GBRT : West Indies 2013

Most of us stayed up all night to be able to be on the bus at 2am. The others only got about ten winks. Meanwhile we left party B either asleep or drinking any liquids we had to keave behind.Our transport randomizer managed to surprise us once again. Then we went to Piarco airport,  arriving at 02:50 for an 05:50 departure.  Dealing with the rifles really did eat up most of that time.

We are tired. Very tired. Evidence for this includes DC forgetting to pick up his duty free and Charles 'posing' for various photos that make it look as if he's asleep. Norris (yes the Trinidad team is on our flight too) seems to be full of beans though and has talked his way into business class. We envy our teammates who will awake long after we've arrived in Barbados. They should be on this flight too - there are lots of free seats, despite what we were told that necessitated our splitting the party in two.

Tired, very tired.  My general plan today is: unpack, find pool, slather factor 30 on, fall asleep. If you hear (or read) no further,  assume that's what's happened.

Tired.  Very tired.

Addendum: after some sun drenched rest, some of us watched a turtle lay an egg on our beach, while othera went to pick up Party B (the lucky devils - they were at the hotel less than an hour after landing, vs. Party A's three hours, after dealing with excruciating rifle and especially transport processes). We also got to end the evening with excellent steel band entertainment.
