a van. It would have been a nightmare for our safety and our marriage if either one of us drove. :)
Once we got here, we moved all our luggage upstairs and the kids picked their bedrooms. I was a little disappointed with the apt, but oh well. We all felt disgusting from the snacks, sandwiches, the flight, and sitting so much. We all crashed then a couple of hours later both girls woke up super sick. We didn't have enough drains, if you know what I mean. Poor girls. They were so sick. Luckily I had my homeopathy!!!! It took up a third of our luggage room, but I was so grateful to have it. It definitely helped and gave the girls some relief to sleep between episodes of puking. C. felt a little better in the morning but poor X. was still not feeling it. (It took me awhile to find the right remedy for X but once I did she started feeling better and that night she was able to take a couple of bites of our first dinner here.) While S. and H. explored. C, X, Z and I stayed home. I worked for us. Sam is so much more ready to go while I like to slowly immerse myself. With having the kids sick, he didn't give me a hard time wanting to take it easy the first day and I appreciated it.
S and H really did explore. They were gone for several hours walking around.
The best part of the first day was our dinner. Again S and H went out and bought chili rellenos and carnitas. It was soooooo good. Even C who struggled to eat an egg and tortilla all day gobbled down her dinner. X was even able to take a few bites.
By the end of the night poor H's was so ready for bed. His legs were so tired!
