... first few hours were passed in a sleepy daze until we hit the breakfast stop which was only about an hour and a half away from the border. The scenery was very hilly and beautiful to look at.

Come 5pm, one of the dive boats was loaded with huge speakers, eskis packed with ice and beer and enough rum to last several hours on the water.

It was later in the night and I had woken up from my Ambien sleep, went to the restroom...for an hour...and then went back to bed to watch television, when it started shaking. Nice ...
