Mom's Week on Grand Turk

Well, this week has been miserable.

I picked up Mom at the airport when her flight came in from Miami, no problem. We walked right over to the domestic desk and checked her bag and got our boarding passes.

At 4:00 we came back to the airport, got on the plane, and twenty minutes later we were in Grand Turk. The problem began when there was no luggage unloaded off the plane. Needless to say, to days and five trips to the airport later, Mom's luggage was lost somewhere between the small island of Provo and the smaller island of Grand Turk.

Most places this would be no problem. A quick ride to Walmart and you could replace everything in the bag for $100.00.

Most places...

On Grand Turk this is a major issue. Luckily Deneen has clothes here. Including a pair of brand new pajamas that came for Mom and were mistakenly brought to Grand Turk on some trip where I was home.

There was finally a cruise ship in today and we managed to buy a swimsuit and two pair of capris and resort wear shirts. This should get her through.

I am still waiting on a call from the doctor on Provo to see if we can get her prescription filled and sent over here.

Other than that her trip is going great.
