Well things are just skipping along here and things seem to be falling into place…..how weird is that! (Any of my friends could tell you I am NOT a lucky person)
As of yesterday I’ve sold nearly everything in the house here in Gualaceo, Ecuador. And the really nice thing is, people have agreed to wait until April 15, the day before I leave, to pick it up. So right up until the day I leave I’ll still get to use my stove, fridge, beds, etc. What a relief to have all this stuff taken care of!!
I will be moving back to the States with just 2 large suitcases and a carry-on. And of course Princess Roxie, in her little Sherpa travel bag! I’ve run into a little snag in the plans; I bought a ticket from Cuenca to Quito on LAN airlines, since they do allow dogs in the cabin. I wouldn’t fly Princess Roxie any other way! Well I’ve flown with her a number of times and her travel bag fits nicely under the seat in front of me, so I neglected to look at LAN’s requirements. Turns out she’s too big; only teeny-tiny dogs can fly on LAN. So now I have to find someone to drive us to the Quito airport, which is about a 7-8 hour trip and will cost around $250. I could take a bus but that takes about 9 hours with no possibility of stopping to let the dog pee, and that just sounds too mean. So I’ll get someone to drive us there and then we can stop whenever we like to eat or go potty. I am looking forward to seeing the scenery between here and there, it should be gorgeous.
