Great News.......

The Cash Box Kings got booked for the Blues Festival in Lucerne, Switzerland. They actually signed the contract already so it's a sure thing. The festival pays for all the accommodations even for the wives. :) :) :) So in November we get to go to Switzerland for 10 days for free!!! We are soooooo excited!

We are moving to a new apartment April 1st. It has a deck on the ocean and a pool. I am very excited. We will be able to watch the sunset every night at home. It also has a gym, so I am looking forward to using that. We haven't started the Navy Seal Training back up. It was really hard and a pretty big time commitment. So we aren't as skinny as we were. But we are working on it. We have also both started Zyban this week to help us quit smoking. Cross your fingers that it works!!!

Trent, Jean, and Jerry are here. They are having a blast. They arrived last Thursday. On Friday, Travis took them to the beach all day and I met them after work.

Saturday, we took a ride on a glass bottom boat. It was really neat. They took us over two ship wrecks and we saw millions of fish. Saturday afternoon we drove to the East end of the island. We had never gone over there so it was a new experience for us too. We found a great lunch spot on the beach that I am sure we will go back to.

On Sunday, we went to Sting Ray City. We all got in, but after the sting rays started coming near us, Trent changed his mind and headed back to the boat. I was just proud of him for getting in the water at all. I was very scared my first time too. Jean and Jerry grabbed squid to feed them right away. Apparently, the one Jerry fed was especially hungry. They don't have teeth, but it sucked his hand so hard, that it drew blood. It definitely topped the little hickey my mom got. After visiting the sting rays, the boat took us to snorkel in the Coral Gardens. Trent just loved it. He is a real pro. You wouldn't believe that a 7 year old would float around for hours staring at fish. He clears his snorkel and mask all by himself when water gets in it. It's the cutest thing. We did have to head back to the boat when he spotted a hungry sting ray below us. But for a kid from the Midwest, in a huge ocean, he's pretty fearless. He has to be 10 to get a Jr. scuba certification, but he's talking about it already.

Monday, I took work off and drove the crew to Rum Point. We spent the day at the beach and had a picnic. The weather has been so nice for them. Not that it's ever bad, but we haven't had any rain, and very few clouds. They are all getting nice tans.

We have some tentative plans for this weekend. Travis and I both have off of work on Friday and Monday for Easter. So we will find something to entertain them. I will write next week and let you know.

Not much else to report. I am looking forward to settling in to our new place (that, by the way, has a second bedroom for guests....hint....hint...) and getting into a normal routine. We haven't really "settled" because we knew we were moving soon. So it will be nice not to sleep on two twin beds pushed together anymore! I will try to post pictures of the new place and the view once we get a good Internet connection in April. I have tried every night since my parents left to post pictures and it take so long, that it errors. So hopefully I can get a bunch of pics posted in April. Sorry for the delay.

We are starting Scuba lessons on Sunday. So we should be certified by the time we move. I am really nervous, but excited too. It is a lot of studying and a couple full days of training. We are hoping to travel to one of the other smaller Cayman Islands in May because the scuba is suppose to be amazing there. We will have to see how the course goes first.

Hope all is well!
