Saw your address and thought I would say hello.

My mom and brother live in Tavernier, mm90, down Plantation Ave toward
the bay from Tavernier Marina. He is on terranova.net, a local Internet
service provider.  Is Earthlink a local call for you? We are on
mindspring and when we visit, we call Miami from Tavernier at $.25 a
call and connect at 50,000+ every time.

Spent a month there in Jan, and later two weeks in Mar.  (I retired last
year.  We have little money, but lots of time, and a stay at mom's is
cheap!)  Actually, it was our shake down cruise in our 85 Westy that we
bought in Feb in Atlanta where we live.  It went well so we went to
Texas, my wife's home state, for 7 weeks in April-May.

Will be in Tavernier next week to help my brother oversee the
installation of a new dock at my mom's place.  We will have some time on
our hands so we may drive around a bit.  I'll keep a look out for the
ocassional VW bus.  What color are yours, so I'll know if it is you?  I
will not be driving the Westy, since I will not be camping and I need to
go cheap.  I'll take my wife's 86 Celica at 39 mpg.

Have another friend on RamRod Key.  Drives a supply boat out of Key West
to Ft Jefferson for the National Park Service.

Take care,

Jim Cain, 85 Westy, Herbie in Atlanta
