Have you just returned from Curacao?

[vox]

I know we've had a lot of SB'ers in Curacao over the past weeks.

I'm leaving for Curacao on Thursday.

Questions for all:

1. In hindsight, is there anything you wish you had brought?
2. If there is one thing you could have changed, what would it be?
3. What was the highlight of your trip?

Thanks for your time and thoughts in advance...

I returned about two weeks ago. Posted a trip report. But to highlight one thing - I had forgotten just how nice a dive Cos Abao was.. Enjoy!

Fabulous time; stayed at the Marriott and dove with the Dive Bus for 3 days. Andy the guide was awesome.

On our last dive we saw 4 young turtles chowing sea grass, a sea horse, a yellow frog fish and a squadron of flying squid in nice formation.

Also had a nice time at dinner with ScubaTexasTony & CheddarChick at Grillin' Joes for fajitas.

Where was your last dive site?

they dove Varsenbaii, aka. police beach. the turtles, seahorses, critters, et. al. are all there now. I missed the fun due to work!

The one regret was I packed nothing but shorts.

Great for the entire time except I wanted to dine at the Astrolab restaurant which is business casual and very elegant. Oh well, next time.

And put some deep woods off on your legs at night. We never really noticed any mosquitos, but man did we come home with a few really nasty bites on our legs. They itch like a ***** and eventually turn into a birth mark looking purple thing the size of quarter and finally fade away completely after 5+ days. Clearly something likes my northern blood...

Yup..bug repellant, you never know until after they bite you, hey code, wanna compare scars????
Loved Piersbaii....Turtles!!!!!

If you need help, The Dive Bus is the best bunch of people I have every had the chance to meet. Escorted dives, pickup & drop off. They take you where you can really find stuff, we saw the seahorse, squid, turtles.!!!!
This is how Scubatexastony is usually found underwater.

Cheddar...I hope you're right. We're doing all of our diving with Mark and Suzy.

Seems like everyone has nothing but good things to say about them.

We leave on Thursday.

Trip report after we return.

Thanks for all the input!
