You know, Dovster, I was going to suggest the same thing.
But it seemed so obvious that I didn’t want to myself.
Or, Hey, if there is stuff you absolutely can’t live without, download and archive it.
If you need directions how to handle this, pls send me a PM and I’ll walk you through it.

*** Ale House Dinner ***
Alright .. a little more information on the Ale House dinner on Friday night.
I spoke to the hotel manager this morning and was able to reserve the hotel shuttle to and from the restaurant. The shuttle will be waiting for us at 7:45pm and will leave promptly at 8pm. Then we will return from Ale House at 9:45pm. (The shuttle service ends at 10pm)
Since Ale House does not take reservations, I'm going to head out 15 mts prior to put my name down for our tables. I hope to reduce some waiting time by doing this.

violist, I'm going to check on logistics to getting from ES to PBI by tri-rail. If the weather's crappy, I probably won't want to trudge around in rain geocaching all day Saturday, so why not have lunch with a FTer! (You will make my FTer meeting number 90 in this 6-wk odyssey) Stay tuned.
1. available for lunch but has to be in PBI area because of work
2. available for lunch but has to be around 4:30 pm.
I'm guessing that you might not be up for a lunch that late if you're
dining at the BBQ place.
My old scenario was to have see how late Dan could tolerate lunch,
and if that was 4:30, that would be great.
I'll see what I can work out with Dan and Rick and let you know if
the commuter rail (scanty service on weekends) would be feasible.

violist, I was worried about you wiling away all those hours alone at PBI. Great you already have two on the hook. I may not be able to check back here before arriving in Boca. scoow (who will have a car) can figure out if it'll work for us to meet you up there. I mapped out a couple geocache sites on the way. There's one in a park at the west end of the runway(?).
Two thumbs up to Ricky for securing our Friday night designated driver. ^ ^
Today, it's 80 degrees and dry where I am. Oh well, there will be enough "FT sunshine" to cover the weekend.
I packed the three most important things - 1) the travel journal, 2) my gift for the exchange and 3) miles or points earning credit cards. See you all in a couple days.

*waving hand* *jumping up and down* Me, me, me.
Of course, I'll be waaaayyyy in the back. But I'll try not to disturb your pre-departure drink when I slink past your luxurious first class accomodations.
Need a ride to ES? Carol & I are meeting in PBI, but should have room for another. (Unless she's packed everything & the kitchen sink. Don't worry, Carol - it's only a problem because I will have packed the cabinet for it!)

I have rented a car, as I must drive to Daytona on Sunday afternoon, but thanks for the offer. If you have time, however, I would be happy to have you as my guest in the nearest CRC to our departure gate. I'm scheduled into ATL at around 1015, so there's plenty of time. That said, I'm flying to ATL on ASA, so anything is possible. If you have time for this and are unconcerned that this could send Dovster into a jealous rage, PM me and we can exchange cell phone numbers.
That may be the flight for the "good" SkyTeam members, but the truly discerning ones will be arriving on various Delta flights throughout the week.

Aww, thank you. I figured that my little Toyota Camry is too small to carpool. Also, I think I'm going to drive my car to the Ale House anyway, just in case we'll be there longer than 9:45pm (thus having to miss our hotel shuttle). Looking at the distance between ES and the Ale House, it shouldn't be more than a three minutes trip.

Richard hasnt been with DL long enough to make it acceptable to the discerning skyteam elites...on the other hand NWA doesnt enhance their "low yield markets" like some skyteam partners do....so I expect my breakfast to include eggs & meat (unlike the cup of fruit served as breakfast by that other airline in low yield markets)

Heck, doesn't your flight originate in DTW? That makes it a transcon, so breakfast seems a fitting reward for your endurance.

Well it's only fitting since I'm starting only 500 miles north of my destination (nothing like flying 600 miles north to fly 1100 south)
