WOW! Thanks to all - and keep it coming! All you have done so far is reaffirm my belief that we made the best decision possible!

Bevm - Go Bucks! Can't wait for a full season of Pryor!
Wedding night dinner will be Zozo's (by the rail)

Jo Ann - We will see you on the 24th at the Beach Bar!

Jmq - in your opinion, what does conch taste most like - and even if it's true - "just like chicken" is not what I wanna hear!!

RickG - Oh boy, I can see we are going to need to sit down with a clod one and discuss the subtleties of Centennial, Cascade and (my personal favorite) Simcoe. Thanks for all that alcohol related info! The best part of living in Cleveland is Great Lakes Brewing Co. and this place, "where everybody knows our name" - the #1 Brewpub in America......

SoulvilleUSA - No anchor line!??!?! Thanks, I'll definitely learn from your experience and take an inventory...and do more push ups!

piscesgirl0314 & loria - I'm glad to hear nice things about Ann Marie, she left us a really nice phone message after we booked the wedding.

To all that I have not addressed personally, thank you too! Before we leave I'll be printing all of this stuff out and sticking it in the Feet, Fins book!!

Drumbiker,

Just another tip... if you are planning on having the jeep over on St. Thomas on the Tuesday... and are planning on picking up your certificate in the morningish hours, I would suggest going over to the Ritz Carlton for lunch and some time on the beach (they don't mind as long as you buy lunch.) The Ritz itself is worth the visit. Very Romantic. The Ritz is located over by Red Hook.

I think someone also mentioned Cost-U-Less. This is definietly the place to stock up on beverages and groceries. (it is a Sam's/Costco type place... bulk items) It is located in kind of the center of the island of St. Thomas.

Also, there is a "tie up" line on the front of the boats so you can tie up to the bouys at Waterlemon and the like. ....and no need to take inventory... they just don't have them anymore... guess too many people kept losing things overboard.

Ann Marie is WONDERFUL...I don't know how she does it, but after a beief conversation walking towards the beach with you she will make your wedding ceremony so "personal" and totally about the two of you...can't wait to see some pictures when you return...

Ja, Cleveland's a fun town. It's been a couple of years since I've been there, but a couple of us went up to judge at the National Homebrew Competition first round for a long weekend and had a good time sampling all of the local brews. Great Lakes is very good and still unavailable in DC/VA/MD.

Hop head aye? Your best bet is going to be the Shipyard IPA usually on at the Tap Room. They contract brew at Shipyard.

Cheers, RickG

Hi I take about 15 ft of rope tie a loop in one end and tie it to the boat before I get out so the loop is just under the water to use as a step for getting back in.
