With a 6 am departure on Thursday morning, many of us are grappling with that age-old question - stay awake all night before we go or go to sleep early? Like the DC CAS, there is only one correct answer - sleep, sleep, sleep! Go to bed early on Wednesday, hope that the three alarm clocks you set get you up in time, and then get ready to fly! This will be the quietest flight ever - 56 snoring kids at 6:20 am.
There is so much to look forward to - beaches, rivers, mountains, animals, friends. I am REALLY looking forward to Tortuguero - to get there we need to take a boat through the canals for an hour and a half or so (or more) - the only way in to this way off-the-beaten track spot. The town is very isolated, but very tropical. I am hoping we see manatees on the way - the huge sea cows that survive in the canals and were the origins for the mermaid stories in the Caribbean. If you go on the web you can find a little map of the town of Tortuguero and its two little schools. Imagine if the only way to get to Deal from out of town was a two-hour boat ride! Where would the Vikings play their away games?
Thanks so much for the informative posts. It almost feels like we are there with you.
