Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up once about 4:30am, rested but really didn’t sleep after that, finally getting up at 7am when I heard Teresa close the bedroom door.

For some reason I had choses seats 16B & 16D so Teresa would be on the aisle and I would be across the aisle in a middle seat. During the pre-check-in process I managed to change my seat to 16C at no extra cost.

We left the apt just after 8:30 and arrived at Olivenza by 9am. Glenn told Teresa his symptoms and she suggested a medication for him and a Gastroenterologist named Dr. Manuel Ballesteros on Calle 7 #39-107, 5^th floor. She said if he gets an order for surgery from the doctor then eps must facilitate it. He also said he can’t find his blood pressure medication called Enalapril and he called his doctor but there’s no answer. Across the hall is a pharmacy so I sent Teresa to ask about it and if they don’t have it ask why. She returned and said they have a limited quantity so he headed over right away and bought a box for 8,000 pesos.

We left at 11:15 and bought a bag of milk on our way back to the apt.

I watched the Chicago Bears get mauled by the Detroit Lions 34-17 while finishing my 2^nd to last bag of peanuts.

I finally got into the DR e-ticket form but near the end they ask for the Province, Municipality, Section, Street and Number where we will be staying. ☹ I have no idea so I dashed off a quick email to the hotel.

I finally got into Check Migration for Colombia and I already mentioned I’m traveling to DR then they ask me for the purpose of my visit to Colombia. ☹ I put tourism and that was accepted.

The hotel answered my email but only the Province was accepted on their form. There was no drop-down box for the Municipality and it wouldn’t accept my entry of Bavaro. ☹

They apologized but suggested I search Youtube. ☹

After viewing part of a Youtube video, I found I checked the wrong box but once I got it set to hotel it doesn’t include our hotel, Occidental Caribe.

They answered with any hotel that’s close by. I then encountered this question: “DO YOU WANT TO ASSIGN THE SAME HOTEL AS THE PRINCIPAL?” so I asked them what that means.

(They responded the next day that it wasn’t important.)

I finished up the e-ticket for the Dominican Republic and the Check Mig for Colombia.

I started watching Band of Brothers on Netflix.

We heard some loud cheering and I checked and Atletico Nacional beat Deportes Tolima 2-0.

I went to bed at 10pm.

 

JUST FUNNY
