Well...this will be the beginning of our trip report...I will not do a war and peace like Andy's, (he's so articulate, ya can't help but love him!)... and I a mere Joisey girl will try to sum it up,,,at least this part...before my glass of wine ends....There may be a follow up as I do have jet/xanax lag (call it what you will)..

Great report, Meryl. Yup, one week is purely a "tease"...must be 10 days minimum to truly enjoy your time on the island...much more time is preferred, but we all learn the hard way about a one week stay! Glad you finally got your luggage back intact and wish you luck with the claim...be nice, but be forceful...I have been in the claims business for waayyy too many years not to know...being nice will help you immensely, but you must be forceful (with tact) and relentless, too. Can't wait to see you pics posted! Carole (Shutterbug)

Meryl, loved your trip report and look forward to your posting some photos. Looking at them is my solution to PBD!

Hey, Meryl - glad you are back! What a story - the good news is...you didn't have a mountain of dirty laundry to sort through, LOL! May, eh? In the immortal words of Kermit the Frog, "It's not easy being green," which is what envy makes me. Nice report :-)

Meryl, great report...we went to Capricio's for dinner one night, and it was probably some of the best italian food we have had. Too bad about the selling of the "things" at sand$...as I have said before, we really enjoyed Bari, Andre and his operation, and the zale's condo was perfect. we will be staying there again if we can swing paying for the 2 rooms and only needing one (Michael liked having his own bathroom and extra room to pile his stuff!) If we are there in May when you are, Michael and I will be your surrogate dive buddies... we never saw Bon before Lenny, so it is all good with us

Missed you Meryl. Not meeting you at Capn Don's on the Saturday night is one of the only two regrets I have from my entire trip...sorry. Check out the thread along the lines of "Is diving in the North ok?" in the diving & snorkeling section.

Andy, my husband and I have a "Whining" award. I'm hereby awarding today's one to you for the above self-pitying message!! Just excellent whining....

That's all it takes Josie. I'm born again!!

fancypants (I'm back to calling you that and NOT Sir Andrew due to the above severe whining...whining....whining...) I ditto to Josie...I look forward to your daily dribble with great anticipation and don't you dare put that pen down now...so go take the stopper out of the scotch, and start typing!

Don't bail out on us now, Andy! We are in such awe of your spinning of tales, that we are spellbound and speechless...that is why we don't always respond! Please continue with your epic/saga! Carole (Shutterbug)

Andy..I'm still unpacking.....lots of bird doo to clean up...we were gone for over a week....I too am listening....Missed you at Captain Dons....but I was a bit wobbely from the trip..so I don't think I would have presented well...I did ask at Lions Den if you and Tim showed up....Did you go there? Kirk seems to remember you.....your legend lives on! Please continue...even if Dave yawns....
