Taking a short break from the packing mayhem! Have gotten through the air shipment, storage shipment, playroom and kitchen packouts. DH is supervising the storeroom pack out right now. I just have someone packing pictures right now.

Hopefully we'll finish on time - I hate long pack-outs!!! But they've told us we won't be done before Friday. We'll see.

Happy Monday everyone!!!

I don't know how you do it! I'm stressed enough just getting ready for vacation and you have to pack up and move too! When do you leave?

We're not coming back this tour - this is just our home leave to see family and take a little break.

We're actually heading to Kampala, Uganda for the next two years.

Hello FE LIST.... We were offered an upgrade, so our State Room number has changed!! We are thrilled with the upgrade

- CAT 8 to CAT 6 - but apologize for any inconvenience for the FE gift exchange. I will post our room number if we get it early... if not, we will have it Sunday morning at the DIS meet. Thanks!

Today's tortola Update from Miss Mermaid:

84 degrees on a quiet Monday. Last night I could hear the tropical wave march right past us. The winds whipped up and seas were choppy and a bit of rain briefly fell. Then by morning, all was beautiful again. Well sort of.

There is this thick fog laying about, and we don't get fog, but we have it now. Very eerie.

My friend was out late last night and he said the fog was so thick, he could barely see to drive. Very odd stuff this fog.

I was watching the fool moon party at Trellis Bay via the webcam on S/V Sophisticated Lady. So I thought I would make a post and others could watch the party too. I could see the fireball lit up brightly and people traversing the beach. Before I cold post, POOF, the internet crashed and it never came back up again. I called about it, got the usual run around. Today it is working again, intermittently, I will try to get this out pronto!

I finished up my work and went to bed,woke up, couldn't sleep, turned on the idiot box and there was the Roseanne show, playing a marathon. So I giggled my way through the night, as much of it was hilarious. I didn't have a TV for 20+ years, so I never saw the show when it was first run. If you need a good giggle, they deliver plenty.

It must have been a great full moon party at both ends of the island as things are super quiet on my end of the island. Another new restaurant packed up bags and closed for good. Kind of sad. The employees were the last to know. I know the feeling, it's happened to me before.

Well, the good news is there are cheap flights all over creation coming down here. Bargains abound!

Want to see what is happening in totola right now?

We've had a lot of lucking people on this thread so far!!!!!

We aren't one of them yet though. We are happy with the room we have (secret verandah) but an upgrade is always welcome!

Yes, the school mascot was a pickle. Since we had no sports teams, so no real trophies, we had a trophy case full of all kinds of jars of pickles that were relabeld. It was an interesting school to go to.

OK if it keeps raining i will not have to go to FL to get on the Magic the Magic will be able to come to me. Anyone got a boat I can borrow? The little girl I mentioned on Friday passed away this afternoon. The family decided to take her off life support when everyone realized there was no options left. Tomorrow the other teachers and I have the difficult task of explain this to these young children who have been asking where there friend is.

I've got to get off of here before I get fried by the lighting that just hit outside my house.

Well Congratulations!! They sure must have a lot of category 6 cabins still open, which is great for us!

I have updated the FE list with this cabin change.

I'm so sorry.

I'm going to attempt to make a FE. If it is successful I'll let you know so we can be added to the list. If it's not successful - I'll just quietly hide it in the corner.

Even if it's a paper-bag - it's the effort that counts!!!!

Don't worry, we won't tease at all...
