picture from today's snorkel trip

Enjoy those great fish. Yeah - the emperor's new fish.

This morning, Carlton and I tossed our gear in bags and took the bus down to the "good" snorkel spot. I change into my swim togs and go get ready to go in. Oops, no mask, no snorkel. Got fins, camera, water, towels, mats, mask de-fogger, binoculars, even an orange. But, no mask, no snorkel. Oh well, I'll just use Carlton's mask.

Carlton appears wearing his togs, toting his bag. I confess that I left my mask behind. Take a small ration of grief along the lines of "How could you go snorkeling and leave your snorkel gear behind?" Carlton looks in his bag - and guess what? He forgot his gear too. When the bus came back, we got on the bus and came back "home".

Whatever happens is what you planned.

Got a "bonus" week in Europe - starting April 2. The brain is having a fine time thinking about where to go. There is always Paris. But, April in Paris as a single traveler doesn't sound too cool. How about Venice? Maybe I should go there before it sinks. Would like to go to Petra - but it doesn't seem to be economically doable. Siena? Maybe Aix en Provence. Nice would be nice. A bonus week. A gift.
