Woke up at 6:00am, drove down to Mexico for the
last day. The guests wanted to do shopping so we went to Progresso, Mexico.
I had to pay close attention on them since I do not understand Spanish, just
in case... Went to the plant and stayed until 8:00pm and headed back to the
U.S. side. We had to cancel the visa. I was very close to the expiration so
I was sweating a bit. Tried to go to a steakhouse, but the daylight saving
time and traffic backup at the border prevented reaching to the destination
before closing, so, we settled at Hooters instead. Going to bed around
midnight. We have to move to Indiana tomorrow...

cloudy and heavy fog air, and arrived to Detroit airport on time. Took
almost one hour before we can claim my baggage since there were only 5 bags
for the entire flight, my coworker picked up the guest for me so I was able
to get home once, took a nap. Went to downtown to watch Detroit Tigers play
against Chicago White Sox. Say goodbye to the guest who are heading back
tomorrow, and headed home. I snacked a lot during the game so I eat small on
my dinner, headed to bed after midnight.

The reservation can be made online, and the staff was very professional.

they gave me a replacement for free. The renewal on to the new one was quite
easy, and they also gave me the additional software for free. Stayed at
office until 8:00pm and headed back home. Cooked dinner and getting ready
