Got on the van with Natalie and Scott and made it to the airport on time. When I got to the check-in counter Jasper and a few others were there waiting for some security stuff to go through. I checked in and went up to the business lounge. Several others were there already. In total, we had about ten people on this flight. It was a fast flight, going in we flew next to the island and got a great view. The waters a very still I may schedule an island tour this week than sails around the whole island. At the meet & greet our representative from FCM was there to meet us. Dan and I were the only two going to the Inner Continental. At the check in I had to pay for the two extra nights. They gave me an upgraded room but no access to the club lounge. Oh well no biggie. I got situated then walked over to the Bay Street mall to look for a iPod Touch. The one electronics did not have one. The guy said to try Silema. It was about noon so I went up to the HRC for a burger and a beer. Went back to the hotel and changed to my shorts and a t-shirt. I decided to walk to Silema instead of taking the bus. The weather was nice, not too hot with a nice breeze. I arrived at the Silema waterfront and started looking for electronic gadget shops. The store where I purchased my little speakers last time was closed. I went up to the next one and they did not have the Touch. The clerk gave me a few suggestions. I walked up the hill into a Vodafone store (a cell phone company like Verizon or AT&T) just in case they sold MP3 players. And tada! They had them. Now get this, the price was only €270. Way cool!! Not only did I find it, but the price was not inflated. With iPod in hand, I walk back to the hotel and started to play. I took me nearly three hours to get one song loaded. I was trying to avoid using iTunes. The one software I downloaded would not work so I downloaded iTunes, which took forever. Then iTunes did not work. I had to load an update to the OS on the iPod. While waiting I called Jasper to see were we were meeting tonight, he said at the bar in the Westin. I finally have everything loaded. I copied a few albums over and now they are on the iPod. Tomorrow I will need to continue searching for an alternative to iTunes. Walked over to the Westin, it ended up being just four of us, Jasper, Dan, Juan and I. We went to Buffalo Bills for dinner. I texted Tracy to say hi and again to tell her the nightly email will be late. We all ordered steak and had two bottles of wine. Then we went walking and ended up at bar with outdoor sitting for a few pints and more good times. Went to another spot for girlie drinks and desert. I think I got in around 2AM. I started to write Tracy but way too tiered.
