April 12 2024 Friday Santa Rosalía, Neil flying back to the boat

(posted 04/17/24)

At Bob and Sharlene’s, we got up and around as normal, then out the door by 10 AM. Bought car insurance before crossing the border and dropping me at the airport. Then I got checked in and had lunch. When I checked in they did not know what gate I would be at, but eventually it showed up on the board and then I had to wait as there was a 30 minute delay. Finally in my seat and we took off. BTW, Bob and Sharlene were back home an hour before I got on the plane! When we landed in Loreto, we walked to the baggage claim area, everything had to go through the X-ray machine, even carry on stuff. Then a cab ride to the bus station and a couple of hour wait for the bus.
Back on the boat and sleeping in my own bed again!

Reneé walked to Ley to buy mineral water. Unfortunately they didn’t have the brand of choice (Penefiel). She ended up buying Topo Chico at a little shop.
She made carnitas so she could make Saturday’s dinner and freeze some for later. Another stout and another walk around the harbor.

Getting ready to fly in Tijuana and this is the sign that greeted me at the gate. A huge difference between US and Mexican Air travel, they now how to unload and load a plane! The flight was delayed by 30 minutes, it arrived at about 1430 and unloaded the passengers and crew, got cleaned and loaded the crew and passengers for my flight and we pushed back on schedule for the delayed time!
