Heading to the Falls

We're eating breakfast and getting ready to head over to Ocho Rios to spend a few hours at Dunns River Falls (http://www.dunnsriverfallsja.com/). It's about a two hour bus ride, so we'll be pulling out at 9 AM.

I want everyone to know that we have a great group of adults on this trip. For all the commendations I given to our kids (deservedly so), I also wanted to let you know that the chaperones have been awesome as well. They have worked hard to ensure the safety of all of the kids, but have also been able to sit back and allow the kids to be at the center of the trip.

The chaperones have endured the same challenging conditions at times and have handled it all in stride. I have had a great time getting to know PT, Rob Dilbone, Terry Tomlin, and Ron Bennett better during this trip. I've know these guys for over ten years, but at the same time, I really didn't know them well at all. It was great to get to hang out with them, sitting at the pavillion and laughing together late into the night.

Thanks to everyone who has expressed their appreciation for this blog. It has been great fun to write and share with you our adventure as it has happened. We'll post another update tonight with some final thoughts on the trip as well as today's falls expedition.

Tomorrow morning, we leave early for the airport. I can't e-mail an update from my phone in Kingston, but we'll send one final update to the blog when we land in Fort Lauderdale to let everyone know we arrived safely and to provide an estimated time of arrival back in Gainesville.

Now, to the falls....
