7/13: Happy Friday the 13th! (Tamara posting)
* Tamara posting*
We have three companies getting us quotes for the motorcycle shipping. Best news though was that we were able to redeem our airline miles to get business-class tickets from Quito to Houston (direct flight) on Aug. 1st, then we continue on from Houston to Portland on the 6th. We will spend the time in Houston visiting my sister and her family. Hi Candace!
It's a pretty good deal since we didn't have any luck finding flights from Quito to Portland when we tried earlier in the week. We will end up paying extra to have the bike sent to PDX instead of picking it up in LA and riding it back, but won't have as many worries about the bike's condition upon arrival (battery, starting, bearings, etc). And best of all we don't have to spend a bunch of money on airline tickets back.
In other news, I had to take the week off from volunteering at the clinic because I got Ted's eye infection. Since it is really contagious and requires antibiotics, I thought it would be best for me to not pass it on to the kids (especially as they can't afford extra medicines). I will start again on Monday and now I can make up this week later in the month since we don't leave right away.
