Quin, make sure you check the TV screen for your departure gate while you are hanging out at the Houston airport. I didn't do that last time and they switched gates on me. Darn near missed my plane. You will have a wonderful time. Spend that time hanging at the Houston airport to bring yourself down to Belize speed. It is a great decompression zone. As you can see, I was so decompressed on my third trip down there, that I almost missed my plane through lack of being uptight!!

Hi Quinn: I might be on the same flight. Got a great price ($589) for 6 months. I've got a place on the Lagoon Side. My phone #2689 is for you. The Conch Shell has a great location, I can't say that I've seen any of the units. Ya can watch the fish being de-scaled from your front porch. Don't wear expensive hats, the Pelicans really like them! Take care: Bill

Hi IslandinParadise: The last time someone claimed that they were 17 years old, turned out they were calcutating in dog years (119 years old). Take care: Bill

Hey thanks for the input. I'll keep a close I on the monitors, I'm kind of worried about flights being canceled on me. I don't know what the room has in it, but for $20 a night I can't complane. I'll be sure and checkout Estel's for Breakfast.

Bill did you really mean 6 months? Wow! I thought 3 weeks was a long trip. Will you even be able to function when you get back? We'll have to have a beer together while we're both there.

Quin..Rick and I will be arriving on Oct. 30th...staying at the Holiday Hotel...we should try and meet up at the bar on the 30th!! But you're gonna miss Hallowen on AC, and our Saga Benefit...if ya don't see us at the bar (Rick has a damaged eye from an auto accident and wears a patch, so you can't miss us, or ask them at the front desk. Hope to see ya!! C&R

Hi Quinn: Caught me in a lie. I'll actually be there 8 months. It looks like CO flt 1956 on 10/10/01, will be returning on 6/10/02. The answer to your question is, no, I don't really do to well after coming back from Belize. Lookin forward to seeing you somewhere along the line. Take care: Bill

Hey Bill, we will be on the same flight. I guess I'll be in seat 15F.

Rick & Cherri, I'm going to call my travel agent and see if I can return a day later.

It's only 9 days away and I'm trying to iron out some stuff. Namely money. Should I get travelers checks (are they widely accepted?), or are there bank machines I can use? What do you guys use??

bill & quin: a favor?

10/26 is my birthday, and i wish i could be there for it. i don't much drink, so would you each mind just wiggling your toes in the sand for me on that day? i think it is a friday. it would mean a lot to me.

thanks,

jane

Jane,

I just put a note on the calender to wiggle my feet, and take some pics to send you. That way you'll have pics of what it was like on your B-Day on AC. Maybe Bill and I can scrounge up a cupcake and candle too .

Quin
