Caribb-LEM: who's going?

[neutrino]

Dan,

Yes you do need the ESTA as you are traveling through the USA.

The hotel is $44 for one person from what I remember this includes breakfast and transport from the airport to the hotel (probably around $20 for a taxi). So all in all a pretty good deal.

If everyone is staying at the hotel for the night then I can just get the bus to go straight there to pick everyone up.

Yes, you only need to bring US$, smaller bills are better. Make sure they have no rips. We can change in to local currency for you but most places accept them but may not give such a favourable rate. On small purchases this is pretty insignificant.

Cheers
Rich

Hey Dan;

The hotel rates are very reasonable. Go to their website (linked above) and check it out. It's like $45 for one person or $66 for two. That includes breakfast.

My flight arrives on Friday at 2:20 in the afternoon. So Marie and I will also need to hang out until Saturday at 11 when the bus comes to take us to the port. (Actually, I think the bus has to come a good bit earlier, since the ferry leaves at 11...) I figured for an extra $66, it was worth getting a hotel room vs trying to sleep in an airport!

Hey Rick - got any good suggestions for food near the airport or near the hotel? Or better yet, would it be feasible for you and/or Sara to join us? Just a thought...

YEAH its almost time to go! Any word on equipment that will already be their and who is taking what?

[Bradfo69]

Well, my staff is trying to push for this to happen so we'll see. I just got blindsided with a totally unexpected $5,000 tuition bill today though so, things are still in a bit of a turmoil.

Dan, I have reserved you a room. Just send us and email when you are ready and Sarah will get back to you with the details we need.

Adam, no not really. There is a Wendy's at the airport. To be honest I always eat at the hotel. The food is surprisingly good either in the restaurant or via room service. Very well priced to.
I thought about coming up to meet you all at the hotel but not sure if it fits with what I have going on at the resort. I am trying though!!

Brad, I wish my staff would try and send me on a vacation!! Ha ha, I hope you do get to make it.

Ragdoll, Here is the equipment I have on site
1x 2W RGB
2x 1W Blue
2x 1.5W RB (almost complete)
2x FB3
1x QM2000 intro
1x mini smoke machine (I can get my hands on a bigger one if needed)

Cheers
Rich

Thanks Rich,
As soon as I've cleared this weeks work; I'm on it.

Re: Bringing stuff...
I'm not going to bring any projectors unfortunately (or any other exotic gas, CuBr, or LSCP's), the cost and insurance is too high.
I can bring a QM.NET Pro + an FB3 if it can be of use?

[neutrino]

Sounds great Dan.

Lets see what other gear may be coming to see if we need extra controllers.

Cheers
Rich
