Hey y'all! Just wanted you to know that the happy hour and HH dive was a lot of fun. I am so glad we did it. I, myself, am still a "mud puppy" especially at HH. But I got to meet divers from so many places. So much information from just being able to sit and talk to other people and their experiances.

I am looking forward to the next time we can all get together.

Dan and Becky...safe travels to y'all. Hopefully we can make it for a live aboard trip....can't wait.

Tim, happy and safe travels to Jordan. I hope everything goes well with the scuba there and someday we may all just dive the Red Sea together.

Kamala...........................LOVE THE RING!!!!!!! :thankyou:

Thanks Melissa! It was great to meet you and dive as well!

The SC HH and welcome party was awesome! It had just the right number of people whom I already consider friends there and LOTS of new people that I know SOON will be friends!

I lost count but I think we had between 15 and 17 people there and of course thanks to Tripp...Bill's son we had some awesome beans and slaw as well as some mean grilling!

Oh yeah...and lots of beer and wine...did I mention a lot of wine! ;)

Oh wait...that was BRAD who had a lot of wine... :lmao: :thankyou:

I also got to double dip and work on some SD projects with Brad aka Dive, Sail etc and Mark aka DiveGeek and even a bit with Matt aka Rumblebee who set up our facebook group! :lol:

And we had every girls fantasy slumber party/sleep over...everywhere I looked nothing but a sea of men! :thankyou:

Our dive day was quite fun if a bit late in getting started...seems the telephone/dsl repair guy FINALLY showed up so delayed us but he fixed most of the problems so just need him back out to fix the rest of them! :lol:

I can't wait for everyone to post their pictures and send them to me so we can do a live remote recap of all the HH's! :cool1:

And thank you for starting the HH recap thread....time has been zooming by me and I almost ran out of time to thank everyone for coming to help me celebrate my birthday AND my arrival in SC!!!

p.s. don't believe ANYTHING said under the influence of wine! :teeth: ;)

a-HEM!

Cearly the record on the SC HH must be set straight. Not so clearly, I have nominated myself to do the... er... straightening. :thankyou:

The wine did indeed flow, fairly evenly among those imbibing, and as a result:

- Absolutely NO embarrassing, inappropriate or outlandish statements were made.
- The ladies were the picture of prim and proper deportment; the gentlemen all... well, gentlemanly.
- Anything at all heard to the contrary, particularlay about ME, should be considered nothing more than another silly rumor likely initiated by one of legions of jealous competitors.

There. Now the truth is posted for all to read and know... :thankyou: (Psst! Hey, buddy. Wanna by a bridge in Brooklyn?)

Yes we did...even had a few more to dive than did the Happy Hour! :thankyou:

And it was the first time I had dove the "Hot Hole". Quite the nice mixing of warm and cool and warm water! Temps were high 70's and if you were chilled move into a warm spot! :thankyou:

The max depth is 40ft but like a rollarcoaster in the water! What a ride!

Yes, we've all seen Deliverance. :thankyou:

Sorry I missed this one. MarkB and I have been talking about having another HH in Atlanta in the next few weeks. We hope you will be able to join us. Unfortunately we can't offer any diving to go along with it, but it would still be fun to get together again.

Yes we are looking at the trip schedule so I can join...seems the Bali trip has slipped another day due to int'l flight issues so it will be early Aug before I can do it. I will try to lock in a date if that works for you and we'll plan it! :thankyou:

it will be early Aug before I can do [an Atlanta HH]. I will try to lock in a date if that works for you and we'll plan it! :thankyou:

My weekends in August are already filled up - out of town on a cert trip the first weekend, then two weekends on the west coast, and then two weekends of teaching. I am even teaching a class on my birthday! The only chance I can do an August HH would be on the 22 or 29, and even at that I could not make it much before 8:00 PM. I'm sure we'll figure something out though.
