Packed and On Our Way!!

We are now in Miami, leaving for Santo Domingo in the morning. We filled up the rented truck for the trip to the airport with 10 checked bags, 5 back-packs, 4 carry-ons and one cat carrier! The trip to Miami was pretty uneventful, other than the 90 minutes sitting on the tarmac waiting for the lightening to clear. Lola the boy cat did pretty well on the flight, considering -- only problem was he/she suddenly got quiet and stopped moving about halfway through and I was briefly nervous that we had another animal casualty, but fortunately she had just finally given up the fight and fallen asleep.
We are super-excited for tomorrow. We will post an update as soon as possible from Cabrera, but not sure if we will have internet access anytime soon.
