... had to ascend making safety stops along the way. We must have spent 15 minutes just hanging on the mooring line for deco which got a little boring but it was another great dive on a great wreck. Our third and final dive of the day was the "Christ of the Abyss" site, a 25 foot dive and good ending to a day of diving.<br><br>Back on shore we head back to check on Paul Z. who's ...

... into Sol who asked if i had seen Tom anywhere, to which i said i hadn't since last night. He then said that he thought Tom had done him over as he had asked Sol for some money this morning to which he had lent him then Tom vanished. They had agreed to meet later that morning and Tom never showed and his mobile was switched off and all of his clothes were gone. My trust in people is seriously starting to be questioned which is a shame, Sol then said he thinks Tom has headed back ...

Here we are in Key West Florida, the southern most city in the continental US, and man is it hot. It has been in the upper 90's with super high humidity. We've have been finding some fun ways to stay cool. Traveling around in the van isn't one of them. It is so hot here that there is no way we would be able to sleep in the van, or even outside in a tent. So, it really is our "smaller vacation within in our vacation" as Jess likes to put it, we're living it up in another ...

... I don't think the guy had ever cut a whiteman's hair in his life! Before returning back to the hotel, we visited the southernmost point of Key West and consequently the continent - bit of an anticlimax, but at least we can say we've been!<br> <br>In the evening we walked up Duval Street, (the main party street) to Mallory Square on the eastern side of the island to witness the sunset celebration there. It really was beautiful. Hundreds of ...

... degree heat. Once in the water the trainer introduced us to the dolphin by letting us stroke his back as he swam past us. His skin felt like a cross between suede and rubber. Next we got to swim with him, by holding on to his dorsal fin as he pulled us through the water - great fun. I also got to have a kiss from Talon. He swam up to me and I had to put my hand out and gently pull his nose forward to my cheek and then gently guide him away again. We were also taught that the ...

Key West Excusion<br>Sail and Snorkeling adventure - $39 per person<br><br>I<br>was thoroughly disappointed at the snorkeling part of this excursion<br>because well, the highlight of my snorkel was seeing a DORI (from NEMO<br>fish movie) fish. We were very far away from any real corals or any<br>kind of real underwater scenery. Plus, I felt like we were in the water<br>to snorkel and then they were immediately calling us back. Boo! <br><br><br>

... salad and Oysters. They Key Lime Pie was delicious as well...not to mention it was free! Activities and Excursions: One thing Matt and I have learned from our numerous trips to Key West is that there's hardly a lack of activities to do. These range from all day water excursions (http://www.furycat.com/key-west/waters ports-attractions.htm) to haunted tours of the Key West ...

... with clear turquoise water and awesome houses and architecture. The place is really laid back and you can run across a drag queen on a bicycle next to the biggest, meanest looking Harley Biker you ever saw. We decided it would be "fun" to circle the island on our first bike outing, so we ventured out and took off to our left....and almost killed ourselves by the time we got back to the Beast! IT WAS FREAKING ...

... was the INSANE! Yellowfin Tuna. Other words like ORGASMIC!, AMAZING!, etc. were there too...so I wanted to know if I could just order them by the buzzwords. Unfortunately because the place had daily specials, I couldn't just order the FAAABUULLOOUUUSSS! (too bad, that would have been great) So yeah, afterwards we walked a few blocks to a nearby hotel to see a drag show. That was pretty interesting. The man was named Randy and he did a pretty ...

... on the phone whilst they are looking at you 'live' (about a one minute delay) and the cam is obviously popular as I found myself jostling for position with others doing the same thing. Did the same when I popped into The Hog's Breath. Isn't technology wonderful? In Sloppy Joe's a group was doing the business as I ordered a (half) 'pint'. I suspect Ernest Hemmingway never went to Britain.....if he had, things might have been different. The band consisted of a guy on a honky-tonk ...
