We&#8217;re up fairly early and gathering up all our gear from all over the condo and trying to get it to go back into the suitcases.

Then at 9am we have an appointment for our &#8220;free&#8221; 8&#215;10 photo from the onsite photographer. An hour later we&#8217;re the proud owners of over a hundred pictures of &#8220;us&#8221;, and I was the one who caved and bought the full package! Shirley just looked so good, I couldn&#8217;t resist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"Happy Together\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/44072178@N00\/8694796254\/\"><img
