Hooray! Today we are welcoming our first houseguests at the Holy Grail Apartment (and Guest Hotel). The couple joining us this weekend are friends we made in San Diego. Jack worked with Hubbz and cruised on the Tarawa with him back in 2007. While the boys were out defending the free world and patrolling for pirates, Jane and I (and the other wives in our little helicopter deployment group) all bonded over a few girls’ nights out. Jack and Jane were dating then, but now they are married and living in Naples. They will arrive tonight and we will get to explore some of the area’s offerings together – including a visit to Volksfest on Friday night.
Unfortunately, our internet service provider called this morning and wanted to schedule our internet installation tomorrow. What a quandary!! To be a good host and show our friends around would mean passing on what may be the first of many appointments required to install our internet. Jane assured me that she and Jack were more than happy to explore on their own – so I went ahead and made the appointment for Thursday at 1230. It seems that our building is old – and the cable wires that run through it were probably installed 20 years ago. We ordered the most bandwidth possible, since we’ll be running our telephone, television and internet through it. This means that the installation could take as long as four hours!!!
At any rate, we are thrilled to welcome Jack and Jane tonight – and so appreciate them for baring with us as we work out the kinks of moving in and navigating sites that we aren’t familiar with yet!!
