September 2009 Jamaica Trip Countdown Starts

lmao I hear ya...!

[ECO]

Lol, I got my large travel suitcase from my attic and my normal sized carry on to see if I would be able to take one of them or if I needed both of them. The normal sized one will not fit my good tripod so it looks like I'm going to have to pay for an extra bag I guess the benefit of bringing two bags is that I can pack 8 changes of clothes plus some clothes to wear out in the evenings and I will not have to do laundry at all! With my normal sized suitcase I can fit my cameras, laptop bag and all of my electronic stuff so the folks at the x-ray machine can have a field day searching it

I think I have ants in my pants.

Need to figure out a way to pack a suit jacket in my suitcase so it will not get all wrinkled.

[damswell]

you can carry it on the plane with you

[ECO]

you can carry it on the plane with you

That is what I'll end up doing. I generally get cold on planes so it can keep me warm.

tomorooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

[damswell]

ditto...but for us it starts today!!

[Wahoo]

Sitting here in slack-jawed northern Va, green with envy that all of you are (or soon will be) in Jamaica, living it up & partying like rock stars. For the amount of the unexpected expenses I've incurred & paid this past week, I could have financed a week there, too! I'll have to content myself with staying at that one-star motel near Virginia Tech and the artery-clogging breakfast at Dennys.

Have fun, guys. Wish I could join you.

I know the feeling Wahoo!
The beach, the sand, and the drinks--dying of envy
We just have to create our own fun while there gone.

[ECO]

Rose & Wahoo, pack your bags and tag along!

My 540 am flight is starting to irk me, the parking garage at BOS is going to cost $220 ish for 9 days, asking someone to drive me there at 3am is just not polite and a shuttle service wants $165. It looks like I'm going to end up taking a taxi for $95 and having someone pick me up on the way back. While I love getting to Jamaica at 1030 am, the whole 3am stuff sucks!

[ECO]

Lol, I just got an earful for booking a taxi with only 6.5 hours notice I can't understand why someone would complain about 6.5 hours of notice for a $88.50 fare and a $11.50 tip...........a sign that the economy is getting better?

Oh well, if we get rain I might start on a trip report while I'm down there if not I'll never get around to it like last time

[Wahoo]

Anybody heard from Eco? He seems to have disappeared off the radar. I just hope he's not a guest of Negril's "no-rent hotel" (ie, jail; "No rent to pay, no wife to obey, no..."--I forget how the rest goes).
