Sounds great! I would love to meet up with forum friends. I have 7 others travelling with me so I will try to talk them in to coming to play. Thanks Bob and Anita for getting it together! Can't wait!

Hi! How have the mosquitos been lately? Any improvement since the wild swarms hit and snacked on the visitors from the forum?

Hang in there! I feel as if I have been counting down forever yet I am just over a week away. The good thing about reality is that time does fly by. I will be wondering in 2 weeks from now where did the time go and you will be excited that you are two weeks closer. It will all be worth it in the end.

KSEA I am with ya. I have a huge fear of sharks. I have always been so happy that I had never seen one while snorkeling around STJ. I was so paranoid about it I always used to ask people if there were a lot of sharks down there and they would tell me no except for the occassional non-aggressive nurs...

I don't know whether you would like it as the first or last dance but Nora Jones Come Away With Me is a beautiful song. check it out on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBKcKQHZXks

Well put Jorge. I love it!

I am glad you all enjoyed your trip. Don't worry there are plenty of us out there who talk to all the animals, lizards, birds, etc... How did Susie like all the palm trees?

I am with Bug. I would not have worried nearly as much about what the courts would do as much as I would worry about getting my butt in some serious trouble at home. Money and fame seem to be more of a curse than a blessing. Given the choice I would take working hard, being responsible for my action...

Have an awesome vacation!

WOW! That was an awesome trip report. As others have said you can make us feel as though we were right there with you. I could feel that feeling of peace while you were sitting on the beach alone, I felt the urge to swim away from the 6-7 foot shark, the joy of meeting new people and playing with ev...

Margo, What a day! I too am a huge dolphin lover. My heart was racing reading about your experience. As you can see, not many have had such a blessing. Cherish it as I am sure you will. What a nice way to spend the day with new friends. You will forever share that incredible memory. Thanks so much!

I loved your pictures. I can't beleve Julie did not steal that puppy. What a cutie! Thanks for sharing.

Great report! Your photos are absolutely gorgeous! I love your donkey and shark stories although I don't think I would have been nearly as brave as to go check that shark out. So glad you had such a great time. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! 4.1 sounds big enough to shake ya up a bit. Glad everyone it ok!
