Well… it does. A BOTB reader posted this trip report in the comments section of my last Xmas Island post and I wanted to give it more airtime. This is Ray and Glenn’s Excellent Christmas Island Adventure.
I told you it looked awesome.
Looks excellent to me!
Well, I made it to South Andros. I also have a nice cold that is gunking up my lungs and nose pretty well, but I made it and I’m sure a few hours of sleep will get me back to fighting shape for Androsian bonefish tomorrow.
One little surprise I had was that the trip from SFO to Miami turned out to be 1st Class. I book with miles and that was the only fight that got me where I needed to get when I needed to get there. I didn’t realize it was 1st Class. I’ve never sat in 1st Class before. There is a WHOLE lot more leg room up there!
I didn’t get to enjoy the added that much as I was coughing and weezing for a lot of the flight, but thanks to a NyQuil, I was able to get a couple hours of shut-eye. When I got to Nassau I pulled up the only bit of carpeted ground to get some more. Andrew Bennett (owner of Andros South) came and got me to meet the rest of the FIBFest folks and the two paying clients also here this week. In short, it is a great group.
You can follow all the goodness on the Deneki blog.

Tomorrow… the fishing. Needless to say, I can’t wait.
