Yes folks, as I sit here in my stuffy office I count but a handful of remaining days before I leave this grind for that little piece of paradise under the sun. For the past 9 months I've been staring at my screensaver (below) eight hours a day meticulously checking each day off of the Calendar as I leave, awaiting the day I can experience that blissful view first-hand. That screensaver has served me so well in relieving the stress imparted on me by the powers-that-be that it will surely be forever etched in my mind. Although it's but a mere slice of a time that I will spend in AC, I'm sure it will be one remembered always, and revisited in more ways than one. I dream of the Tarpon's spectacular aerial acrobatics, the Bonefish's lightning-quick runs, and the Permit ogling my fly with its ever-so-skeptical eye. I can only hope that I've prepared myself in mind and body to be worthy of challenging them, as they are each masters of their domain. I will leave knowing that even if I don't succeed, I will be rewarded many times over by my surroundings alone; and if I do succeed, the greatest reward will be returning them to the sea to fight again. I'd like to thank everyone for the wonderful information that I've found on this message board and only hope I can reciprocate. I can't help but recall Capt. Jeff's words of wisdom every time I think of the journey that awaits me - "Live the dream�" This is gonna rock!

Oops, had to edit, as I posted twice.

Angelo...yes you will be living the dream and we can't wait to meet the hammock surfer that you are when we too arrive at Banana beach...looking forward to meeting you & being possible witnesses to your Grand Slam

Go live the dream...we're right behind you ...Goody

Angelo, I hope you have a great time, and may your fly-line by way out far and stripping pure backings on lunkers ! ms

You will be seeing that exact scene before you know it! Enjoy!

Angelo - that is a totally cool screen saver - where did you get it? can you share? I'm sure looking at that every day for the next 2 months will definitely help my stress levels! Be gentle with the fishies - you don't wear those bones, permit and tarpon out; leave them some energy to lunge at our flies in June ! Have a great time, and please post often while you're there, if you have the time - we'll be looking forward to hearing all about the fishing (and anything else that's fit to post).

Sharon/Richard,

Screensaver is a bit of a misnomer. It's actually just desktop wallpaper. Here's the link. Just download it, set it as your desktop wallpaper, and picture yourself standing on that casting deck.

Can't wait to meet some people myself Goody, but you can't go jumping up and down like that at Banana Beach because I think I'm in the oceanfront suite directly below you. I gotta get up early you know.

thanks, Angelo - that's much more fun to look at when I'm working than my regular wallpaper!

angelo you go live the dream and enjoy .catch some fish ,eat some great food ,pick up some local kids in golf cart and give them a ride ,and listen to there laughter .. go to the end of a dock and watch the sunset . and most important come back again/again to sanpedro for lots years and ,for as long as you can ,live life to the max ..

Will do Capt. I have gifts for the kids and my guide as well. I always bring something with me to share with people when I travel. Those boarders at Banana Beach will have some too(first come, first serve). Leaving in the afternoon
