Up by 6:30am, down in the lobby just after 7:00am, surprised to see firetrucks and firemen outside the lobby window. They were checking out the smoke in the Subway restaurant across from the hotel. By 7:35am we were at the WestJet check-in kiosks in the departure level of Terminal 3, by 8:30am we were sitting in a restaurant in the departure area near our gate having breakfast. Just after 11:00am we were taxing down the run way (a half hour late as we had to wait for crew that were flying in). Finally on our way --- this vacation is real after all.

I think this is Mississauga from the air.

Landed.

On the taxi ride to the house where we are staying, we drove through a lot of large pond like puddles. The driver said it had been raining on and off all day.

Settled in about to enjoy rum punch.

We are in Providenciales (or Provo) in the Turks and Caicos Islands, a little east of Cuba. Friends own a house here that they rent out to vacationers. We're getting to stay here in exchange for doing a few jobs to get the place ready for renters.

Here's some photos of the house.
