Well, looks like we got lucky here in Banderas Bay.......in the marina we apparently had a 3' drop in water level and subsequent big currents coming in and out but nothing to cause any real concern or any damage.  They say it will continue to do this over the next couple days.  We're thankful, and still watching the news to see how things play out for everyone else-hopefully the rest of you will fare as well.

Tomorrow we head  for home for a couple of weeks so looking forward to seeing everyone up in sunny BC.  Pollo is having a vacation here at the hotel while we're away-a lovely girl named Carolina who takes care of the parrots for the resort has agreed to babysit her...wonder if she'll learn any new words from the Macaws?  I'm hoping she won't just learn a new scream!

So, habla luego (will somebody please tell me if that's the right way to say 'talk to you later'???) Good luck, Hawaii.....
