Atlantic City, NJ (USA)

[up early again - breakfast in hotel - departed earlier (0745) with Sabrina and Kristin - while getting setup, there was some conflict among the group members - the day then devolved into a frustrating series of arguments (I was not personally involved, thankfully) - despite this, we accomplished a great deal - had lunch at a nearby Thai Restaurant (good) - finished up a little earlier (1630) and then went to watch volleyball (Bill and Kait were playing) - it was pretty hot - rode back to the hotel with Joseph and had dinner (lasagna) in the lobby - I had seen a sign for a free shuttle to Margaritaville and decided to go (Sabrina came with me) - it was a big bus (probably could hold about 70 people) and it stopped at all the hotels along the Blackhorse Pike - when we arrived at the "Resort" (2000), we found several Jimmy Buffett homage sites: "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" bar, "Landshark Cafe" and the signature bar - we called Bill and he eventually joined us - the drinks were all Buffett-song themed and it was nice to relax with his music - before we knew it, it was already past 2230 - we walked across the Boardwalk to the Landshark Cafe and Bill and Sabrina ordered some food (I got some pretzel sticks) - we didn't leave until almost 0100 - when we got back to the hotel, I was exhausted and fell right to sleep]
