NikkiB - I find I rather miss writing them! Thank you for your kind wishes.
Rum-polephoreskin - So glad to see you back on the boards! I would be one of those folks wondering how things had turned out with Mrs. Peel. I was just back from our first trip while you were sharing your existential ramblings from Negril and I enjoyed them thoroughly. I may have taken on a few a few of your literary devices.I do try to work useful tidbits into our tale, I am glad your finding some of them. Thanks for the reminder about Biggas. It would have been a stop last year, if Sunshine hadn't been down for the count.
Guirigay - I'm feeling a little star struck, with two great trip reporters commenting one after the other. I'm a big fan of your stories, I am glad you've enjoyed mine. Congrats again to you and Sweetie Pie. Thanks for sharing those pictures of your big day.
That pretty much sums up the plan!
We are no longer counting days, but hours. I checked us in this morning and have our boarding passes printed out. I'm more than half packed and at this point really, I have a passport and credit card, the rest is just details!
