It was super easy. GA ramp, FBO lady filled out ONE gendec (based on the ones we had already filled out), looked at pilots license, made some copies, and we were on our way. Nothing more.

Apparently Rosie insisted on getting his passport stamped, which was completely unnecessary here, so he waited around for a while, while they found a stamp.

Funny.

Scott, I'm already looking forward to Friday when you guys form up and take off for your next destination.

Day 7 marks the completion of our first week of vacation. Everything I planned to do in the original announcement has happened but here is the recap:

Day 1: Fly to the DFW area
Day 2: Eat at the Hard 8 BBQ
Day 3: Fly to Memphis to eat at Central BBQ, then fly to Anderson (SC) to watch Team Aerodynamix then fly to Gold Hills (NC) to stay at Kahuna's place
Day 4: Fly to Louisville (GA) to eat with Jenny & (VAFer) Pierre Smith along with Gary 'Condor' Sobek then into Cleawater (FL) to stay with friends
Day 5: Fly to the Keys with the group, have lunch then back to Homestead (FL)
Day 6: Fly to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic)
Day 7: Enjoy a full day in Punta Cana
Day 8: Same as Day 7

I'm not walking around with a camera but was able to grab it for a few pics that I think you will enjoy:

Default Day 7: Punta Cana

The Beach Bar is the official 'meet and greet' for the group to find each other when you have no other plans...









Time out...something broke on the floor.....







These two (2) photos are for my friend Jim Piavis because he asked, "What's in the dive bag?":





Belle had a waterproof camera with her today, and what you don't see are the waterpark pictures that she and Taco took of what I thought would be a 'few minutes' at the waterpark...turned into hours.

Default Day 7: Punta Cana

Here are the pictures of the Memories Waterpark, a short walk from the Royalton Punta Cana. Our wristband allowed access to the Waterpark. I'm 55 years old and NEVER have been to a waterpark...WHAT A BLAST!:

The lovely Diane West:





Here comes Rosie!











Rosie and new new buddy Eddy! Eddy kept us 'safe' way up there in the towers...and also is a good conversationalist ;-)






Keep poundin' them rivets because it's ALL worth it! Rosie & Tuppergal

The first thing I do, every morning when I wake up, is reading your updates on the journey while having my breakfast (I'm in Italy), so a big THANK YOU for doing this and make me dreaming, Rosie!

Thanks for making my day Ettore!!!! Rosie
