Well my last days of the vacation was good. Matter of fact the whole
vacation was good. I didn't want to come home. On Saturday we dove the
coolest dives. One was on the edge of "the wall" where the bottom drops
off into nothingness. I went my deepest at 89 feet. The maximum a diver
on oxygen can go is 132 feet. We also got to go through a cave. That was
pretty cool. Another dive was near a shipwreck. Unfortunately we didn't
get to go in cause my dive buddy had some ear problems. So we grabbed
hold of this nasty rusty chain and waited for the other divers to come
out, the current was pretty strong. While we were doing so a whole
school of two foot long silver fish swam around us. That was cool. Then
when they got out of the wreck we were ahead of the other divers so I
took the lead a little and got to swim out into the ocean near the coral
with nothing in front of me but a bunch of fish and coral. It was pretty
cool. I felt like an explorer. That Saturday night we went a nightclub
called Senior Frog's and danced. Every 5 minutes they would blow on
these whistles and come around a pour alcohol down everyone's throats.
We declined of course. I do drink, but I just don't want to do it around
her as I think alcohol is a major factor in breakups and causes other
problems. So I avoid it. Anyway we had a good time dancing. Then on
Sunday we went around town and looked at the shops and I took those
pictures. We had lunch with another couple and then were sad to be
leaving the island. The flight was good for me, I had no ear problems,
but there was this kid behind me who kept on kicking the chair, the
whole way. I was truly surprised at how much energy this kid had. He was
like four and kicked the back of my seat continuously and his parents
said nothing. I had my PSP and watched Young Guns on the way back. We
were in Dallas in no time. And so ends my vacation. I am now a scuba
diver. I will probably schedule another trip soon, just so I can go back
and dive. Now I have to concentrate on work. These next 2 months are
going to be a trail, but after scuba diving I'm ready for anything.

island are all short and stubby because of their Mayan ancestry" - some
