T-minus a Day and a Half!

As the flurry of packing and prepping and checking travel vaccines continues, we steel ourselves for humid, tropical weather, with a chance of warm rain. Well, that leaves some more room in the ol' travel duffel! Research on San Andres shows that most tourism happens toward the north end of the island and includes scuba diving or boat tours. We'll have a couple of "free days" to play tourists/adventurers, but  except for the first night, we'll be staying at the south end. The island itself isn't much bigger than Ocean Shores, so I don't expect too many problems getting around. The culture is heavily Spanish, Creole, and English (all three languages are supposedly used on the island), and the food is mainly seafood... good thing this veggie likes lots of beans, rice, and plantains!
We're excited to reunite with Dr. Sandy Willis on this trip. She's our friend the internal medicine vet from Phoenix Labs, where we send all our lab samples. Don't let that her day job fool you though: she's a pretty fantastic surgical assistant! We're also taking local financial adviser, Dee Harrington, for her first international veterinary experience. You really don't have to be a vet to help on these trips: in the past, we've shared trips with a psychologist, a cop, a hairdresser, a retired office worker... you get the idea.
Next post will hopefully see me ready to go: we leave Ocean Shores on Saturday morning!
