Ai ai ai ui ui ui, it's today... it's ALL happening today! Oh my Lord, give us a smooth day and tranquility! The language barrier... oh no, so much Spanish packed in a single day only!!
After uncountable problems, I mean, endless problems or put in other words, loads of trouble, the delivery of the first container should start today at around 11 AM!
The obstacles we had to face were SO MANY, SO MANY, that it became normal, laughs...
You know those really cheap terror movies, when the girl is running away from the mean guy, in a cemetery at mid night and she manages to find a knife, kills him and as she turns back to walk away from the crime scene, the supposed dead mean guy jumps and grabs her leg and you, watching the movie, scream out your lungs because you were not prepared for that? Oh well, we had the same thing... last week, we saw Dolores arriving, we saw one of the containers, we scheduled the delivery, and then... we were informed that the fabulous moving company we hired back in Hong Kong, had not yet paid the shipping service in full, therefore the containers were being held until payment being settled!!! Just so freaking unbelievable!!!
Also, way back then, when we though life had brought us all the confusion it could possibly bring, Alice and David, together with us, set a date for their arrival here in Panama. The date was planned in such a way that Joel and I would have had 3 weeks to organize the new place after our stuff had arrived so that the flat would be ready by the time they flew in.
Well, it so happens that they are arriving tonight, on day 1 of the move, poor them!! Instead of walking into a place already with a "home" feel, they are going to walk into a war zone! Thank you dear Alice & David for not changing your travel dates! We are thrilled, but not so sure if you are thrilled with this holiday concept of playing hide and seek behind boxes, LOL!

ReplyDeletein a few days you will have your "home" and the havoc, frustration and language challenges will be worth it! but until then, many many smooches and we are praying for you!!
xo xo xo
ps - we missed you last night at the ICM banquet
oh my my!!! The saga you have been through! Makes you wonder if you should have packed your suitcases with the memories and bought a whole new household in Panama. I hope that all of your precious things are in one piece as the boxes get unpacked. I am having visions of the saga continuing on and on. I pray that this is the joyous end for you.
