I'm on vacation and I'm not diving. This sucks! I'll never do it again.
Love you all,
I will respond to all unanswered emails on Thursday night.

Why did you plan a vacation where you can't dive?
And since you're supposed to help recommend destinations to us, maybe you should have kept that info to yourself?

Punky - A bad day of vacation always beats a good day at work.I'm on vacation and I'm not diving. This sucks! I'll never do it again.
Enjoy the time off and suck in the sea air. The time away from diving will make you appreciate it all the more. At least you get a buffet, casino, maid service and nightlife while the rest of us get reports, memorandum and phone calls from irate suppliers all day...
Remember, email is an inefficient communications forum. You may not read things the way it was intended. Give people the benefit of the doubt before firing back... Especially if it is ME...!

Kind of like partying in a bad Nebraska Hotel bar, huh? I will never do one again either (unless it is a Windjammer cruise!).

It was a trip with my girlie friends to celebrate our 50th birthdays! Not all of them were divers.
I didn't know recommending destinations was part of my job. So if it is, don't go on a cruise!

To be honest with you, I would have preferred to be back in the office, instead of wasting the vacation time.

Yes we did tear up the dance floor some, but that only goes so far. You get tired of the bars and the casino after 5 days, and the entertainment wasn't that good. The time on shore was too short and rushed.

I did a cruise a few years back and actually dove in Belize, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel during those respective days. The dive shop picked us up at the cruise ship, we took off from there, dove 2 dives, then the dive boat took us straight back to the cruise ship.
Yes, I agree the rest of the cruise was a bit boring after a few days, but on those non-dive days, I just laid out on our balcony, read a book and listened to music.
So I enjoyed the experience

50 huh? Never would have guessed it!
Glad you survived the cruise, I think I would have a tough time with one also.

OK as someone who has limited vacation time available, THAT I can understand.To be honest with you, I would have preferred to be back in the office, instead of wasting the vacation time.
Sorry kiddo.
