Guillermo and I got up early this morning which is always so much easier to do knowing that the day is bringing wonderful things! We walked into town to the car rental place and picked up the car that we had reserved for a week, and then drove towards David. Fernando and Eva weren't due to arrive until about 1pm, and since it was only 11am, we decided to stop at the store and then pick up a sandwich from Subway before going to the airport. We got to the airport about an hour before their plane was due to come in, but that was ok because we wanted to check about flights to Costa Rica, and also talk to some car rental places. Once we were done with all of that, we had about 45 minutes to wait for their plane.
It is so nice to be waiting for them to arrive, knowing that all our days with them are still ahead of us! We heard the plane come in, and we knew that it takes FOREVER to be processed into Panama, but still, it seemed an eternity until we could see them on the other side of the door, going through the last minute check of their luggage. Our best Christmas present of the season was when they finally stepped through that door and we were finally able to hug both of them!
They were hungry, and tired, so we stopped in at that Subway again (since we knew EXACTLY where it was) and they had some sandwiches before we drove back to Boquete.
What can I say? It's just so nice having them here! For supper, we fixed Guillermo's famous chicken/rice dish and had that with bread, green beans, salad, wine, and a slice of Cranberry/Apple pie for dessert. It was a great meal. After that nice meal, we exchanged Christmas presents and that officially marked the end of Christmas Day 2010 for us. It is still the Christmas holidays, though, and we look forward to the next few days with them!
