============================================

     Restaurant Campestre Triny recommends that you park around the corner from
or behind Fayla's Grocery when you visit the restaurant. This is the former "Lake Los
Barriles" area that is being transformed into a wonderful community park. Cars
are no longer able to reach the park area from the driveway just north of Campestre Triny.
     Restaurant Campestre Triny will be closed December 24 and 25th so the staff can
celebrate Christmas with their families. But stay tuned for the great New
Year's Eve dinner and party announcement. The former entrance to "Lake Los
Barriles" will be magically transformed into a big dance floor where you will be
able to dance the night away to music of the 60's, 70's and 80's. And you can
look forward to starting New Year's Day in authentic Mexican style by soothing
your aching feet (and head) with Pozole and Menudo. More details to
come....so mark your calendars and your dance cards.
=======================================

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS

a. For the person inquiring about long term storage, Anchor Storage is located at the airport. They are secure, individual storage units. Their number is:624-172-2319. I have only used them for parking so I have no idea what their storage rates are, but their parking fees are extremely reasonable and they are very dependable.

** Fellow Fisherman
I mistakenly ordered two garmin Etrex venture hand held GPS units from Best buy, when I only wanted one. The price shipped to my home was 152.24 clams. These are top of the line GPS units and small enough so they are perfect for taking on the your boat.
Thought I would see if anyone wants one before I send it back. If so I will bring it down with me on Dec 29.
First reply gets it.
