Well, I started working out the logistics for the CC gathering now that we are closing in on a this trip that myself and the Puerto Rican Princess are really looking forward to. We have reserved the Heritage House for a full 7 days to include the gathering as well a a couple of days before and after to know what it feels like to live every day like Island Trader if only for a week.
Anyway, I decided to take a look at Google Earth and route out our travel and plan location based activities for the duration. I also was doing recon on the key as well to see where to park the truck and trailer and how convenient it would be to jump in the truck to go for supplies, fuel, ice, etc. When I started to pan out from the cottage I was having a hard time finding the roads connected to the key. It didn't take long to figure out that the "key" was a non-connected island to which the only access was via water only! For me this is a non-issue. I regularly spend time offshore for over a week and can pack everything I could possibly need in a single duffle and a couple bags of groceries.... Melissa however is a logistical junky and cannot do a 3 nite business trip without two full check suitcases and a carry on. I debated at first to delay informing her of the slight change in conventional on location travel logistics but I chickened out told her the truck would not be errr need where we would be staying. Needless to say she at first was second guessing my choice of accommodations but has now started the "list" of supplies that will be required for her to be stranded on a deserted island for a week. Oh the horror of it all!
