Well, if you're stuck somewhere Ocean World

is not the worst. We have been fighting with FedEx and Electronics Unlimited over the auto pilot ram for days. It was suppose to ship last Friday. The FedEx paperwork was generated but no one picked up the package. The tracking number was telling FedEx that it was shipped but we kept telling them that it was still sitting in the wearhouse. No one would listen. Finely last night it shipped at 9PM. It's in Puerto Rico now with a Wednesday arrival in Puerto Platta. If we get it Wednesday we can still make the pick up of the wives on time. The thing is, as much as this thing has been screwed up we're liable to end up with someones last year's Christmas present. We were thinking about having a CPT Wheel Pilot sent to one of the girls and have them hand carry it into the T@K but that would mean we would have to hand steer for 150 miles. We rented a car and did the sight seeing thing for two days so it hasn't been that bad. We should be out of here in the next few days one way or the other. It sounds like you guys are having a pretty good time. The only shocker here was the price of beer. $35.00 US for a case. Thirty five dollars for beer and less then ten bucks for a good bottle of rum. Guess what we're drinking. Are you going to keep moving or are you going to hang out any where?

Just got the news that the Ram is here on the island. The bad news is that we can't get it out of customs until Thursday! It just keeps getting better and better.... The girls will just have to stay in a hotel on the beach for a day or two until we arrive. The weather is suppose to get better and better so we have that going for us. We believe in Jesus also.
