Actually, I now note that the post-dive massage and sunscreen application are listed as "Optional"....Who gets to decide regarding these options - the winner or Shadragon? I think that the massage should be guaranteed!

Well I will be on at least two trips with Mr. McDreamy so I officially start the bidding at $10. Shadragon is worth at least a '10' in my book! :blush:

I left this point deliberately vague... If the winning bidder has a significant other then there is wiggle room to get out of it. If not, then release the hounds. However, in the end, everything is negotiable... :lmao:
