Sunday Afternoon at Harbor Village

Deborah arrived OK at 5:30am this morning, and we are both at the HB. Deborah did her first dive in over 5 years and her ears seem to be OK, not great, but OK. So, we'll likely try some more dives (or at least a dive) tomorrow.

Saturday Afternoon at Harbour Village

I've moved from Buddy Dive Resort to Harbour Village. A definite move UP in class of hotel. Hope Deborah can dodge the incoming storms and business meetings to get here for the week!

Went cave snorkeling yesterday - really neat. There are two caves to tour here and over 200 caves on the island.

Wednesday Evening in Bonaire

Hey - I got luggage today - only 3.5 days late. I now have all the stuff that I didnt carry in my dive bag - things like clothes, and my digital camera housing. Now I can take underwater pictures again!! I dont know where the bag spent the time, but I'm glad it came back to me. I was beginning to worry.

Still rainy here, but diving goes own. Helma Hooker and site on the island today. Texmex food tonight at the Lions Den. And more diving, with camera and swimsuit, tomorrow!

Tuesday Morning in Rainy Bonaire

Overcast and rainy here - but still warm and likely better than back in Icy Bethesda. My dive bag arrived with me Sunday morning, but luggage, with everything except dive gear, is still lost somewhere on Continental Airlines. Maybe I'll hear today that they know where it is - but I am not holding my breath!!

Saturday, Leaving TRH

I'm heading south, away from the ice and snow, and toward scuba diving in Bonaire. Overnight flight, then I'll be there Sunday morning. A week at Buddy Dive Resort, then to Harbor Village where Deborah joins me until March 3. Maybe it will spring when we get back - or at least maybe the ice piled up against the door will have thawed.

Wednesday Back at TRH

I'm back at home after two days near Winston-Salem leading a training seminar. I drove part of the way back home in the rain yesterday - then the rest this morning after a good icing. Took me 4 hours to go what should have taken about 2 hours. Lots of time looking at the back ends of trucks on Interstate 81. A couple of days here, starting with shoveling snow, then to Bonaire on Saturday.

Friday Noon in the Basement of TRH

In the basement, watching two plumbers install a new water heater. Old one, may have been 15+ years old, is finally getting replaced. But, since I have a computer in the basement (and kitchen and office) I can still do email and internet and work. Such a deal.

Off to NC next week for two days of teaching, then back home for several days before scuba diving in Bonaire Feb 17 to March 1. It's strange there is 80+ degree weather somewhere, when its been below 30 here for almost two weeks!
