Actually why not make this centric to Anna's return? Instead of setting a "traditional" date, let's plan around her homecoming. Give her a couple of days to decompress and then off to Bonaire. Goes without saying I'm ok with the comp room going to her...just make Ron pay :twisted:

Sheee-it, if the room gets comp'd I do believe that we will be buying an inordinate amount of beer. :lol: Bonaire jails aren't like Mexican jails, are they?

I have no problems setting the date a little later, it's pretty much up to the group. I do need to set it in a few weeks so we can lock in the rooms but otherwise I don't care.

Actually, from what I hear - no presonal experience- the Bonaire jails are a little nicer than the Mexican ones. :)

In all honesty, if we need to reserve rooms, then we should. The Army is not going to be remotely reliable about this, so her date will change. She is supposed to be home in the middle of April. Bear in mind that my last combat tour was supposed to be 12 months...and it took 15. I guess my point is that we will not be remotely mad if you guys do the best that you can and the dates do not match up.

Following Ron's advice I say set it for the 3rd week of April and think positive thoughts for her arrival home before that time.
After you have the date set we can get it marked on the calender, request the time off work, ask that our ankle monitoring device be removed etc..

That's true, I think Bonaire is outside of my 300 meter limit.

Just curious....Are there any Mantees in Bonaire? I can fill in for the deranged Park Ranger if it will make Nem go!. :shock:
I am also game for waiting for Anna to get home. A few weeks won't matter to me. She is a hell of a lot better looking in video than Slonda anyway. :)

So, are we looking at the 9th through the 16th right now?

Its getting close to time I need to lock a date in. So hopefully Anna can join us, how about the week of April 16-23. That is Sat to Sat. Most every airline flys on those dates.
