Day 8- 3/1/14

There was a beautiful sunrise and a beautiful sunset, but that in between wasn't so great today.

Because I didn't pack well with e-cigs, we ran to the Plaza Las Americas (huge mall) where the folks at the front desk had contacted several people who said they were sold in a store in this mall. We took a cab (read $), and walked the mall for over 2 hours only to find nothing....asking questions hundreds of times with most who don't speak English. Argh....

Came back to the resort and talked with our concierge, who consulted with another who stated she had personally bought them at "xyz" store. So back we go again and do find the store, but guess what.....they are out and will be for the rest of this week.....
Argh......not knowing what to do (should quit, but don't think I want to ruin my vacation). Turned the problem over to Joanna, our concierge...who probably won't do anything as she's frustrated we won't go listen to a sales talk.

So we came back grumbling at having just wasted nearly $70 in cab rides for naught!!...
So just hit the beach with books. While out there we met a gentleman from Montivideo, MN....a Thrivent person (didn't say, but I'm assuming sales). Also while down there, we saw Diane & John from Iowa are back...though we didn't get a chance to visit.

Went to Papalya for supper and had the prime rib special......so excellent, but so expensive. Ah well, have enough leftover for another whole meal.

Hoping tomorrow is a more successful day.
