Glad you got to put a TR together! Nice quick job! Whale watching sounds awesome - I should have done that and W&A. Good to know about HH near Chabad.

It was pretty awesome! I'm happy we were in a big catamaran instead of one of those tiny rafts.

looks like we were there at the same time! i tried to get an upgrade and the front desk said that there was a dental conference and they were pretty much booked (was able to get a junior suite but it was a non renovated room)

Cool..it wasn't a huge conference. there was another conference that looked much bigger at the same time.
