Getting ready!

[Backtotheislands]

Got my order in today with my new Canon D20 to back up my D10, as well as my map of St. JOhn put out by National Geographic, Snorkeling Guide to Marine Life, and Snorkel St. John books. I forgot to order a 2nd floating strap and an 8GB memory card, though. Last week I found the Humann Reef Fish of the Caribbean Identification Guide in my Half Price Books!It's all coming together! One week from in the morning! Haven't started to pack, but that should be easy!!

Sounds like you're ready for some serious snorkeling! Hope you'll post some killer underwater pics with your new D20 and let us know how it compares with the D10! Vacation very soon come~

Hey Colleen, I'm so ready! I just hope my hubby is! In another life, I'd love to be a marine biologist or underwater photographer . . . not because I'm very good, but because it's so fun! Loved your report/pictures and want to add Denis and Solomon and Honeymoon via Caneel to my list this time! I also would like to give Salt Pond, Francis, and the Lameshurs another try (I think I did them "wrong" cuz I wasn't a huge fan!)and visit the Haulovers. HAVE to return to Maho and Waterlemon for sure because they are my faves! Also, want to try out the Tourist Trap.So much to do, so little time! We'll just see. I won't take almost a year to do my trip report this time, though! Thanks!

Y'all are a few days ahead of us! Hope we get the chance to meet at the Beach Bar on August 5!

hey guys, i'll be there too! my sister and BIL are coming for the first time, hope they love it as much as we do.

i got new camera too, my D10 flooded last year, but i really liked it for the several years it lasted, and i got reimbursed with xtended warranty . i decided to get another D10 and warranty for about the same cost as the new D20. i'm a lousy photographer anyhow and didn't have a clue what any of the new features on D20 are for, often i press the on/off button instead of picture cicking button, LOL! that's ok, i still have fun taking pics

we'll try to come to beach bar on 8/05

Looks like there might be a pretty good size group at the BB Aug. 5th. We'll also be there the 29th of July. Everyone is welcome, so come on down to the beach and ask around for a forumite. See you all soon.

Ohh Backtotheislands - you can't do a beach "wrong"; you may just not like some of them and that's OK.

St. John only works if you do it "your way".

Have a great trip.

Shelli, I probably won't know how to use everything on the D20, but I figured my D10 needed a backup!
