Heading down Wednesday for 16 days. We can’t wait!

Would be nice to have Alexa spitting out songs on the kids favorite channels...

Thanks!

I use Alexa at my place but it was setup there originally. Not sure how well she travels. Do you have her passport updated?

My group in May had Alexa working on their boat, they had WiFi for the trip so I assume that’s all that was needed.

Marine Max. The boat comes with WiFi, so hopefully all will be well with Alexa!

Sometimes the data speed provided by the local carriers is less than perfect, so have reasonable expectations and everything should be great.

In May we brought Alexa to Anegada. No Jason, no passport. We smuggled her in. Our hope was to pick up the wifi from my phone. It did not work out too well. The signal strength on the west end of Anegada is better than in previous years. But still not strong enough.

You will need to apply for a work permit for Alexa. She is a preforming as a DJ and that will require a permit from Labor.

Should be no problem if you have wifi

In addition, she will need a fairly invasive medical exam in the US before she leaves, the blood test upon arrival, a $1000 bond left with immigration, and 4 days upon arrival to complete paperwork. OH, and likely the printer won't be working so expect a few trips back to Labour to get the work permit card printed....

I like where this has gone. Love a good laugh first thing in the morning.
