And for all your non-drinkers....over 50% of this trip has NON-drinkers on it...including two newbie non-drinkers...fingrabber and myself!! If you drink Odules YOU MUST REQUEST IT...they will not have it automatically unless requested. That will be the only non-alcoholic drink available besides soda etc.

And finally....I think I'll need a drink before this all over with... see all soon! -ww

I can't believe you and fingrabber are still on this ridiculous bet!! Ooops, I digress, you have another post out there that more clearly states your rationale!!

However-your last remarks are clearly a much better choice in your decision making analysis, at least for this trip anyway. Once you return to the mainland, you can get back on the wagon!

Almost forgot-I'll be the naked guy in WW's luggage!!!

Doesn't look hard, but I'd feel better with some help.  I think I found the kit (the battery comes with an O ring to replace at the same time).  I have to go into Waikiki tomorrow to get it and I won't have time for the dive shop to change it out.

It's really not hard...mine is in a wrist boot...yours is in a console, right? I think the hard part was replacing the o-ring and then getting the do-hickey and the doom-ma-flatchy to work right!

something tells me you won't want me to do this for you

Hey, I just went in to pick up a car part I ordered. My exact words to the guy were "I got a voice mail that the little do-hicky I ordered was in". Fortunately I had the paperwork, or I'd probably still be waiting while he searched through the "D's"

When I ordered it, I actually took the part in and said "I need one of these"

All I have left to do is get my toenails painted like a dive flag and throw in a couple of bathing suits. I haven't weighed my bag yet.....
If it's too heavy, I'll just pull out all my batteries and put them in my carry-on. I padded my wine real good and then put it in a zip-lock bag.

[AliKat]

Ok...so speaking of healthy....I'll bring the grinder...you all just bring your flax!!! And don't forget your concentrated fruit, veggie and berry extracts...you'll need the extra antioxidents with so much diving!!! -ww

I need to learn more about all of this. I was totally off the wagon this week. I went on an all out sugar binge

Arrrgggghhhh! I wish I could be like you...dive flags on the toes...and already packed!!!

You are my hero!!!

[Tony Riggio]

Ok, gear is packed, clothes are packed, everything is packed an I am ready to go. I sit and reflect, or hit LAX now and start the party early. One more descision.......... This will definantly be a blast with this group, I can tell.

Tony best I can tell, looks like you are close to the airport.  You and Brant are the first ones to arrive (well, except Dan, who gets there Thursday, I think).  So, once you get checked in, why don't take a cab to Front street and we can all meet up at the Pasangrahan; maybe between 1830 and 1900 on Friday evening?

That sounds fine Ali... I'm solo so will be easier to meet at your hotel and then we can all go hunt dinner.

I'll be there around 6:30, but if I'm not there at 7:00 it means forget about me 'cause I got lazy from the red-eye and put my feet up somewhere...........

No, no, no. The best way to deal with jet lag is to take a short nap and then stay up until its bedtime where ever you are. Come on, I'm starting out on a red eye in just a few hours, and I won't be crashing as soon as I get in! We will keep you entertained and awake. I promise.

Well,

maybe it's a good thing I rented a Cobra console for the week...I needed a redundant Nitrox computer so I figured "why not??"

so, if the battery fix doesn't work, at least there will be an extra on the boat

Hmmm, sounds like I might be a little richer after this trip!!

DBD, you know you're going to need more dive gear than just your birthday suit, right?

I need to learn about this as well. I put on over 10lbs on my trip and since being home have put on another pound or two. All my friends have been taking me out for my birthday and to hear about my trip. Will be nice to finally get back to a regular routine again. I barely hit the gym(4 times) in the two weeks I was home.

How can I past THAT up?!?!

I should have several Cochrans as well. The trick is that they need to be diving all the dives...if they aren't then if its the second dive of the day you can't use it!

No worries...you'll have lots of time to learn all you want...and maybe some you don't...your private nutritional advisor is in the house!!!

And yes..we can help you lose some of that 'extra' fun you've picked up. I hope you sent your forms into the boat saying LOTS of fruits and veggies...you'll need 'em to keep up with me!!! -ww

Tony that is a gaurantee!! You may never want to dive with another group again other than us!

[WreckWench]

Oh yes...I have a surprise for everyone...we'll be doing something on this trip a bit different...so stay tuned for all the fun details!!! -ww

Yep...another contest is in the making!!!
