Can You Say Cabana

Today is our last day :( But we're making the most of it... After our 2 tank dive this morning our butler reserved us a cabana and now we're relaxing.

Advanced Water Diver

Today Michael and I finished the advanced water diver course! It was a whole lot of fun :) We dove on Devils Reef and saw lots of fishies and reef. Both of us had a hard time clearing our ears on the way down but it all worked out great. We went to a depth of 96 feet under water. Here are some after the dive shots.

Chiggers

Our adoring fans have asked for more information about chiggers (link to Wikipedia). They're a little mite that bites you a whole lot and makes you itch like crazy. Michael has been tempted to wrap my hands up or maybe put a cone around my neck so I can't bite at the bites. Here are some picture of my feet with lots of little bites everywhere.


Ice Cream

Oh Ya! We have a butler yoes! So we went to diner on the beach at a restaurant called Neptune's but we weren't feeling the desserts and wanted some ice cream. We went to the ice cream machine and it was off so we wandered down to some fire pits on the pier overlooking the ocean. As we sat there looking at the stars and lamenting the fact that we had no ice cream, we realized we had a butler!

We pulled out our butler phone and called Derron, one of our two butlers. We asked for some ice cream and within a couple minutes we had ice cream delivered directly to us on the pier. Can you say awesome!

Why I'm Not an Underwater Photographer

Boy is it hard to make a fish smile! I mean really you try to get close and say cheese and all they do is run away, maybe even find a rock to hide in. Today this is the best photo I took of fish...


And this is a montage to the blue fish that I chased around for god knows how long without one good picture.


Get Out of My Boat

Yesterday I did my best to throw Michael overboard! We got up and decided to go ocean kayaking. We put on some extremely stylish yellow life vests and got into a kayak that is also used to serve food at the beach buffet, can you say tasty :) We then paddled out along the beach to the open water and I decided I wanted the kayak to myself, so of course Michael had to go.

Later Michael convinced me to jump out of the kayak and I detail in this video the process of getting in and out of the kayak...


Night Dive Woohoo!

So there we were... 
                                 In the dark...

Michael and I were both nervous and as part of the dive we needed to practice some underwater navigation. We start out on the dock going over the equipment (i.e. your underwater flashlight and compass) and then we practice a little out of water navigation. At this point the dive instructor tells us you're going to go underwater and do about 20 kicks out and back on a heading :::Michael some how tunes out this point::: while one person holds the compass and the other hold a flash light to light the way.

Flash forward to on boat jumping into dark water in the ocean. NOTE: don't leave your lights on while on the surface the attract jelly fish ::oh boy oh boy:: Now we drop down to about 25ft and we start our little navigation practice. Michael goes first, he's kicking and kicking and kicking and kicking and kicking and not seeming to slow down anytime soon as the instructor gets farther and farther away and it's getting darker and darker. I suddenly realize Michael might not have the same game plan so I stop him and get him to turn around. We then kick back and are relieved to find the instructor. (Later I find out Michael though we needed to go twice as far). But after that was all done we went on doing a cool night dive.

We saw a puffer fish, sting rays, lot o' sea cucumber, moray eel and lots of other cool stuff. It was great although nerve racking at first.

Dunn River Falls

Today we hiked up the Dunn River Falls in Jamaica. It was cool and refreshing, the water was a nice cool temperature and it was fun little hike. We took some cool picks along the way.



Michael is sooooooo sexy :P

And We All Float On...

At least that's what I thought and then I found out Michael didn't know how to float in the Ocean. So we had a couples clinic on floating in the ocean ;P

Looking In the Same Direction...

Last night Michael and I had our amazing candle light diner on the beach. The food was good but the company was better :) It even came with it's own custom menu but much to my chagrin it said Mr. & Mrs. Gregg. Boo Urns!



The only downside is I was attacked by chiggers and have super itchy feet now.

The Room Tour

Michael gives a blow by blow...

SCUBA Diving

So we did our second dive yesterday, it was a shipwreck dive! It was really cool and there was a giant green eel inside the ship. We then went under some rock over hangs and as we were emerging from the rock we saw big manta ray go flying by over head. It was really cool.

After the dive we found out about some other cool dives and decided to get our advanced water certification. So we have five dives to do, a shipwreck, a night dive, a deep water dive, a navigation dive, and a drift dive. Unfortunately there are no cool pictures to go along with the dive because we don't have a camera that goes to 40ft :(

Michael Needs a Nap

Well we've had a rough day of vacationing and boy is Michael tired. We did our first scuba dive and it was great! Now he doesn't want to get up and make the long walk down to the bar to drink. Hopefully I can make him move soon...

Room Service

We decided we, of course, were to lazy to walk downstairs to get breakfast. So we requested breakfast brought to tue room.

We wanted two eggs, bacon, two english muffins and some pineapple but we got a feast instead!

Upgraded

We got to the resort and we our butlers, Derron and Kerry. They took us to our room which was not where we expected it to be...

Derron told us that we had been upgraded to the penthouse suite over looking the ocean. It has a great view.




In addition to the great view, we have a living room, jacuzzi, balcony, and of course a huge king bed.
