13/4/84

A quiet Friday the 13th. Haven't accomplished much, but quite frankly, I didn't feel I needed to. Yeah, there's still plenty to do but my Thursdays drain me so I ‘cruise’ on Friday. I'll get back to it all on Monday. It will all still be there, waiting for me.

Back to the insanity of planning far into the future. I was checking out prices on flights today. Mostly our return to the United States via …. Venezuela. Dick and Ann made such an impression on us that we have decided to try to include it after our C.O.S on our way to the states which adds about 3000 EC dollars to our savings need. But it looks like we'll make it. Nice thing is that we pick up Eastern's Unlimited Mileage in Trinidad so it keeps our total travel bill low.

I also checked out Eastern's fares because Deb's folks were thinking about coming down. Quoted $790 US which seems quite high. We were quoted $649 on the unlimited deal. But I guess you have to add on the Boise to Salt Lake and BGI-SUD legs to get the total picture. Still, it seems a lot of money. It will be interesting to see what comes of it. Thoughts, of course, return to home once again. I wonder what will become of us? What will we be doing? Where will we be living? The questions start to coming in a torrent, forcing me to face a more ambiguous future than just the scheduling of flights home. Oh well, reality always beckons in this paradisal isle.
