I hope this makes sense...and I'm sure the instructor would love to talk to you more about Nitrox on the trip! Buy him a beer or three and he'll talk all you want!

Oh, sure! My reputation precedes me!

Bruce brought it.....Buttershots is the name, but I don't know the brand/maker. Tastes like pancakes to me! And believe me, 1 bottle was more than enough at the KK pool party! I have no clue if duty free shops will have anything that specialized.....typically, you see the major stuff like Rums, Gins, Vodkas, certain Whiskeys, etc. They didn't even have Crown Royal at the LAX duty free!!

To be more specific, the "Maple Syrup" "Taste like pancakes" stuff is "Butterscotch Schnapps." Don't even think about substituting De Kuypers "Buttershots" for the real thing.

LLDN - One bottle may have been enough for YOU, but what about the Dolphins?

Bruce, you're the savant of schnapps!


WW, please bring one of the gray digital luggage scales for me. It looks easier to use than my floor scale!

So, who is going to participate in the Tacky Tourist costume contest?? So far, I know Bruce, Stan & I are participating......is everybody going to let the 3 of us run off with all the prizes?

The costume contest provides lots of fun & laughter to the group.....please consider participating!

I can probably enter without even bringing a costume!

And If you can find room for another of those luggage scales, that would be awesome..thanks!!!

Hey Tim, if you have a color preference for the luggage scale, please post it so WW knows what to bring to Roatan for you!

Ok off to go pack.. .nothing like last minute.

It does not weight much and I'd weight it but who knows where my food scale is!

You are NOT last minute until you pack 30 mins before you are supposed to leave for the airport!

FINAL IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR ALL TACA FLIGHT PASSENGERS:

Taca if overbooked will fly luggage a day later according to Bay Island Beach Resort. I was just updated a few hours ago that anyone flying TACA should be aware that they MAY not get their luggage until the next day.

SO....

1. Hand carry your regs, prescription mask, and computer.
2. Hand carry your meds and some toiletries
3. Bring a change of clothes and a bathing suit
4. Carry enough CASH in case your fiight is delayed in San Pedro Sula and you do not fly in on Saturday but Sunday instead. (Note that trip insurance will cover this should it happen but they ONLY TAKE CASH so be prepared for the WORST CASE SCENARIO.)

I hope this does not happen to anyone but being prepared IN CASE IT HAPPENS is far better than not being prepared at all.

Truthfully this is a good back up plan for ANY FLIGHTS TO A DIVING DESTINATION!!!

WOOHOO....CONGRATS!!!
Yea...just finished the last minute packing...now I cant sleep either. I usually do that on the plane anyway

I'm guessing it's too late now, but the gray color scale is preferred. I'll take either tho.

See ya in a few hours!
