Greetings,

I hope this update finds everyone well and happy, and into the preparations for the holidays. We are finally at our "home" marina, Monkey Bay Marina, on the Rio Dulce, in Guatemala. We arrived here at midday on Saturday the 20th of December. I hope you were able to follow us on our passage using the link on the Where Is DREAM AWAY page.

I will be getting a more in depth update out later this week, that will cover the passage from Key West to Guatemala. As you can guess it will be a busy week for us, getting settled into the lifestyle here, plus I will be the Santa Clause for the Casa Guatemala Christmas party. This past Sunday and Monday was spent visiting with friends here on the Rio, and getting DREAM AWAY unloaded!

We finally got a good Internet connection yesterday, and I downloaded my email. I had 253 new messages in my inbox because I had not been on the internet since the 11th of December. Please bear with me, as I will get all of the emails answered in the next week or so. I will be splitting my online time between the update for the web page and answering email.

We do hope you all have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

regards,
