Tracie's turn

Okay Emily, it is time I told you the truth. It was more than a four hour flight and there is no Santa Claus. Sure does not feel like Christmas here, which is fine by me. We woke up early because I still had not if finished packing. We have spent two days getting ready for the arrival of the family. Shopping, renting the car, buying lots of beer and making sure it was cold and ready on ice. We even spent an extra hour at the local cell phone company getting a chip to make sure Sweetpeas iPad would have 3G. We had four boxes of food and beer, beach umbrellas, a boggie board and our luggage. It is a good thing that we had to upgrade to the 8 passenger van.
We got to the airport and greeted them with the Uruguayan kiss. They better get used to those.
So off to the cabana. I am still a little worried about this part of the trip. This is their chance to get sun. There really won't be anything more to the next 6 days. After that, ladies and gentlemen start your engines. We will be eating and greeting at 100 miles an hour.
