As a human being, you allways try to do better...and when it comes to discover....to go one more step further. Thanks to Chip, I had put for the last few months the Socorro Archipelago way high on my diving wishlist. I've so far dived in 39 countries and my top list would read something like Galapagos, Palau, Protea Bank (South Africa), Tubataha (Philippines), PNG or even Sipadan...all done! So what was going to be a week diving on the Solmar V in Socorro, Mexico? It was pretty impressive...but I'm still not sure it's now my prefered place to dive in the world....yes, I'm a spoiled kid is the way you can put it....but if you have never heard about this...let's say that there is not much better in the world when it comes to dive ... read more

January 30 – College Station to Cabo San Lucas – Only slept a couple of hours last night and then woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. Finally got up around 3AM and did a little homework on the internet till I suddenly realized at 5AM that my plane was leaving at 06:40 instead of 07:40. So I loaded up quickly and went to the airport. One thing about B/CS is it doesn’t take long to get anywhere. I got checked in and got my boarding pass and went through security in plenty of time. I really do believe that they use the flights out of College Station, Texas to train pilots or to break in new ones. We just about ran out of runway before the plane finally went into a very steep climb ... read more

As it is getting warm enough now to leave the balcony door open all night, we awoke to the sounds of morning boat traffic just off Cabo Wabo, where we dropped the hook and prepared for “tender operations.” Our ship is so large at some ports we have to anchor off the coast and get ferried in by the ship’s “tenders” (English translation = life boats). Hit the beach at 1000 in the bright sunshine and headed off to our first shore trip – Zip Lining, rappelling, cliff climbing and such at the UNESCO preserve here in the Southern Sierra! Dan and Desi look out dudes – Two new Cliff Team guys coming your way! Carol took to it like a duck to water, and the driver had to chain her to the mini bus to ... read more

Acupuncture this morning. We will see later today if it helped my ankle or not. end of trivia and then changed to go ashore. Got VIP tender tickets so it did not matter when we went down. Walked around the town and shopped a little. Not much there but tourist crap. Spent an hour and came back to the ship. Toni and i accepted cold water and a cold towel in the line and then showed our key card- guard told us we were trying to get on the wrong ship - it was the celebrity line. We laughed and found the right place! Spa and more trivia. changed for dinner and more trivia! Late dinner and bed. Ankle started hurting after dinner. Can't decide if i should do more acupuncture or not.... read more
