Steven and I are nearly packed - trying to remember all the little things we may need in a foreign country! We have an adapter, a Montevideo map, instructions on how to purchase a temporary telephono, lots of Airborne and other medicines we may wish to have, the phone numbers and email of our soon-to-be-new-friend, Carlos, and lots of dinero!!
We'll leave Des Moines tomorrow at 2:00 p.m., fly to Miami, then it's just a few miles south to Montevideo baby! We land there around 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. The time in Montevideo is just two hours ahead of DSM (Mom - that's four hours ahead of you).
Saturday is Montevideo sightseeing and probably a few hours of napping too! Sunday we hope to meet Carlos at or following the ex-pat meeting. If you've read my first post, you can see that an ex-pat has already left an encouraging and welcoming comment!
Monday and Tuesday, Steven has appointments for us at local wineries and vineyards as well as the properties that we've been imagining could end up being ours! His professor called to wish us good luck today and keep Steven on task for the types of questions he should be asking...
After Tuesday, we don't really have a plan, but I'm guessing things will just come together. Of course it will be important to find the coffee places, internet cafes so you can have updates, take lots of pictures and become as aquainted as possible with this charming country. Steven's goal is to visit as many wineries as possible... I just hate that idea.
We have a few more things to do before morning........
Mantengase en contacto,
Marianna y Esteban
