Good Evening, Cap'n Rob ~

Many thanks for your kind inquiries ~ we are tired, but in good health, and plan to leave for the Keys in about 18 hours. We will keep your wishes with us on our journey.

Regarding the Parade ~ it is not a short journey, by any means. Last year (or was it 2 years ago? my memory fails me) there was a float provided by the Rum Barrel, however, I am unaware of any arrangements this year. If I recall correctly, the parade lasted at least 2 hours.

Wishing you well, and looking forward to meeting you ~

YHS,

Mary Diamond

Ugh~ So, I'm upstairs, brushing my teeth, finally getting ready to crawl in bed, when I realize what you are going on about. Gave me a bit of a smile, you did ~ before I remembered you really aren't going to be at PiP.

Going to miss you guys ~

I think I can speak for Willie in saying we'll miss you all also. Fair and safe travels and ask for a moment of silence for those of us not able to make it this year, then a volly sounded and a drink or two hoisted. That would put a grand smile on me face.

YHS,

Animal

OH YEAH...... I just thought of something....

We will need a vehicle that can transport swords/machetes and implements of destruction back to the Fort for those wot wants ter carouse afterwards...... (the Key West Police aren't as much fun and easy going bout such things as they were a few years ago...)

As of now, Brig, myself, and our friend Nelly (who will be attending her first ever PiPmas this year) are planning to walk in the parade. And by "walking", I do mean keeping step with the crowd for a few minutes, stopping to drink at one of the many fine bars Key West has to offer, running to catch up again, rinse and repeat. Nothing says "festive" like parades and pirates!

[Mission]

Better yet, go to the bar first and join the pirates in the parade when the pass the bar you're in. (It's a long parade.)

And this is why you're the third twin, Mission.
