A free trip is never free...

Received prize forms Mon Dec 18, 2006 from Nadia Granata, contacted Archana to find out if our date might be available and she said yes :). I found out that the airport taxes are $220./person, confirming that there's no such thing as a free lunch. *lol*

I checked tripadvisor.com and was blown away by the resort. It's newly renovated and the positive comments from before the reno are overwhelming. I can't imagine how they could have made it any better. My sis is loaning us her snorkle gear so I'm thrilled with the reports of how clear the water is and how close the reef is. Hubby is thrilled about the golf course.

Tuesday, Dec. 19th... passport office took much less time than expected. There were about 60 people waiting and the staff just zipped right through everyone. I was out of there in 1/2 an hour! It's one of the few gov't offices that had the right number of counter help and the attitudes were wonderful. It cost $117.00/person for the passports. ($30 extra to make sure
they're here in time for the trip... I pick them up Jan. 4th)
