Museum is open tomorrow so will call to arrange final payment. If I need to pay in advance for everyone I will pay those who have paid and for those who are on the final list in the main thread. If you aren't joining us anymore i.e. penguin PLEASE let us know!

IF they will allow payment at the door...we'll let you know that as well!

Hi All
I'm not going to be able to make the February Happy Hour after all. I got an almost last minute opportuinity to fly down to Key Largo to dive so I will be out of town. Tear it up and I'll see and meet everyone in March at BTS.

Kamala---I had it in there......Still about as sharp as a marble tonight, but at least I had this one taken care of. I'll be in the Keys. Maybe when i come back I will have the ability to pull everything back together!!! LOL

I am back from my dive trip to Anilao, Philippines... had a great time and saw some great fishies, and critters.

Please post a trip report, Robin! I'm seriously looking at the Philippines for my first *exotic* dive holiday so I'd love some current feedback.

OK Annasea, I promise I will post a trip report, however it will be in a few days... just returned yesterday, had full day at work today and for rest of week must catch up on everything.
Trip was great, nice sunny weather, great food and catching up with some Filipino friends. I have the best guide in Anilao!
We found some great subjects ... Ambon Scorpionfish, three baby frogfish, ghost pipefish, gorlocks and beautiful crabs all on the same dive! Aside from the water being a wee bit cool (75 degrees on most sites) I could not ask for more! Even entered a photo competition.
More to follow.
Already looking for the dates for booking my next year's trip there.... probably last week in February 2008.

I just checked the orignal post and it doesn't mention the address or exact time we are meeting.

I'm in, but I need the details. Thanks.

I believe the plan was to eat after the tour. Otherwise, it's going to be a lunch HH. And if it is, I can't make it. I won't be there for the tour because I have something to do earlier but I planned on meeting for the HH.

The plan is to eat afterwards.

The tour is at 3:15, we should be finished by 4pm. The diner is next door so we can walk over. Even at that time, it will still be an early HH.

I plan to get to the museum a little while before the tour so I can take a look at the museum itself. I may even walk through the sub before the official tour.

I'm not sure you're allowed to do that, but you can try.

UPDATE:

I have a call into the museum to verify our arrangements. As soon as they get back to me I'll post what they say.

I will be prepaying those who have prepaid and those who have not will pay at the door unless the museum asks me to prepay the entire amount which if they do I will. I will let you know as soon as I hear back from them.
