Strangely, although we're soon to take off for five months, we are remarkably relaxed. We had little that needed to be done today. We did buy a Christmas gift card from the Army & Navy Department Store for our building manager. We also got a booklet of transit tickets, so we will be able to get to the airport late Wednesday night without using an expensive taxi.
A great deal of our relaxed attitude is due to the help of a property manager and agent in Puerto Vallarta. Although we know the area after a few visits, we surely had never tried to arrange for a half year rental. It could have been stressful trying to arrange for something so unfamiliar to our experience. Yet, Debbie has made the whole process easy. She has taken the time to answer a lot of occasionally-silly questions and helped us to find something that suits our wants and budget. I probably have never bothered one individual with so many emails in my whole life.
I hope to buy her a margarita sometime during our stay there this winter!
