Hey y'all!<br><br>Just got back from my overseas hols, with one meal and 17 hours sleep to my name. Good way to overcome Jet lag, that.<br><br>Good to see Sabre wasn't badly hit by Hurricane Charley! I had to spend 3 hours driving through its aftermath to get to my plane home. Ouchie. Actually, I spent 4 days on the cruise ship getting chased by it while it was still Tropical Storm Charley, then we chased it (?!?) as it turned into a hurricane.<br><br>Aside from acting as an amateur Storm Chaser, the holiday was a blast. Went to all the usual Orlando theme parks, then off to the Carribean for kayaking, climbing Dunn's Falls in Jamaica, snorkelling and scuba diving, ruin sightseeing ( Mayan ruins actually are quite interesting ), swimming at Xel ha (weird place. Hot cold hot cold hot cold <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--> ) and playing arcades till my hands bled!<br><br>Then drove back to Florida, into the damage area at first (no air con, power etc sucks) then another house where we just chilled.<br><br>Of course, now I have to figure just how badly my parents are in debt after that <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>So anyhoo! *Waves to the new members* Good to see the mercury scheme's moving apace <!--emo&:P--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... tongue.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tongue.gif' /><!--endemo--><br><br>Hope you all had fun while I was away! *goes to read recent posts*
