The Happenings in the Bowen World

So Excited!!! In about 18 hours Heather and I will embark on our long delayed MiniMoon "Honeymoon." Our cruise departs from Port Canaveral, Florida and we can't wait!

How is the Ecuadorian Visa process going, you ask? We just discovered that our police background checks we have submitted are not going to work. It is going to cost us another $50 each plus expedited shipping. The FBI direct report is taking about 3 months to get back. Therefore, we have to use a Channeler to complete it in time for us to leave the first of April.

Lots happening around here! We will post lots of photos & details of the cruise when we get home. And we will keep updating the details of this never ending paper trail that this Visa is causing.

Please share comments and ask questions if anyone has any.

The Bowen Knot - Shamrock Rating System

One Shamrock: This indicates the worst service possible. If awarded, it means we would never EVER use the service again. If it was a food establishment the food was barely editable. This means a complete fail with little to no redeeming features. We will never go there ever again.

Two Shamrocks: This is a service that we might consider using again to give it a second chance. But, the experience that we had would normally cause us to award one shamrock if not for some key redeeming features. If it was a food establishment the food was okay, but still sub-par. We didn't like the food. Serious room for improvement exists.

Three Shamrocks: Normal middle of the road service. We might have had some bad or some good but they were offset somewhat. This is service we would use again but we will look for a better provider. If it was a food establishment the food was good. We like it and will return. There might be room for things to get better but it is still a decent meal.

Four Shamrocks: Great service. This is a definitive repeat for us. We like a lot about the service and recommend it. If it was a food establishment the food was excellent. We liked it a lot. We like the place enough to return frequently. There are very few detractors.

Five Shamrocks: Outstanding service. This is service that treats us above and beyond what we think we deserve. We consider this what we would want to find all the time and what we hope all service providers would want to obtain. If it was a food establishment the food was perfect. No issues whatsoever. We loved it and would eat there everyday.
