Kim,

I don't scuba, but I am a mean snorkler!! You really are a very accomplished "watergirl" aren't you? That is so cool. I tried to "snuba" while in Hawaii in May but I kinda freaked with the weights they put on me. Was having trouble keeping above the surface. I'd like to try it again though, especially since there is 88 lbs less of me! Have a good one.

Default Snuba,

Pam, you crack me up!

I do have a love for water. I have a funny story to tell you about weights. The first time a friend tried to teach me how to SCUBA before I took the classes, he thought that I could share his air. That was his first mistake. I had weights on and we walked out at La Jolla Shores. I was like a fish out of water, I was trying desperately to keep my face above water, once I had possession of the air, I was not going to give it back! He pulled it from my hands. I panicked, I tried to surface, I had to drop the weight belt into Davey Jones' Locker (actually it was only in about 10 feet of water LOL). It was the worse experience I've had in the ocean. It's surprising that I went on and got certified years later.

I love snorkling too, but without weights! It's much less cumbersome and safe.

What do you think? Do you think we could get enough people together for this one?
First...Stacie, it's about time you put a picture up!!!

I am down on a cruise trip. Heck yeah!

I am even more down on a cruise where no plane ride is neccessary.

We should e-mail that lady and tell her to hook one up from the SD area since we are a "HOT BED" of GBP surgeries between Pomerado, Alvarado, and Pacific Bariatrics.

This way we would have no choice but to shake our tail-feathers.
