As far as San Juan

Well, not everything goes smoothly. But I guess everything happens for a reason. First of all, sorry to be misleading. There are no issues with our actual travel, yet. We were only supposed to get as far as San Juan today. The problem is that we sprung for the Ritz Carlton overnight with visions of sipping drinks by the pool eagerly anticipating our travels but I am here in the room and Michael is at Best Buy.
Luckily, and this is the everything happens for a reason part, he got a hankering to take some photos of me down on the beach last night. And had it not been for that, he might not have realized that his fancy Nikon camera was malfunctioning until we were in Rwanda trying to get that perfrect gorilla picture. This way he knew last night. Still not a lot of help since Nikon phone support couldn't solve the problem but at least we had the layover here in Puerto Rico and some hope of getting a new camera body tonight. (There would have been NO chance of that happening had we been leaving straight through from Anguilla to Africa.) Even so I'd be feeling much more comfortable if our bazillion calls to Costco, Walmart, and Best Buy and even a professional photographer in San Juan last night and this morning had been more positively informative, but we are hoping that some of the issue was lost in translation and that in person Michael will be more successful in finding what he needs.
Fingers crossed.
