We Have Arrived in Rincon!

We got into Aguadilla at about 1:30am last night (local time).  The flight was uneventful to Newark and from Newark into Aguadilla.  We got our rental car and headed for the property.  It was pretty dark and traffic was light (obviously).  We got here and vines had covered up the front gate.  I got out of the car and started tearing them off by hand.  I got enough of them off, so that the gate would slide open and drove on in.


Rental Car This Morning

The weeds appear to have grown quite a bit in 8 months.  It’s about what I expected to see though and isn’t too bad.  We were able to drive the car right in over top of the ‘weeds’ and park.  I went into the small cabana not exactly knowing what to expect.  It looked about the same except the paint on the ceiling had continued to flake off, so there was quite a bit of paint chips on the bed and floor.   A quick sweeping took care of that.  We dusted off the bed and got out our covers/blankets we stashed from the last visit.  Other than a few weird noises we went to sleep pretty easily.

The Concrete “Cabana”

I feel that the first order of business will to be to get a trimmer and maybe some paint / paint supplies from the store.  That way we can start to carve out a nice spot for ourselves, then expand the spot as we move along.  We also want to get some plumbing done and maybe some more bees removed while we are here.

The bees that were removed on the last trip have stayed gone, so that’s a good sign that it won’t be a futile attempt.

    Can’t even see the driveway! After a long trip, to get to a vine covered gate, it must have been shear adrenalin that kicked in when ripping the vines off!

    You just made it out. At 2AM here in NJ we had snow and freezing rain.
    Looking forward to the rest of your adventure.

    In the middle of the night, showing up to a place I haven’t been to in 8 months I wasn’t sure what to expect at all. One thing was for sure though, some vines weren’t going to stop me!

    Like you said, adrenalin.

    Welcome home!

    Those flights from Denver to Newark to Aguadilla can be unforgiving sometimes. But at least you made it in one piece, right?
