I'm glad you finally arrived. Hope you are able to extend your trip eventually.

There is no excuse for what happened in Dayton on the way down. However, for future trips, I think you may want to ditch Dayton altogether. I know it is so convenient to your house, but if something goes wrong, you have zero options to fix it the same day. Perhaps drive to Cincinnati or Columbus and spend the night and leave your car at a hotel there for your stay in SXM?

You're already long gone I guess, but hope you have a good sail.
