I'd give it a while to attract some tasty treats

To all that plan on attending. I can be available Wednesday and Thursday,
I'm tied up Friday and Saturday evenings. I had hoped to have a get
together at the house on Friday evening, but it's not to be. I'm planning
on driving to Key Largo Sunday AM, doing the PM dives and heading back north
Sunday night. At present, I don't have anything specific planned for
Monday.

As of the moment, I plan on doing a couple of simple dives with Limey Dave,
Rick and whoever else Dave lines up for Friday AM. That and Sunday on the
Grove are the extent of my planning. If you've got something else going or
want to get something going, diving, drinks, dinner, whatever, and want
company, let me know. You can send messages to pleebell2@bellsouth.net ,
which goes to my spamtrap but, if it says anything about Memorial Day, will
get read anyway or delete the 2 and send it to my real e-mail address.

I missed the original post. We're flying in Friday around noon, probably
not in time to do any diving that day. We're scheduled for morning and
afternoon dives with Splashdown on Saturday, plus we're doing the morning
dives with Silent World before the afternoon Spiegel dives.

Will do, though after a sleepless red-eye and with dives the next morning up
in Boynton, we'll be turning in very early Friday night. I'm sure we can at
least hold out until happy hour, though.

Lee, I will be arriving on Friday. Unfortunately, I had already made
the reservations early, not knowing exactly where everyone was staying
and didn't want to run into possibly not getting a hotel room.

I was originally going to stay in Key Largo the entire time but after
looking at the itinerary, decided to go North.

Next time. You probably saved money.

I left it until two weekends ago to try and book a room for Sat night in KL.
I could only find suites, or places with a 3 night minimum. Good luck on
trying to stay down there. There are at least four of us driving down, and
back to Likkerdale on Sunday.

As of last night that's not looking so good either. I have an appointment on
Friday AM, which only leaves a possible 'Hollywood start' for us to be able
to do Friday. Otherwise, it'll be an afternoon trip unless we shift it to
Thursday, which is dicey for me workwise. Sorry.

We're getting in on Friday afternoon, and staying in DelRay Beach. We
are booked for the morning and afternoon dives on splashdown on
Saturday.

I'll try to call you on friday.
