What's your destination?

The cruise hit Half Moon Cay, St. Maarten, Tortola and Nassau. It was amazing, I hope you have similar weather!

I saw both too, exactly. I saw a guy do a set with an Epi SG and it sounded great.

So the end to the plane story is, I didn't think of one thing ... always take the battery out before flying. Not because it's going to explode or anything, but because when I picked it up in Florida, I immediately noticed something very noisy ratting around inside. Upon closer inspection, the battery had popped out of its clip (I initially thought the pickup had fallen and nearly crapped myself). But that means it obviously took a really good jolt at some point, or the TSA inspectors took it out to look underneath and didn't put it back in the clip right. Either way, wouldn't have been a problem if I had packed the battery separately.

Good news though ... it wasn't damp after the 2nd flight. :D

So how was the gig? Did the passengers dig it? Did the cruise line treat you right?

The cruise line definitely treated us well, we even had a separate VIP dining area. And the people on the cruise had a great time - there were several musical acts. This gig was a lot of fun!

I took this pic at a beach on Tortola: :)

:oops: that was the first song in our setlist. At least they didn't put 'Sea of Love' in there. :lol:
