Hey Ralph--
When you all get there, look for a pirate looking guy and you've found me, I'll be sweating over a grill.... Just come up and say hi and I'll know who you are, very excited to be meeting Max!!! I'll give him some good tips on fishin... See you there...
Rick

Max just finished Treasure Island and was required to write a sequal.. British Honduras and pirates were involved, of course..

only 3 days---
the BBQ is going to be Great!!!! Please confirm you spot!!! Thanks, Rick

See yawl down there in 7 DAYS!!!!! They are working me like the Dog that I am. By the time I get down there I'll be exhausted.

I'm trying not to rub it in too bad with the guys I work with. Just comments like " hey no problem...by this time next week I'll be underwater with a much better species."

" Sure I'll do that! after all I'm gonna be on the beach in a few days..and you'll be where????"

" Work is just what I do between trips"

" Go ahead and screw it up..by the time you figure it out I'll be in AC and your STILL going to have to fix it"

Needless to say most are about ready to kill me and they too can't wait till I leave!
