From May 27 - June 4 I will have little to no computer access while on the island. I will have limited cell phone/text message access as well.

It's Winter time - you know you're a diver when you're scraping ice off your windshield INSIDE your vehicle...!

It's 95F today in D/FW - but still no salt water.... I am also envious.

That picture is from my last trip. Since then, the chlorine and salt water up here has lightened my hair! I even had my hair darkened last time I got it cut and not two weeks later, well I'm back to blondish hair again! Argh! I think it's a super evil plot by WreckWench and cmt489 to convert me!Watch out for that sun, it looks like it turns your blonde locks dark....

Have fun. You can entertain the crowd in NC with the stories... or not depending on what you *can* tell us.
A person should be judged in this life not by the mistakes that they make nor by the number of them. Rather they are to be judged by their recovery from them.

Good point Brian! I'm already practicing my get-away run and my typical save-my-butt saying....

"What are you a diplomat of?"
"I am a diplomat of love"
