Holiday Inn Airport Conf Centre West Palm Beach

I am all ready and am now waiting for the shuttle to take me to the airport. My flight is at 2:35 PM to JFK where I will have a 5 hour layover, arriving in Cairo at 4:45 PM local time. I estimate from the time I leave home to check in at the hotel in Cairo will be about 26 hours. <br>

I arrived in West Palm Beach at around 1pm and was picked up by my parents where we headed out to our amazing condo. Normally the place is around $1000/wk for a one bedroom condo but we were given a discount for knowing an employee that is apart of the wedding.. $350/wk total. I can't complain either way since I just bummed the couch but it is quite a steal. We could see the ocean from our porch, and could be in the water in about ...

He took care of the rest of the laundry and packed up the car by himself and then drove for 9 hours. What a trooper. We did forget our car chargers though. Oops!!!!<br>

Last minute shopping day, and success, I found some shoes that fitted, not only did they fit I liked them. l also found some pants that were OK too. I took a little too long finding my shoes and not keeping an eye on the Co-Pilot so do I have to mention that she also found a pair she liked!!

... with the promise of an early sale, fingers crossed. Very strange ride up the Interstate at 70/75 mph with no helmet, something that probably won't ever happen again. <br><br>Went back to Erin the hostesses house for coffee and had a great afternoon with her and her husband who was on the wagon and very appreciative of having overseas guests and a genuine reason to break out ...

So, we stayed a week in Floria. There was myself and Matt, and our other friends Sam and Nat. Although we never really left the condo it was a super good time and was so nice just to relax after camp.<br><br>England won the Ashes which cheared Matt up no end, so in turn made the holiday even more special.<br><br>We spent an evening staying with our ...

... and most of our hostel stays booked. Now we are just trying to figure<br>what we really need to pack. Everything has felt so unreal up to this<br>point. It seems like it was only a few months ago that Mitch and I were<br>joking around about going to Europe. Now we are only about a week and a<br>half away. <br><br> Master Plan <br><br>So it took alot of reworking to get to this point. We started with<br>a alot of places in mind. First the plan was to start in ...

... sight of out boat in the marina. The restaurant is at the edge of the restored central city area, adjacent to the Intercostal Waterway. http://www.erbradleys.com Read about E. D. on the web site, it turns out to be a really cool place. Judy had the best meal; a ¼ pineapple filled with chicken salad and surrounded by fruit. After lunch we go hack to the boat, and it is raining hard. Judy and I walk to the Bank of America a couple of blocks from the ...

... at Vero Beach with NICOU and have been together since. They are relatively new to sailing, having only three years experience, and they wanted to travel with someone who was also crossing to the Bahamas, so our three boats will cross together. We have anchored at the north end of the anchorage to be close to a dinghy landing and the shopping malls. Some mornings it is almost impossible to land your dinghy as so many boats are here provisioning as they wait to cross over or ...
