Still kicking in the jungle

April 9, 2009
I know I haven't updated in awhile - but you guessed it - I just got internet! So, how long has this been - three weeks? Yes, it took that long to get internet and phone. We waited and waited and finally all in one day we were back on line. We even got the cable TV going. I can't say it is reliable - sometimes it's great and sometimes it's not, but it's cable and it's still unbelievable to me that I can sit in the jungle and watch CNN.
We officially took over the lodge on April 1st and on April 2nd we had our first guests arrive. We were so lucky with the guests we had this past week. They were all so nice and encouraging. We had worked like mad to get the rooms in order. And, then I was worried about the food. But, they were complimentary of everything and were happy to work with us in our transitional stage.
So, life goes on and we're getting settled. Best of all, we proved to ourselves that we can do this.
