Arrival at Betty's Place

We have arrived at Betty's Place!! Sorry for the late update, but we were really exhausted last night. And this morning was all Betty...need I say more? I have delivered to her the collective WNY hug. Here is a picture from Betty's web site:


Nick was positively wonderful on the trip up. The flight from Atlanta to Bogota was 4 1/2hrs with a couple pockets of small turbulence (the pilots made more of it that needed). He was very patient. A cute 10yr old Colombian girl behind us, fluent in English, entertained him for a while.

The most stressful part of the trip was making the connection in Atlanta. We had no time to spare just getting on the plane. Due to the late reservations and not getting to the gate early enough, not one of our three seats were together. The stewardess was unwilling, at first, to assist us in getting the seats together. Diane changed her attitude in really short order. We all sat together.

Probably the most wonderful thing was Nick coming into Betty’s and feeling right at home. He found all the train toys in about 10min. and checked out all the rooms within 15min. He slept right through the night. So, Nick is making in easy on us.

We are here with the Walton from the Toronto area for their first. We are doing are best to help them with the “lay-of-the-land”. The most important task is getting everybody’s computer up in running. Things are going pretty well. The penetrating coolness takes a bit getting used to, but the fire places are now warming everything up nicely.

Time for lunch. We should be good and rested for the big events tomorrow.

Colombia According to Nick
Nick’s first misstep in his new surroundings was a visit to the hall restroom here at Betty’s. Anyone can miss that step down. Nick does not feel that the toilet cover is agreeable to his tastes, but he thinks the term “fat lip” is funny.
