- Would you believe it cost us $55 to FedEx Oliver’s Bahamas doggie permit docs from Naples to Nassau? Kinda expensive considering it was 4 single sheets of paper that got mailed, and only $15 for the actual permit. I’m happy to report that his paperwork has been *officially* delivered in Nassau. I suppose the “tracking” peace of mind is worth the price?
- We’re really rockin and rollin around here. Lots more smaller boat projects in the works so we can get cruising come January, plus we recently ordered new port lights! Woot woot!
- Speaking of boat projects, it’s probably a good time to update this handy list.
- How do we have multiple “head” (aka bathroom) projects on ^^that list^^ but no line item for the shiny new shower head Jereme just replaced? Figures.
- Changing subjects, I bet the guy who wanted underwear & socks regrets his request. 😉
- And someone please tell me how the heck Christmas is only ONE week away??? This year’s holiday season has unfortunately passed us by without much hoopla (it was our first year sans Christmas tree).
- But we did manage to get our our holiday cards out on time. Yay us.

I know, that video is so great! 🙂 We are working our tails off around here! Hope you guys are doing well! -Kim
If you go back to the Bahamas just mail the forms in – cost less than $2 for first class. There is no point in sending priority which is a lot more money because once it leaves the US tracking is void anyway. Ours got to Nassau in just a couple of days. Getting our permit back was another story 🙂
We’d probably take the cheaper route next time, but I’m kinda nuts like that and wanted to be able to track the envelope. FedEx was able to provide tracking (not sure USPS can)…and surprisingly we already have our permit back! It literally took them 1 day to process. Which was shocking! -Kim
We are doing the exact same thing, leaving Dec. 2014. This is perfect timing as I can prepare and learn from your experiences. Have fun! We sailed around Belize last week on vacation. A blast!
