Excellent, excellent report Terese! Awesome underwater pictures, too! Sorry to hear you got sick, Betty, but what an environment for recovery, right?

It has been such a pleasure to read your reports sea-nile. I envy you your diving experience.
And I still think it’s so great that the six of you were on vacation together only knowing each
other from the forum.

Thanks everyone!
I did not take all of the pictures. The rest of the SOTB'ers took some and some were from Colette.
Ruth gets credit for the ferry one on the last day.

Cypress and Betty. Your pictures are fine. We all know that everyone looks better in person.
"Ye who writes trip report, gets to select pictures".

I'd love to dive with whoever is willing!
That was my first time too, so Coden you can do it!

Tom, we wish you were there too. You can be our cook and pack mule next year. We kind of need a chaperone too at the Beach Bar.

I loved writing it because it made me re live the experience. I had tears in my eyes at the end too.

But, a year goes by fast and we will do it all over again!!

Oh and if any of you SOTB'ers are mad at the pictures, you can post whatever you want of me, I don't care.
I did leave out quite a few pictures that were risky.

I did use some discretion!

sea-nile thanks for the the great account of your trip and SOTB. What fun and what an absolute great group of women. You took me to St. John on a cold week in the northeast. I am glad you had a blast on one of the greatest places on earth! Thanks again . SSB

Loved the report Sea-nile! Sorry to see it come to an end. Congrats to you on your scuba diving..the underwater pics are amazing! Maybe I'll have the guts to try it someday!

Seanile - I am all about learning how to dive when we go. Can you fill me in on how to get it all set up?

Also, do I use my own mask? The one I use for snorkeling?

This is too exciting!!!

Loved the reports. Looks like we may be on island same time next year. I have this mental image of about 30 forumites invading the same beach together.

Sea-nile, my new friend, what a GREAT job you did on our report...I looked forward to reading about each day and the pictures you chose were priceless! I don't think I've had such fun in a long, long time. Just as others have said, I was really sorry to have our story end. But......look out, we're headed back again, this time with lots of new friends it looks like..I look forward to ???OTB, Part II, but I am so very happy to have been a part of our very first excursion...great job!!!

Thanks for time and effort to write good report and post photos.

That turtle shot is great. I messed around with the color correction on that for you using Picasa to tone down the blues somewhat with only limited success, maybe because of the depth it was taken at(?)

That was a great trip report sea-nile. I am trying to catch up on trip reports as we just got back too. Looks like you had a fantastic time and lots of memories.

The turtle picture looks great!
I can't see most pictures at work so I had to wait until I got home.
Thanks!

Looks like you had a great time and the pics and report were just what I needed as the snow blows hard here. It is really cool that you met on the forum and had such a great time together. I hope when we are there in April we can meet up with some forumites. Thank you for sharing.
