There's no place like HOME!!! A little long but great!!
My mother Sinikka, and I made it back yesterday evening, and it's great to be back. especially, when you hear what happened at the last minute.... this is classic BARD!!
I was packing my big old ugly autumn yellow Samsonite suitcase ( so bad, I always have to used a strap because one slid latch is busted ) when, I used my new teeth to tear some packing tape to keep the darn thing closed. Because of my bad bite, I popped off one of my new front veneers!!
I am now about to cry, we are getting close to have Dr Sauceda's driver come pick us up to take us to the airport, and Dr. S is coming by first to take one last stitch on my eyelid.
I look at my watch and say ( with all the optimism someone like us has ever had ) It can happen!!!
I have to go to the front desk, since my attempt to contact Dr. Ramirez ( the dentist and Dr S' friend ) fails because of my lack of Spanish. The gal at the Hampton Inn switches into Wonder Woman and get through to the Dr and he isnow on his on his way to pick me up to fix my tooth ( having to cancel a class ), at the same time Dr Sauceda, comes and as his driver loads up our suit cases, yanks out my lil' stitch and has the driver follow us to the university where the good Dr Ramirez teaches Dentistry. A collage who specializes in difficult areas fixes my tooth, the whole time my heart pumping and my eyes watching the clock. they get through, and we, through normal crazy Monterrey, Mexico traffic a city of now over 2.7 million, barely makes it to the airport. where American Airlines treats us like diplomats, since both of us need wheel chairs. Whew!!! The whole thing I've to say was just icing on the cake of a fantastic trip...none of that boring sit around and wait for us, LOL
After that, the flight was very fast, my friend picked us up at the airport and whisked us home bringing my English Bulldog Snickers to greet us, Got home, got unpacked, ate the best chicken pot pie in the world and finally sat in my recliner and just was happy that because of the wonderful people of Mexico, American Airlines and my friends everything worked out like a dream..... and I'll say it again in homage to Dorthy... There's No Place Like HOME!! (Thanks, Everyone!!) Bard
