Ya, I saw that counter go from 30 to 29 days and it felt pretty darn good. I think Mark is feeling the energy too, he sent a note about a possibility on some sailing.
I tell ya, it's nice not have a group to babysit this time around, or this year even.
I'm looking forward to the outdoor loo at Callaloo Villa. Wave when you drive by!
With any luck I'll go to three trip counters before we leave with Spring Break 2008 booked.
Cheers, RickG

Rick,
We arrive the day after you do, so I love watching your counter. We're staying in Coral Bay and have an outdoor shower, hopefully you won't wave while we are in there.
If you see people with Harley shirts on it's probably us. Three brothers and the outlaw sister-in-laws.

RickG - you are just a mean mean braggart. Would you like to adopt me?

I apply lotion very liberally and evenly, need a lotion butler? This girl has a platinum Amex and WILL travel.
I usually travel top STJ in April, but this year we're doing December. Every afternoon on the drive home I keep thinking I gotta pack!! Ugh!!

Yee haa, the NoVa ladies are ready to play today! It must be nice outside, but I'm deep in the bowels of a concrete monstrosity down on Thomas Circle.
That's it, I'm leaving for McLean. I can do conference calls from a nicer locale just as well.
Cheers, RickG

Gromit and I are friends and are thus a package deal
She handles the suntan oil, I prefer to mix the drinks!

If there's only room for one, she ain't my friend! I can mix a mean specialty: Tang, Grey Goose L'Orange and ice. It's a beauty!!
I made it for Flip flop when we were vacationing at Ambiance together a couple of years ago. You should have seen the look of joy on her face!
Yummy!!

Gromit is a fibber .. it was not Grey Goose L'Orange way too uppity for the island. It was orange RUM! And yeah it was a work of magic. It was the drink that inspired me from the pool to yell at the men "I don't care what we have for dinner but I am NOT getting out of this pool, please make sure the kid is ok" I was OFF-shift at that point.
And how quickly she dropped me! Man! With friends like that who needs enemies. Or anemones as nemo would say. Man I NEED A VACATION I am just giddy.

Xislandgirl & RickG you guys deserve each other ... rubbing in those under triple digit countdowns is just cruel cruel cruel.
Gromit - find us a deal and I am in! The kids can fend for themselves!
