First of all, it was great to read your post, Julia, about your trip. (I get very excited when I see that someone besides me posts something!!) I would love to hear more details and see photos.
And, secondly, I feel terrible about the reunion being postponed -- while we don't want to miss it either, we hate for the rest of you to not get together. Believe me, our feelings will not be hurt if you decide that you want to all go to Glacier (or anywhere else).
And, last but not least, Vince finally was able to actually work on Tuesday, or more accurately, be trained for 9 hours straight without a break. The airport was closed soon after he arrived on Saturday due to the hurricane, and didn't re-open until Tuesday. From what he says, it sounds like Gitmo is really another world from all the rules and regulations he is encountering.
My understanding is that the only way you can get to Gitmo is if you have "area clearance" which is obtained by first submitting a copy of your passport info to the commanding officer there. Visitors (or non-residents) are allowed to come to Gitmo, after obtaining the area clearance -- we will have a two bedroom duplex, so we should be able to accommodate guests, and I believe there is also some type of guest housing available.
Vince is going to try to get to the library soon to use a computer and send some updates himself. We'll keep you all updated as things progress.
