Sounds like a great birthday present to myself I'm interested. However if Labor Day and New Years trip open up the same month and before I leave on my next trip to the Dominican I may have to flip a coin.😱 I will stop buying groceries, eating out immediately😉 (just kidding) I had a minor knee surgery in January to remove a bone fragment and some scar tissue. I'm doing exceptionally well according to my Ortho Doc. It's just paying that $3500 deductible in the next couple of months 😳

Ouch! $3500 would cover a very nice SD trip!

Hello from the Maldives...it all goes well they will both open fairly close to each other when I get back from Lembeh...and maybe if I get some good access...at least one while I'm on the Lembeh trip.

If you are signing up for both we'll work with you on the deposit!

Count me in!

Nice avatar, Squidly.

Kamala, let me know if you need any help! And enjoy Maldives!

[WreckWench]

I AM enjoying the Maldives...we hope to see mantas and whalesharks TOMORROW!!!

Guess I have water on the brain...what kind of help? You know we/I ALWAYS need help!

[Kimbuddha]

Maldives!!! You guys are basically doing all my dream trips. I hope you do repeats. I thought you were in Palau. The Maldives was going to be my next volunteer trip to work with scientists and whale sharks. It's just getting harder to put together six weeks to go not to mention the expense. Please take lots of good pictures. Enjoy, thanks for your feedback. I definitely want to do those two trips. I'll make it work. I think I'll stick with the closer trips this year so I can do more and get to meet more people. I've also been to Roatan, stayed at coco view. I have a funny story about my first ever night dive there right in front of the resort. I'll save it for my first trip if someone asks.

IMPORTANT TRIP UPDATE:

This trip will be open in March so get your membership updated to premier or above so you'll be ready when it opens.

And if you are not certain what we'll see...



Some things you may not know about the Northeastern Caribbean itinerary on Caribbean Explorer II:

• The NE Caribbean offers a blend of Dutch, British, French and native cultures on some of the most scenic islands in the Caribbean;

• The schedule provides for up to 3 island tours during the charter with ample time for our guests to explorer forts, rain forests, duty-free shops and museums;

• Saba, known for its submerged offshore pinnacles, is the 5 square mile top of a dormant volcano towering 3,000 feet above the surface and surrounded by volcanic sand the profusion of marine life here attests to the early institution of Saba Marine Park in 1987;

• St. Kitts offers arguably the widest variety of sites – finger reefs, recent wrecks and a variety of drop-offs that capture the imagination.

Im upgraded and ready to go. I looked up the resort. It looks like fun with great food. I'd be interested in going a couple days early. I an orphan no one to answer too. I would like advice on booking airfare as it doesn't seem straight forward. I guess we get two one way tickets? Keep me in mind later down the road so I don't mess this up,lol.

The Caribbean Explorer II is a GREAT boat!

You would actually be looking at an "open jaw" airline ticket. (Flying to one airport and home from another). If you search on a website, choose the option to have more than one destination and not a straight round trip.

Thank you Clint!

As he said...you choose to do a multi-city ticket and you fly into one city then depart from the other. We can help as well if you like. And I'm thrilled you want to make both trips work. That being said I'll help you so you can do it from our end! That way its a win win for BOTH of us!

BTW...orphans are nice!

p.s. I may be lucky and get this opend even while I'm in Lembeh. I got T&C opened during our down day in Male between trips so will try very hard to get NYE opened up since I'm now on a land based trip.

So if anyone is doing both of these trips I will work with you on deposits/early booking specials etc.
