About Me

I like to tell stories... you should ask me to tell you one. You can also look at pictures of my travels and life below:

A picture is worth a thousand words, and I have a thousand pictures (or more!)I also love to hear stories.. so if you have one to tell, I will listen.

My Interests

Scuba scuba, scubie doobie dooba.. here we go scuba, come on!Haha. I love scuba diving and traveling. I love being outdoors and watching animals. I like Disneyland a lot, and I dont get to go often enough. :(

I'd like to meet:

I dont mind meeting anyone, I like to talk to all sorts of people, especially people who like to travel and scuba dive.

Music:

Music is a very personal thing. I can only share music with you based on what it means to me. Maybe I have something I can give you that will have meaning to you.

Movies:

I have lots at my house, you may come watch them if you are nice.

Television:

The only television show worth watching regularly is LOST. I have every episode.

Books:

I've read a few. You should too.

Heroes:

I dont know who my heroes are anymore... I used to say everyone, but "everyone" isnt so great anymore.

Who needs anything but diving?

I did three dives today. Grace wasnt able to go on them, as she has started her DM course today. I met a new DMT today, Karen. It seems like most of the DMTs are girls. We saw a turtle, but of course ...

Carnival!

We explored a bit more, and Utila is even better than we thought. Food is pretty cheap, and really good too. We did our first Utila dive at 1pm. It was good fun, but we didnt see any turtles :( We met...

Utila finally

Our group got up early and got the first bus we could toward La Ceiba. Everything was going well and then the whole road stopped out of nowhere. After waiting for about 45 minutes, we found out that t...

On to Utila, rough seas ahead

We woke up early and caught the bus to Dangriga. There we got on the boat "Neymein Neydy" for Honduras. It was a wet ride down to Placencia, and an even wetter crossing from Placencia to Puerto Cortez...

Bye Hilary and Jeremiah!

Hilary and Jeremiah left for Caye Caulker this morning. Nothing else exciting happened. Grace and I slept in, did some sunbathing, ate our leftovers from the night before, and surfed the internets. Al...

Relaxing

i slept in today for the first time in a while. It was nice, but by the time we walked down to Hamanasi and Jaguar Reef to book a dive trip, they had already gone out for their one trip of the day. I ...

Hoppin on to Hopkins

Tess went home today :( We went to the airport with her to see her off. Right after we left Tess, Grace landed. Our cab driver, Calbert, waited around for us with all of our luggage so we didnt have...

Goodbye Turneffe!

The first thing we did after getting on the boat this morning was to outrun a fast-moving squall. I got an amazing picture of the squall with the sun behind it. We made it back to the Princess Hotel. ...

Party time

For our last day at Blackbird Oceanic Field Station, we did dolphin transects. We didnt see anything, so we decided to go snorkeling at Grand Bogue. Just as we pulled up, we spotted a shark hunting on...
