Mar 6 - more hanging out

Let's see ... up at the EC usual time, around 6am, breakfast, found diet pepsi !  bonus !  because the supermarket was closed and had to go to the mini market for milk. 

The Gulliver website was still down so at 8am I called their office, talked to Marianne -- did you try Internet Explorer, she asked ?  Ha.  Later she emailed me that the indeed had a problem and we went back and forth with info until late in the afternoon their website was up and running again so I could pay for the tour.  They needed a copy of my credit card -- how to scan that ?  Well, a smartphone isn't far away these days, so that worked, and then they needed full names, nationality, passport numbers, birth dates of my traveling mates. 

Earlier on, I did load up the Amazon Kindle app and started reading the next book of the Clifton Chronicle series by Jeffrey Archer; since Sandy had already paid for and downloaded them from Amazon, I did it again; no charge. 

Some time on the beach, a Dave-lunch (beans, raman noodles, mushrooms) while the others had more normal food, interspersed with the aforementioned back and forth with the tour company.

We're all packed now; Jaeme (sp ?) pronounced "Hime", the property manager, will pick us up at 7:45 p.m. to go to the airport.  Hopefully we'll all fit, including the hanging chair that Sandy bought ... we'll see if that makes it to Miami !

We'll have dinner at some point, I guess and then the action will begin.

Tonight will be followed by a very long day.  We have to be at the tour by 6:45 a.m. (fun !) and then it will be one continuous action-packed adventure until we get back to New Smyrna Beach around noon the next day ... !!

Onward ?  I sure hope so !
