REMINDER FOR TRAVEL COMFORT!!!

Do not drink too much before you leave on Saturday.  If you have a problem with certain foods, DON'T eat them on Friday evening.  We would like to keep the stops to a minimum.  To make it to Bayview in 11 hours, we can only stop for a 30 minute lunch and fuel break in San Antonio with short bathroom/comfort stops as we stop for fuel.  The bus and vehicle drivers will control the number of stops needed for fuel, etc., by cell phone communication; cell phone numbers should be exchanged before leaving.
