Since the last blog I have gotten my unserviceable laptop back up and running and have downloaded Google earth and Picassa 2.0 software for picture editing.
Still checking flights regularly from KC to SXM. Have found some flights for as little as $628 including tax but the travel days are long and grueling….starting at around 7:30 AM from MCI and arriving in SXM after 10:00 PM. I know there are better flights for close to the same value so I keep surfing prices.
We are now hard at work on our yearly Pirates and Wenches Halloween costume party. Guest list is just about complete. We are working on additions to our costumes and soon will go buy all the liquor we will need (that should keep the local liquor store happy for a while). We go thru just a bit of rum at these little bashes. I make a pretty potent but good flavored grog. The punch consists of light, medium and dark rum’s (Pyrat rum of course) and Grand Marnier as well as orange, grapefruit and pineapple juices. This makes for an incredibly smooth rum punch (grog) that carries enough wallop to get any buccaneer or wenches attention in a hurry. This is one of those drinks that as long as you continue to drink and stay fairly still all is well but when you move about you realize just how liquored up you have become.
Still have menu items to consider…anyone out there know where I can get some hard-tack?? Will have a rum cake and other items like parrot (chicken) wings and pegs, veggies and lots of other sweets.
We are even looking to make it a bit more interesting, I have a palm reader lined up as well as ideas for some fun….when half crocked….games. Am gathering new music to play that either has a Pirate or escape to the Caribbean theme.
We really want to have a good time but want all to be responsible so we recommend all bring a designated driver or that they stay the night, we want to have fun but we have no intention of getting anyone hurt or in trouble with the local authorities.
