Rita, Ian and I went shopping today at the Mega. All went well until we were ready to come home. Each of us had a list of items to buy. We were to meet for coffee, each with our full cart. The grocery store was crowded and when we finally checked out and met at the coffee shop, we realized that a regular size taxi would not hold all our groceries so we discussed our options.
Much to my dismay, I saw a long line waiting for a taxi. I hate waiting in line, so as we were waiting to exit the store, I asked a young man if there was another way to get a taxi. He was a salesman for one of the time share companies so he made a deal with me. He offered to drive us and our groceries home to Playa Royale if we would attend a 90 minute time share presentation on Friday morning, which would include breakfast. Well. That was too good a deal to turn down. Our time here is worth nothing and he will give us 2000 pesos in addition to the transportation home. You can see that I was desperate.
When the salesman got his car, we noted to our dismay that his car was old and small. He was able to fit all our groceries in his car if we three squeezed into the back seat. The only problem was the weight. Every time we ran over a speed bump, the bottom of his car scraped. Between Mega and home there were at least 15 speed bumps. What a noise. He slowed way down over the bumps and a swooshing sound came from his car. I felt sure we were going to get stuck in his car with all our groceries. But we did get home and he helped us load the carts to get the groceries upstairs. We three giggled all the way home. Now we must keep our side of the bargain and attend on Friday which will be a first time share presentation for Rita and Ian. Our ride home today was one for the records.
