Fun and games


Coban marked the end of our Central America stint. From the caving and rock climbing fun of Coban we headed back to Guatemala Cty for a flight to Miami, picked up a car, and drove across the interstate (known as Alligator Alley for the numerous alligators that cruise the canals beside the road and emerge to sunbake) to the Naples Beach Hotel, to celebrate the Hightowers' wedding.

Needless to say, this was great fun. Wednesday consisted of settling in, a meet and greet party by the pool and an impromptu final bucks night for HT. Thursday was a beautiful day for a round of somewhat hung-over golf and some poking around Olde Naples. Friday was the big day. The wedding was spectacular and the reception was great fun. Saturday was recovery day, with a sunset cruise out into the gulf to say goodbye to the gang.

It was a fantastic few days catching up with Andrew and Tara and some of the old Minters gang, as well as meeting more of the Benson circle. We had a great time, and hopefully will catch up with the newly weds in Hong Kong later in the year.


Wednesday night... last chance, ladies.


Another beautiful day.


The big day arrives...


...in a beautiful spot.


The boys party...


...while the happy couple do their (much more photogenic) thing.

Thanks for the great times all!
