The rest of the trip will go fast once I get on the plane to Charlotte. One of the best things that I did for this trip is buy a first class ticket (it was cheap actually) so the rest of the journey will be in comfort.
Looking forward to seeing ya'll on the boat.

Bar/beverages: The vessel has two refrigerators (one on the top deck and one in the dining room) that are always fully stocked with soda, beer, milk, lemon slices, and other things. Of soda, it's primarily Coke and Diet Coke, also some Sprite and Bitter Lemon for mixers. There is red and white wine, which I suppose varies. We had Merlot. There is a variety of beers, including Coors Light and some local brews (Turks Head). The liquor cabinet next to the fridge is well stocked also, with the usual variety of hard liquor. Our gang of 12 wasn't particularly hard drinkers, so I don't know if the beer and liquor ever run out.
I would expect somewhat the same. -Clint

Several lucky ducks will arrive in Providenciales tomorrow....
Joe & I are the last to arrive on Saturday, but that just means we can go straight to the boat & crack open the duty free while we unpack.
We've got a great group going on the trip....and I think we're gonna get some diving done in between all the darned storms!

I am sitting here at the Portland airport during my 7 hour layover... ugh! I hate United incase any one missed that fact! However, I am in a bar having a glass of wine, or should that be "whine", knowing that at least 2 of our group are going to be landing in T&C shortly.

Hi Jim, sitting here in T&C with Jessica, I ran into an odd situation at the Comfort Suites, they believe that I need to pay for the room with my credit card. I haven't followed the entire online BS but I'm wondering if I've missed something along the way, hoping maybe you have an answer to this issue, or will at least be prepared for the check in experience. Comfort Suites is nice in the dark, we did some exploring around the area, ate at Coco's and would be willing to go again but will see what the group feels like. See you tomorrow.

Hi Wayne,
Tell them that the reservation is paid for under the name of Kamala Shadduck confirmation number 47573837
There should not be a problem as the rooms were already paid for.
Let me know if that helps. Any problems with the taxi?

I gave them the confirmation number and they said it was thru a booking agent and they get a credit card to reserve the room and we are to pay the hotel directly. I'm sure we will get everything worked out ok just was surprised that things were confused. No problem with the limo, he wasn't sure what rate we were supposed to pay and didn't charge us anything, said we could work it out when he takes us to the boat

I sent Kamala a note asking her to contact the hotel and get it straightened out. We have 5 more people coming in today and it would be better to get it fixed prior to us all checking out tomorrow so that Kamala does not have to worry about getting a refund from the hotel.
Good to hear about the limo. Glad it worked out.
See you this afternoon.
Jim

Gaston has been downgraded to under a Tropical Storm and only 20% chance of reformation. NICE!
A colleague sent me this link of an interactive storm map. I you do have the luxury of sitting at a computer, this is awesome.. shows projected paths, expected windspeeds around the hurricane, distance to cities, etc.
