There were 40 other people waiting with me in standby, many of them AA staff, many of them with families and many of them completely stranded for one reason or the other - a few were stuck behind too many people in line and checkin ...

... is so beautiful. I just couldn't believe my surroundings. At the bottom of the ocean, the corals were spectacular. Words cannot describe beauty. You have to see it to believe it. What a fantastic experience that I am not about to forget soon.<br><br>After the snorkel off we went to another beach where we relaxed and swammed for a while before returning to the ship. <br><br>Thankful for snorkeling,<br><br>Mo

... an exhilarating sail, we dropped anchor and life jackets together with snorkel equipment were issued. We then stepped into the warm sea and within no time at all we were swimming extremely close to these very friendly creatures. This was an incredible experience that we shall never forget. The water was crystal clear, so we had a clear view of these Turtles at close quarters. After sometime in the water we had to return to the boat. We then set sail to another part ...
