welp i did it. it was amazing. i am addicted and can't wait until the next one. here are some highlights. we left school and 10 minutes later jumped right on a plane that our friends had charted. the plane might have been small but we had a professional as a pilot and they supplied us with flotation devices so on our way we went we packed ourselves in a car - 5 people, 10 bags of luggage, 20 wheels and 5 bikes - all in a ford taurus race day came and we got all set up 5 of us from abaco after the race we helped with the kids iron man and then we drove around to look at the damage from wilma we went to the awards ceremony at night - rhonda took first place in our age range and dale took first place overall - it was a proud night for abaco. and on our way home we went to green beans that had been left in the pot since halloween - so gross...but very picture worthy.
