Thanks Jazzdiver. That's great info. Now, does anyone know where in Louisville, Kentucky you can get that sunscreen .... today?

SWMBO is making an academy run today. I'll have her bring extras.

The price may be slightly inflated :birthday:

Sweet....I have a Whole Foods around the corner. I'll run over there today and see what I can come up with.

That's it, increase supply, lower prices.... another retirement scheme - up in smoke!!!

Kamala,
Are Ray and Liz OK to dive on our boat with us? Do they need waivers or anything like that? Let me know. Otherwise maybe I'll jump on whatever boat they are on for a couple of days? Those guys at Del Mar are prety cool. I think they will be OK with that.
Jesus and I were talking about doing twilight dives. Did you get in touch with him? If not everyone who is in let me know so I can give him a headcount.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

So what is the deal with the pickup by the van drivers in Cancun. Can we expect that we'll see someone with a sign at baggage claim that is looking for us, or should we plan on going to a particular location in the airport?
Back after a long absence - whew, too busy at work!

Will have this info today after clearing out hundreds of emails that have backed up while traveling on bidness!

I'm almost positive it will be a combo of both...head for a certain spot at the airport and look for a sign!

Thanks Jazzdiver. That's great info. Now, does anyone know where in Louisville, Kentucky you can get that sunscreen .... today?

Fingrabber / Kamala - not to be pesty, but Jerry, Jeff and I leave tonight or tomorrow morning and we don't know where to meet the van for Holbox on Friday. I doubt I'll have internet access from Isla Mujeres so if someone could post something, or email me, I'd really appreciate it. We will be at Cancun airport Friday at 1pm. thanks!



I will have complete updates posted today BUT...we will pick you up at 1pm at the airport in Cancun. We'll find you...don't worry! The airport is not that big! I will also email you as well! kamala

FINAL VAN ARRANGEMENTS:

We will all congregate at 1:20pm Friday July 14th outside the Cancun airport at the exit area for a 1:30 van departure. Look for van drivers with SingleDivers.com & Kamala signs. They will have a list of all passengers and check you off as we pick you up. We will need to be creative in loading the vans with all our luggage but it will work out fine! I'm NOW starting to get excited!!! -ww

I crammed all my stuff into a carry-on and a backpack so hopefully that will free up some luggage space.

Jesus and I were talking about doing twilight dives. Did you get in touch with him? If not everyone who is in let me know so I can give him a headcount.

I'm in for twilight/nights - btw, moonrise all week is after midnight.

I'm thinking it would be cool to do a twilight/night dive on the 17th. My friend and his daughter are in. Let me know if that is cool for you. I'm thinking maybe the 17th, 19th and 21st for extra dives. I have to leave some time in my schedule for tequila drinking and latin dancing.

Perhaps I have missed it in this thread....but what is the name of hotel in Holbox and possibly an emergency # to leave with family back home?
Thanks so much.

Karen (scubadawg) and I already planned on doing a checkout dive as soon as we get settled in so I already contacted the dive shop about arrival day diving, and they're ready for us. - then I'll be more than ready for a twilight dive with a tequila chaser. You're on your own for dancing - I tried once, and no one was happy - in fact, I think Mexico now has a law on the books against it.
