I finally got all the details worked out for the much-anticipated Ultra-light plane ride. I was referred to a guy in Chapala that organizes adventures for tourists and he kindly arranged (for a small part of the fee, I'm sure) an Ultra-light flight for us even though it wasn't on his usual list of "adventures". Unfortunately, he didn't really know what an Ultra-light plane was so he booked Dave on this:
It turned out for the best though, because even on this bigger plane, Dave got horribly airsick. He said he felt fine until they turned around to come back and his stomach flipped. He didn't hurl, but spent some time wondering where he would do it if it got any worse.
The kids and I stayed at the airfield and watched his take-off and landing. As soon as he got back, Charlie said "my turn". And was only placated when he got to sit in the cockpit. He loved watching those planes.

I love that picture of Charlie! And Dave, I know I'm the worst sister in the world--Happy Birthday.
Ooooooo...so sorry about the nausea. What a GREAT gift idea though Carrie. Hoep the whole birthday was fantastic!
Dave, I thought you would've learned after that episode when you were a kid and our cousin (one of Dad's nephews and I can't remember his name) took you up in a small plane and you turned all green and stuff. Dad loves telling that story!
