Ok so we need to be at the boat by 8am which means we need to leave for Key Largo no later than 5:30 to 5:45.

How many people wish to carpool from the hotel to Key Largo?

I know the flyins...Kim, Flatwood, Gar, WW, ZD will need rides but who else will need a ride as well?

(Marvel do you mind coordinating this aspect?) Thanks, -ww

Also....who besides NexAriel wants to park their car at the hotel to avoid parking fees? I do not know how many cars we can register...I'm assuming one per person but I'm sure we can help a few people out. (Only Kim, Flatwood and myself are staying at the hotel that do not have cars already.)

Walter, I'm guessing fills will be available at the boat for those that need them in the AM?

Buddy,

I'm looking forward to diving with you again, as well.

I think we're all going to have a blast!

One small change of plans - I just got next week's work schedule - they gave me Monday off! One more day of diving with you fine folks!
