Honolulu to Managua

Woohoo!  Google Nicaragua.  I just looked up how to make a tilde over the letter n because not moments ago, we were enjoying our first poolside Toñas at Las Mercedes Best Western Managua.  We are in price shock and can't wait to get out of the city after dishing over $149 for the room and $7.50 for a club sandwich.  The dogs are safe and have proven that, despite the journey from Hawaii, they are still their same old dumb-ass selves, and have already chased their first Nicaraguan cat on the premises of the hotel.  It's good to know that some things don't change.  Tomorrow morning we get picked up by Paxeos and will stop in Rivas for phones and groceries and from there, it's on to Gigante where we will settle in our rental home.  This is one happy family reporting from Central America.  Love to everyone and more to come.
