Dave...

Was the mileage checked via the new road, or was this on the old,
meandering road?

It was indeed prior to the road being redone

Its not only faster now, but a few miles shorter.

Okay, I'll take your word for it. Personally, I plan never to take the road
unless there's no other way! smile I much prefer the flight on TimAir --14
minutes from takeoff role to touchdown.

When I was driving it myself for the past few years, I always took a left
at Reading, and headed over through Anchovy and Montpelier, and then through
Sav and on into Negril, around the roundabout and out to Firefly, about a
mile before Hedo.

Again, you know more about that than I do, so even though it sounds like it
would be further, I'll take your word for it.

Time is now a lot faster on the new road, and I can make it airport to
Negril in an hour without stops, but what's the fun in that! Gotta test
drive the Red Stripes and Patties, to make sure they are keeping the quality
up!

Smile You do that, Dave, I'm sure folks will rely on you to keep the
quality at its highest point!

P.S.- good to hear from you again. Been a while since the old CompuServe
board.

BTW- the Revival school is now in a new building, but still crowded and
needs materials. Next time you head down, make sure to bring extra pencils
and paper and crayons and stuff. Sadie is no longer the principal, she
retired, and Mrs. Campbell has taken her place. Well worth the trip.

I've only visited Revival All Age School one time -- tore my heart out to
see the conditions there. I had heard that the school had a new building
for the older students, but that the young ones were sill where we saw them.
sigh
