Bish... 1st I see that you have posted, meaning.. thou hast returned from the Texas Baja. Then I realize you are going to tell a Mexico vacation disaster story. Of course, I'm thinking Montazuma's Revenge or the like. As I read on... I can't beleive my eyes.

Good grief. A Lear Jet to Miami? Finger severed? My god. I do hope the facility at fault plans to help you all with the untold expense and suffering (yeah, right Fred). I am so sorry... what a complete bummer and horror-trashed vaca story. Whats' sad... it must happen alot, since Cancun receives 1,000's of US tourists a day. How can they run that place without good trama care????

My heart goes out to you and Linda.

Regarding the rumor of me and Rich running Snoqualmi.. its true. And on the way back, we were being chased by a Porsche Boxter. Next we come upon a Porsche up-side-down in the weeds (lotsa skid marks) along west Snoqualmi Valley Road (Nestle Research Center). The sheriff had just arrived.. and the standers-by waved us thru with smiles and waves (so we think nobody was hurt). The Boxter following us slowed down a bit following that ordeal.

Anyway.. we had the WORLD'S BEST BACON CHEESEBURGER in the town of Snoqualmi. Anyone interested in same, Rich and I are headed back thataway soon. On top of all that.. a banner 60 mile loop on this year's best day so far.

Ahhhh.
