Also, don't forget the icebergs. They don't like inaugural voyages.

Speaking of heading across the pond instead of the East Coast, I was shocked to learn that my brother is interested in coming to France with me this time around, instead of coordinating a Vermont trip. Amazing.

Kristin, are you talking about not being there on June 26/27 now?

If I went, yeah. D just got the update today, so he won't be able to go to the F2F regardless. But honestly, I don't think I have the money to fly over to England anyway. It's just hard to pass up an opportunity like that!

Yep, I just got the news that the dates for the work on the Epic have shifted so no F2F for me this year.

Well, crap.

That cruiseship goes right by my friends' beach apartment in Lee-on-the-Solent (I spent my first day in England with them on this last trip...sadly it was mostly spent at the local NHS for my stupid rassafrassin ear). Anyway, we watched several ships cruise on by...and now one of them will be yours.

You should go on the cruise, Pix.

So next Saturday is my birthday, and I decided that I need to get the hell out of town. Anyone on the East Coast wanna party next weekend?

Wish I could make it out there Tom. I'll be in Kansas City unfortunately

I'd love to see you in GA, Tom, but my mother will be in town. You might want to avoid that action.

Come to Florida! It's Spring Break. You can stay here. Brendon will be in Orlando at some Easter basketball tournament thing. You could join him! I'll be home working and packing and being very dull. But I can loan you a car and give you directions to the beach! (only a mile, you can walk) I'd tell the bunny to make you an Easter basket.

So not so great with the Delray Beach pimping. Maybe I should link pictures of the drunken fools vacationing students on the beaches.
