Celebrate Carrie’s Fiftieth Birthday on Anguilla!
UPDATE: Flight information
As mentioned below we are leaving and returning from Teterboro airport. The terminal (“FBO” - as they say) is:
Signature Aviation
Teterboro East Terminal
200 Fred Wehran Drive
Teterboro, New Jersey
NOTE: There are three(!) different Signature FBOs at Teterboro so use the address above for the correct terminal.
There is parking at the FBO.
WHEELS UP TIME: 9:00am Please arrive 30 minutes before departure. That’s right, not two hours, not three hours! Pack all the liquids you want!
DON’T FORGET YOUR PASSPORT!
To access the facility you give the aircraft tail number to security at the gate. The tail number is N91MS. We’re standing by for you!
We will be leaving Anguilla at 11am on Tuesday, March 26th. We will be back at Teterboro at 3:18pm.
A Message from the Birthday Girl:
Dearest people to me,
Thank you for being there for me all these years; all these years that don’t seem possible to be passing by so quickly. It’s now almost 2024, and some of us haven’t been together in over a year or more, even if it feels like yesterday - it wasn’t! You are so present in my heart and how I think about you so often for inspiration, laugh at our crazy times, and wonder how in the world we have made it this point given those crazy times! My biggest wish to celebrate walking around the sun for a half-century would be to spend some time together, connect with you more frequently and to tell you how important each of you are to me (ok that’s 3 wishes but..). So, whether the timing of this one celebration works for you or not given all the hectic schedules, let’s plan some time to celebrate:) For folks who have an opening in March, let’s get our Island on! Love you all and so looking forward to seeing each of you whenever possible.
Love, Carrie
A Message from the Host:
We are so happy to invite you to (Carrie’s version of) paradise to enjoy some sun, sand, surf, reggae, food, drinks, good people, …. Oh and a Birthday! We will get you down to paradise and have a place to rest (if you don’t just end up sleeping on the beach!), but we please need your HELP with the following:
HELP - Things You Have to Do
Carrie is providing the hotel, transportation and some fabulous meals and activities, but you still have to do a few things:
1. Block out the dates March 22-26.
2. IMPORTANT - To reserve a seat on the private jet you must tell Carrie your passport info and weight(!).
3. Arrange transportation to Teterboro Airport on March 22.
NOTE: We have switched the aircraft operator so the departure/return airport is now Teterboro in New Jersey.
- More to come on this - Terminal (“FBO”) and tail number (needed to enter FBO) to be announced. If there is a NYC crew maybe we will Sprinter over together?
4. Check back on this site for updates
This is party central.
Carrie will continue to put (or ask me to put) fun tidbits of the Anguilla excursions you can opt into, if you are able to get out of the gorgeous water!
