Hey everyone!

there's still good airfare for this trip...for example, I've found round trip air from DFW to George Town for $430, which includes taxes! This is on Orbitz, so book your spot now!

[Dive_buddy]

Okay, you can take the pinned message down, the last spot has been taken. Late last night (29 Jan) WW found herself a sucker (me).

So with that, I look forward to meeting everyone.

See ya Sat.

[BabyDuck]

wonderful! looking forward to it! bring a handful of change for the poker...

[WreckWench]

Hey gang...by now you should all have the SD Rooming Survey & SD Liab/Medical Release forms from Fingrabber and soon you'll have the Explorer Ventures Reservation form and Liability Release forms.

That makes a total of 4 forms...2 need to be sent to SD directly at 214-350-2558 fax or to trips@singledivers.com via email. Please send these in advance and take a copy of your SD Liability/Medical form to the boat as well so we have your DAN or other insurance info, medical info etc.

DO NOT FORGET to bring your SEALED Medical Envelope which is to be opened ONLY IN THE EVENT OF EMERGENCY. And don't forget to put your name on the outside of the envelope so we know its yours!

Please send the two (2) Explorer Ventures forms back to Explorer Ventures fax #1.903.887.8526 ASAP!! They need to get ready for us!

Thank you!

I must have missed something somewhere.... what goes in here?

[WreckWench]

The sealed envelope has a copy of your medical history, any meds you are on, copy of passport & driver license, insurance information, and anything you want a doctor to know in the event that you can't speak for yourself. It is only to be opened in an event of an emergency and will be returned to you at the end of the trip. (Please ask the trip leader for it back.) This pkg usually contains information not disclosed on a standard dive waiver and is only for use in the event that you are unable to speak for yourself.

And don't forget to write your full name and screen name on the outside of the envelope!

Thanks, kamala

Since arriving on your quaint little planet, I have not allowed any of your Terran Doctors to examine me (for obvious reasons). I could get a dedical transcript sent down from the Mother ship, but it will be in Crysthallain, and I'm guessing that you may not understand it. Will this be a problem?

Also, I find myself up the creek without a fin. Do to an administrative error, I find that upon my return from this trip I will have a slightly longer than normal layover in Miami, about a day layover. Sooooooooo. If anyone has any ideas as to what someone who is stranded, alone, miles from home, can go diving, will probably be too broke to pay attention, can do in Miami for a day, besides stare at the walls of the airport, eat at the most expensive resturant in town, watch 163 planes take off in a row before having to go to the bathroom, and try to hide from the Hari Krishna, please give me a holler.

In other words, where's a cheap flop and something to do in Miami?

Thanks in advance. (Humms "Take me along if you love me" as he signs off)

But look at all the fun you can have visiting South Beach or Miami? And perhaps you can hook up with ScubaDadMiami? He is always up for a dive...the diving in Miami is fantastic!

Hey, a couple questions for everyone. First, is anyone else coming in on Bahamas Air 372 at 7:10PM? (It used to arrive at 4 something, but they changed it). If so, maybe we could link up to get a ride to the dock.

Also, is anyone bringing a laptop? I'd like to either burn my photos from my card reader to a dvd or cd (which I can bring if someone has a burner), or to an external hard drive, which I can bring too.

What I can offer in return is a non-commercial, fully functioneing verion of Photoshop 7 for you to install on your machine (for anyone), for your photo enhancing, manipulation, amusement. I have a really cool pulg-in which will remove distortion and chroma shift usually found in underwater pics.

See you soon!
