. . . AND THEY'RE OFF!!
30 MARCH 2013 2:30 A.M.
Much as I'd have liked to have waited for the Party Bus & limo taking TEAM MANTA to O'Hare Airport, I returned home and to bed after bringing Neal to Lisa & Mike Bain's house.
TEAM MANTA has 18 members this trip, many more than usual.
The rest of TEAM MANTA gathers at the Bain Residence . . .
Loading the semi-party bus. Not as big as the previous one; room for dive gear in the back.
Getting tickets & checking bags, 4 a.m.
AND THEY'RE OFF! CONTINUES HERE
