I think I have everyone accounted for now. Welcome to the Week 17 craziness Mini Bo Bini, CA Mini and Prometheus! Word to the wise, don't mess with Texas! Those good 'ol boys are staging a full fledged mutiny to get the Carribean Highway rammed straight through Houston and on into Dallas if they can. This just might be the last voyage for that one...

Didn't I see that the Caribbean Highway disappeared from radar last night??
Guess the Klingon cloaking device Bo Bini snagged is working well

I was told that I was docking in Charleston on the 17th too..maybe they changed the schedule and departed two days late (and therefore are arriving two days late)? That's my best guess, anyway, since we know we're not on a WW ship...
And yes, jearl, the table has been INFINITELY useful...I've used it many times to see where everyone else is so I could figure out how panicked I should be or what I should be expecting based on everyone else's timelines. So THANK YOU for keeping it updated!

Well we know that they actually left about an hour early at about 8 PM on 5/4 (Southampton time). I have pictures from the Southampton webcam. (and I didn't hack them to change the date). MINITrekkie - you're sig leads me to believe you are pretty good with graphics programs. I've tried to get the 'bon voyage' photo converted to jpeg, but I'm just not familar enough with GIMP. Would you like a shot at it? I can email what I have.

Sending. You might want to go back and edit out your email address. Cuts down on the spam. And it'll make it harder for 'them' to track those who incited the mutiny of the Caribbean Highway.

Jearl as the Cruise Director for this (CRAZY) but loveable group, you are doing one hell of a job ! But if you contact K-LINE about our take over of the Caribbean Highway, I might have to call Southampton and tell the police about that little thing you did at the dock (2 tipped ROLLS )
)So, while I will not contact the police, I have indeed contacted some of my pirate friends and they will ensure that Caribbean Highway docks in Charleston as planned. Sorry guys...but I have to make sure I get my baby home!!! They will only stop long enough to let Galileo (I finally decided on a name) off, and then they will let the ship travel on to Houston.

Well, I got official confirmation from my MA that I'm on the Caribbean Highway ;-). He said that he still has the arrival date as the 15th, but he also said that his information doesn't get updated often. Don't know where the 17th date that ASK MINI told me came from.

Banjo, where are you? I'm praying that mine comes in to the dealership that weekend because then my parents (who are giving me the car as a graduation/birthday/christmas/birthday/christmas gift) will be in town and can actually be there to pick up the car with me...

I thought I remembered it. The 17th is the date the Patriot makes it to Charleston after stopping off in NYC.
Hey MINITrekkie. I got an idea to get rid of the pirates. First we take one of the Triumph motorcycles and strap two kegs onto it like pontoons. Then we lower the rear RORO ramp down about 30% of the way so it becomes a nice launching ramp. Tie the handlebars & throttle down, up the ramp and out into the Atlantic. The pirates will follow the beer!

Five more day for the MYSTERY SHIP to hit the states, and no one know where she at but her captain. It's time to send out a scout ship to find her, maybe we can pickup some music coming from her.

LOL on that one. Yeah - I'm just hoping that maybe, just maybe, I can pick it up when they're around to see. And maybe drive me the 1-1 1/2 hours to the dealership...
