... another diver, not me. I will be going to the airport from here on Sunday and will spend the night at the airport since my flight leaves at 6 a.m.. I found a hostel in Miami that I will stay at. It is South Beach Hoste and is blocks from Miami Beach. They have free breakfast, lunch and dinner along with Internet for only $20.. Will try to catch a baseball game Monday night and then back to Phoenix on Tuesday.

... dann mal los, und was sollen wir sagen, trotz relativ eingeschraenkter Sicht ist die Unterwasserwelt hier sehr beeindruckend. Wir sehen viele grosse und bunte Fische, Seesterne und Seegurken, und unsere Ausruestung bringt uns gleich viel Spass.
Am Abend schmeissen wir zum ersten Mal unseren kleinen Klappgrill an und geniessen ein Steak bei untergehender Sonne, bevor wir uns im Zelt verkruemeln. Wegen der Waerme haben wir nur das Unterzelt aufgebaut, aber als nachts dann ...

... på, men skidt med det. Vi havde ikke lavet planer for dagen, så vi tog det stille og roligt og fik slappet af ved poolen selvom temperaturen hurtigt sneg sig over de 40 grader. Puha. Ved et tiden satte vi os i kø til telefonen for at ringe til jer derhjemme. Efter Tanja havde ønsket god jul til alle gik vi tilbage til poolen og fandt igen plads i solvognene. Vi havde egentlig aftalt at vi ikke skulle åbne julegaver før om aftenen, men eftersom vi ...

... stand up today, I was so ******, I was thinking about it way too much, wanting to be perfect, so just need to chill out and relax tomorrow Got a seminar at 3pm, I didn't want to overdue it today, so just stayed in the water for like 30 more min after the lesson practicing and keeping balanced paddling on the board, I should have lost more weight..lol But overall great experience, I met Joe and his wife today and talked with him a little bit, cool people...he is living the life here ...

... across a half mile of extremely rocky beach to circle back to our hotel. It sounds like torture, but we stumbled upon an awesome surprise! Talking parrots!!! Not only talking parrots, but.....spanish-speaking parrots! We heard them from the street and followed the sound up the steps of a small villa where we met a Tica who let us be extremely extremely excited, probably somewhat annoying, about these parrots. Six parrots greeted us with "Hola! Hola! Hola!" and we responded ...

... lights, there were a ton of people walking and biking in the streets (there aren't any sidewalks) and everything looks completely different at night. With only one false turn (which involved Cat telling me to go left, me obliging, and her telling me that "no, I said left" while she proceeded to point to the right), we made it safe and sound and enjoyed our last night of oceanside dessert and drinks (we also ran into Tracy and Darby who we had ...

... agency. But, in the spirit of "letting go," I let it go... I was proud of myself, because I actually agreed to go first, which I thought was pretty adventurous. Catharine soon surpassed me, however. At the second station, the guide asked who wanted to go upside down. All of us, except for Catharine, was like "hell no!" Catharine, on the other hand, readily volunteered. She did not ask what that entailed, just hopped on board and went sailing through ...

... later we arrive in San Juan in time to find a hotel and watch the Pacific sun set over the bay - followed by Pretty Women showing on the tele in our room (gone upmarket with this hotel - a tele!!), followed by a sea view bar, with t he sea lit up by the moon. Monday we explored the town, and as there was a power cut across the whole town in the evening went in search of a restaurant with a generator. Tuesday, off to the local beaches, however managed to miss the early ...

... beach town on the Pacific coast. Here we visited some waterfalls, one of which dropped about 70 feet. We swam underneath the waterfall and jumped through a few times, but it was hard to get to because the force of the water kept pushing us away. We also visited a long beach which was nearly deserted. There were only a few other people on it, and some people riding horses across it. Finally, we went to Turrialba, which is one of the world´s ...

... head to the beach. On the way to the beach we see BUTTMAN and Knockoff SHAKIRA being talked to by 3 police officers. I'm sure they are innocent and all will be fine. In front of the hotel there is a little Tiki bar thing that we have taken over as our own. Kay spreads out salami, proscutto, olives, some cheese, roasted peppers and some fresh French bread. We also have a bottle of rum and some juice for mixers. It is quite a spread. While eating and enjoying drinks those same ...
