Day 37-38
Back in the US again! Mike books us this incredible hotel, The Blue, through Orbitz which is so nice I want to live here. Two bathrooms - decked out, three plasma TVs (living room, bedroom, bathroom) quartz counter tops, ice in the full sized freezer...I am guessing people usually don't stay here just one night, but that is all we have as we work our way home.
After settling and taking pictures we walked down for happy hour where they have a $5 appitizer menu and staff that make you feel so welcome despite being overwhelmed by a big group here for a business meeting. We enjoyed calimari so good that it not only made our top 5, but maybe number 1 and then walked back to our room to enjoy sitting on the balcony and watching all 3 TVs (when you have the opportunity to watch TV from a whirlpool bubble bath, you have to try it out).
I don't want to leave this hotel, but I am ready to get home...this morning I woke up and said to Mike, tomorrow we will wake up in our own bed and he responded, with our own dogs and so I rolled over and pushed hard on his chest to mimic the way Cassie climbs on your chest and puts her nose in your face in the morning just to make him feel more at home.
The sun is now rising over the golf course and it is time to get back on a plane. Miami, Dallas and then home!
Thank you all for reading and your love and support. See you soon!

Day 36 continued
We arrived safely on Santa Cruz, one day late and did a quick walk around the plaza before walking down to my old house and meeting with the family for dinner. It was sad to say goodbye, but I am hopeful that they will visit us in Tucson. All in all, Bolivia has been a phenominal experience. We have had a wonderful safe trip and hope to return someday to see the rest of the sights that we didn't have time for. For now it is back to the US and back to work.

Day 36
This is a picture of Mike and my hopeful faces as we wait in the airport...we have seats on a plane to La Paz and from La Paz to Santa Cruz today but it is still cloudy and I won't believe we are going to make it until I land in Santa Cruz - the plane we are taking to La Paz has not arrived yet. We do have emergency back up bus tickets which hopefully will have strong enough Karma to make our plane fly (I figure if we hadn't bought the bus tickets in case then the planes definitely wouldn't fly). We will see...the good news is the airport has free WiFi.
