What a trip...

Still trying to get caught up from the vacation. Part of me is still sitting on the point, watching the sunset. Once we wade through the pictures, videos and notes of our trip, we will get this page updated. 9 days/ 8 nights. 5 Days of diving. 18 dives in all. Over 15 hours underwater. Dives to 108' and dives to 20'. Getting to spend it all with my soulmate to celebrate our first 20 years together - these memories are priceless.

20 yrs

Wow...

Last sunset of the trip...

Sorry no updates lately - pretty tired - 4 tanks on Wednesday, 6 tanks on Thursday and 2 this morning - 18 dives in all this week - what a week!!

Chillin

Spectacular anniversary

Finally in the water today for 4 tanks. Huge eagle ray, juvenile eel, lobsters and many many fish. Enjoying another breathtaking sunset with my hubby celebrating 20 years.

Evening storm - awesome!

Hand rolled sunset

Little cigar shop down the road a mile or so - old Cuban guy hand rolling cigars.

Weather looks like the wind will be laying down as well - had to cancel this afternoons boat as well - no worries!

Monday's Sunset

Sleeping in

The wind is keeping us on dry land again this morning. There's a small chance we can get out this afternoon. The night dive is rescheduled for tomorrow night.

Sunday's Pics...

Had an off day today with a night dive this evening, but looks like the wind has blown us out and will postpone until tomorrow.

Pics are from yesterdays dives - hit 108' on the T-Bolt and total dive time was 26 minutes - really awesome dive! Goliath grouper pic below just does not do it justice - was over 6' long!

Dives yesterday were Thunderbolt, Samantha's Reef, "The Wrist" reef, and another dip on Samantha's. Spotted and moray eel's, angelfish, lobster, highhats, moon jellies, hogfish - too many to go into detail here.

Catch you on the flip!

Better and better...

Pics from todays dives....

On the ground in FLL

Made the short connection at IAH - man, I can't wait to get underwater again!

Checked in...

Checked in, prosthetic dive foot sent the TSA into bag check mode - :-) every time - kind of funny actually.

Have an hour until flight but made it through before the rush.

Mommy...

Toes are ready

Ready to go

Finally packed. 8 hours to go.

How time flies

When I wasn’t looking, I found him. My parents thought I brought home a stray to keep.  I brought home my soulmate. We’ve been through better and worse, richer and poorer, sickness and health and made it through all of it. We’ve shared our innermost fears, feelings, secrets and dreams. We’ve cried together and laughed together.  We’ve watched our sons grow into men. Now we are heading off to celebrate our 20^th anniversary. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long already but then again I can’t remember a time when we weren’t together.

I’m sure we’ll post a few pictures and tidbits about our trip while we’re away, but mostly we’ll be building more memories together.

I can only hope that others have or will find the one true person that will make them as happy as he has made me for over half of my life.

Hugs and kisses,

Mrs. Lizard Leg

Anticipation...

By Mr. Lizard Leg - the anticipation is about to drive me nuts.  12 hours from now I will be arriving at the airport to begin a trip celebrating twenty years married to my soulmate and best friend.

Count 'em.  Twenty years.  240 months.  1,040 weeks.  7,300 days.  It feels like yesterday that I first saw her.  It feels like yesterday...

I can't wait for the next twenty years!

We have a great trip planned.  Sunrises, good food, great diving, maybe a few cold ones slipped into the mix... this is one of those trips where I feel like a kid waiting for the trip to Disney.

We'll keep this as up to date as we can, for those who are interested - I don't plan on spending a lot of time on a computer or phone until October 8th.  Maybe some pics, maybe some videos.

Here's the first pic for you from our trip in June - the sunset at the point directly behind the Resort where we are staying this time...

 

 

11 hours 55 minutes now... time seems to be stading still.
