Thanks Bnewb. I'll give it a try. I'm not counting, but 33 days! Is it weird to say I'm not ready yet? We haven't had enough snow in Cleveland for me to say, "I gotta get out of here!" Our first big snow of the season was last week, 8 inches. It's gone. We had rain and almost 60 degrees yesterday. I'm sure I'll be ready in 33 sleeps! I'll be looking for some good cheese and sausage! BTW Bnewb - I tried an online search and could not find an animal rescue in Negril. Is there one? My wife and I volunteered at a humane society in Belize last year and wanted to do the same this year, but don't want to travel to MoBay or Ochi to do it.
