Don’t count out **GeoBabe** and me yet! We may be able to swing it, possibly depending on the doc’s diagnosis of some car trouble earlier tonight up in Va. ---

Good god that sounds like fun. I wish you guys all the best and I must say you’ve put together one of the coolest groups I could imagine (albeit it would be even better if I were there, but that goes without saying, doesn’t it?). You are all on orders to have fun on my behalf. MrBlue, you especially, because I can drive up to where you live and wag my finger in your face if you don’t. Believe me, you don’t want a scolding from a cranky Cranky. ---

Woo-freakin-HOO! A note, though, we will all need EITHER a passport OR a birth certificate WITH another gub’mint issued ID to get BACK into the US of A. [http://www.usvi.net/us-ins/html/travel\_back....html](http://www.usvi.net/us-ins/html/travel_back....html) ---

Just so you know, You can get wallet sized and laminated birth certificates made just for travel. I found this out when I went to the local health department to get copies of my hubby’s and my own birth certificates when we were going on a cruise. I was kind of skeptical when I seen them cause they are the short form and don’t include your birth weight and stuff but they are indeed legal and have the official seal on them. Have fun you lucky guys and gals. Maybe sometime I’ll get to have fun… ---

I am as excited as a girl who got three hours of sleep and started her day at 6 AM by having to take her car to the shop and then endure a ride with her mother can be. ---
