4 days before we leave

The excitement has reached a fevered pitch. The forms are in, the clothes are purchased, the instructions have been given to each of us over and over again, and most of us have started to pack. We have to be at the airport on Sunday morning at 5am which is really 4am because the clocks change that day. We will arrive at Fort Lauderdale airport just after 10am, rent the vans and begin the drive to Marathon in the Keys. The drive will take longer than the plane ride. With seven of us and all our luggage packed together in each van it will be a tight ride, but we are all thrilled and looking forward to the full experience.
