I just had to remind our friend Patrick that I shall be on Bonaire Tuesday, August 5th to the 14th. I'll do posts Patrick, not to worry. LOL

RUB IT IN JIM - go ahead and RUB IT IN!

Just to let you know - Stuart will be back in school when you go to Bonaire. Seriously - he got back from the BVI last night/this morning and school starts on Monday August 4th. DANG - feels like the summer is over.

Mara, school starts where? Is that all of Tennessee? We don't go back until the 26th. The kids come back the day after Labor Day, which is early this year. I believe it is the 1st. However, this is my big countdown. I file my retirement papers in January for June. It has been a good 35 years.

And I'll be there the 7th ! Woo hoo !

KELLY you bum ;-)

It's not all of TN but a lot of it is early. Some of the other cities nearby are anywhere from the 4th - the 15th which seems like a waste to me to start school on a Friday but whatever...

I'm sure you already have those papers pre-filled Jim. 35 years - it's time to be done!

Jim,

Remember, when you rub it in to Patrick, you are inadvertently rubbing it in to everyone.....

Then everyone gets to rub it into you later. It is a vicous cycle!

But in all honesty, I hope you have a great trip. Leave some Brights and Polars for us..... about three weeks behind you (I'm almost to the point where I am starting to count hours). And remember that old saying about payback......:-)

Dave, really, it was just meant at Patrick. LOL You are right about it being a vicious cycle, but that's what makes it great. We all get to be vicious. At least when you go, I get to read your tremendous trip reports. That always keeps me occupied in the doldrums of PA. :-)

Well Jim, obviously it doesn't take much to entertain some people..... myself included.....

Jim - Kelly, I hope you enjoy yourselves

Our classes kick off August 25. I'm so looking forward to it! BUT....I would be much happier if I was back on Bon and saying - school doesn't start until August 25. Oh well....

I cannot wait to see your posts!!!

Jim you just keep on rubbing it in!!!!!!!!!!

I hope you have a better vacation then i did.........

Poor Patrick, you need to go back and make up for that one not so good vaction . . .
