Countdown to Bonaire

[jepuskar]

Air Jamaica mon.

ScubaSky, luckily my video setup lets me take 1024 X 768 digital stills also. I just need to remember to use it...I get all wrapped up with shooting video.

The part that sucks is if I go back and take stills of the video the res drops significantly.

George, do you remember if any dive masters named Pepe or Laura were at Divi? They were there in March, and I am hoping they are still there. Also, what about Surge? Is he still the Dive Shop Manager?

Keep your paws off my pet parrot fish.

You know he is very rare and hard to find around any reef.

Have a good trip........

10 days, but who is counting.

I am actually setting up some dives on the East side, which I am excited about...sharks, rays, etc over there.

It is good to break up the norm.

I'm lovin' the big count down...very cute.

Was just complaining tonight at work, that I need a vacation. I think every month - a 7 to 10 day trip would be good. My partner in crime, at work, said I'm burned out...she's right.

Sounds like you're going to be there exactly one week b4 I go. We're staying at the Lions Dive, where are you staying?

We'll be staying at the Divi Flamingo. 8 more days and it is going by fast actually.

I got all my video and lighting stuff all ready, I promise to post a trip report and pics on my website, and also some video clips.

Diving trips are funny.

There is the pre-trip anticipation which can be exciting and nerve racking.

There is the actual trip which is the best part.

Then there is the post-trip depression mode, although you have great memories, the fact that your back is depressing. Telling all your friends and sharing pics is cool though.

I get acused of being "dive crazy" because I like to plan for the next trip when I am on the current one. It's just so depressing coming home and not being in the water- that's why I lurk on this board for so long- living vicariously through other peoples dives.

I will think of you in Bonaire- I've been back for five weeks now, and have to wait another eight months before I go back.!!!

I am soo freakin excited right now it is pathetic. I almost have anxiety because of it. I'm all packed and set to go....I know I packed everything because when I look around my room there is no dive stuff.

I just have to work Thursday and come home and wait for the limo to pick us up...and off to the hotel we go. We have a 6am flight Friday morning and O'Hare is an hour away, so we are staying up there for the night....can you tell I am excited?

This is soo awesome. I keep thinking of the water and all the different sites. I can't wait to dive the East side, I am hoping to get my first encounter with a shark and some other large crap.

I wonder if some of the resort/dive crew are still there at Divi since Feb. I am sure they will remember me, I tend to leave lasting impressions with people. Lets see, we got Surge, Pepe, Laurel, Carlos, Aimee, Hubert, and Atiem. Scubafishee knows what I am talking about!!

I have a bad feeling that I am going to get bent on this trip. I'm gonna dive my arse off, it just might happen. Extra long safety stops and real slow ascents, that is the ticket. Stay hydrated and no sex in between dives, I hope the donkeys cooperate..right O-ring?

Ok, well....I'm signing off for awhile. I'll post a trip report with video/pics on my website when I get back for those who care. I try to make trip reports interesting....check out my last Bonaire report... http://www.scubaboard.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23855

Later,
