Joey - we just decided to head to SI tomorrow and stay over as the funeral mass is at 9AM Saturday morning.    It&#39;s making me crazy to pay the hotel prices on SI.   They only have 2 hotels on the island (other than the hourly ones which you wouldn&#39;t stay in if you life depended on it) and the prices they are asking are obscene.   If the wake on Friday is 7 - 9 that wouldn&#39;t get us home til after 11 and then on the road again before sunrise.  To top it all off the 2 hotels are right next to the expressway in the middle of nowhere.   <br /><br />Andrea - so sorry Rose is sick with a fever again.   Whatever bug she caught sure is hanging in there.   Enjoy Caillou.   <br /><br />James - I agree with you - packing is fun - it&#39;s the unpacking  after the cruise that&#39;s the pits.
