Well sportsfans it is two days and a wake up for a couple of us.. YIPPPEEEEE!!
Meryl are you READY???????? Remember Gibi's Tuesday night..{we'll gab on the plane!}

Oh yeah, Good Morning everyone,
Eileen, Quinn is getting so big..

Cecil, Glad you and family had a good time, Love the pictures keep them coming.

Kelly, we try to go at least once a year and we go either in January or Sept for coral spawning..

Cynde, Did the "boys" get back from getting Dylons stuff?? is it still raining??

Babs, how are you and how are your parents??

Liz will you and Ed meet us at Gibi's on Tuesday??

Martin and Angela, I am secretly praying that you do not fly out on Saturday!! Unless of course you can make it stop raining and stop the mosquitos from biting me....

Tom ! you certainly get up early in the morning...I'll miss your smilie face!!!

I apologise if I missed anyone and just want to remind you that it is TWO DAY AND A WAKE UP

Whooo Whoooo!!!
Big day ahead for me....tomorrow...(today?!) is a cook-a-thon...20 meals for "da boids" to be cooked!
I am really excited....!
Freddie...not sure how much "gabbing" I will do on the plane....Morphine drips don't bring out the best in me! But Jake and Linda (and Carl!) will tell you I won't shut up once we get to Gibi's... I just won't be myself on the plane! But I am usually pretty alert(HA!) in Montego Bay....Bring napkins!

Freddie - Meryl, I would love to be on that plane with a camera:-{)}

Will try to send a bunch of smileys later.

Freddie and Meryl - I am so excited for you!!!

Hola to Everyone!!

First - Congratulations to Freddie, Tom and Seb and I know they'll do a great job and will be watching us!!!

Freddie and Meryl have a wonderful trip and say hello to us on the cams, look forward to seeing you.

I have been too busy at work and just be lurking, right now I am on my lunch break.

All of you take care -

Fredster, have a great trip gal! OH, and please get blackmail pictures of Meryl on the plane for us...hee hee ;-)

OH, 57 days and a wake up! LOL! I got in touch with the dive shop that will certify Sarah in ARizona, lucky girl will get to do her check out dives on Bonaire, instead of a lake in Arizona

Oh, and just have to "share." Michael, Dylon and I took a walk last night, and on the way home were talking about getting Sarah's basic gear, mask, fins, snorkel, etc. So we were discussing full foot fins as adverse to bootie fins...and if she would be diving with us over here...etc. etc...so I said "well, you need booties on Bon"...Dylon just about choked he was laughing so hard...ya get it???

OMG Cynde, that's hilarious !! I love Dylon! (maybe we should bring Steph... have ya SEEN that J-Lo bootie??!)

Kelly, we all laughed pretty hard after I realized what I'd said! LOL! I know, I need to get a good pic of that boy to send Steph ;-0 We need to get this arranged marriage thing going, they're almost 18!

Fredster, Actually I am up a lot earlier than e-mails and post might lead you to believe. I just sit at the puter consuming large quantities of coffee until the fog starts to lift before I type:

And of course :-{)}

OK I am finished packing......
we will be at Gibi's on Tuesday evening and we will take photos.
I will try to get to the bar cam at Eden and if it is not too far from Capt Don's we will scuba to the reef cam..{we are real good on air!}
I will try to take an incriminating photo of Meryl on the plane.....HEE HEE...
I am so excited.. tomorrow I go to the salon and have a haircut and do...
I have my clothes all laid out for the trip. and I just can't wait.. I also hate it that as soon as it starts it is the beginning of the END!!! We plan on getting the wireless set up so I will check in at least once a day...and we are going to burn DVD's as we go with the photos.. We are going with Babsi and Ken and Ken is a really good photographer. I will make sure he posts photos or I will post them for him.
I emailed Ann Phelan today and got directions for the French Bistro so I think we will be going there for one meal..
I will meet Delno Tromp at the airport to hand him over the Lance Armstong bracelets and I will also meet Ellen Muller to deliver some clothes to her...
I am looking forward to Gibi's Goat Stew!!! Liz,Ed, Meryl,Steve, Jake,Linda ,Bas ,Yana, Big Bas , Barbara and spouse are you going to be there???/??
