I booked a flight into and out of Melbourne, arriving the 28th and departing the 4th. I've also reserved a car for the week, so I can probably take several riders, if you are heading to/ from Melborne. This was ultimately easier than a drive from Wis. to FL (and probably about the same price, all things considered.) The prospect of driving through a region-wide ice storm also factored into the decision (capitulation to reality?) Thanks to all who responded to my earlier inquiries, See you all in Sebastian!

Is Internet access available on the dropzone? I hadn't planned on going, but might have the chance now. I need to be able to log in to work, though (unfortunately!)

Weather in Sebastian is fantastic! Just spent the last two days skydiving in shorts and a t-shirt and sweating my ass off while packing! Life is good in Florida! All you frozen Yanks should hop on the next plane and get down here! |
