Ok, this is just wrong on so many levels.

Wrong???

What's wrong with a "Proxy Typer"??


Of course that one had an agenda of his own.......

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!

To make a loooong story very short, we've decided to sell the condo that we owned with Jay's mom and not use it as a timeshare. We decided that we'd rather own something in the Caribbean.
The idea of cruising came about to give us a chance to see where we wanted to buy. We've seen lots of beautiful places and discovered exactly how expensive it is to buy in most of them.
We'd thought all along that we would most likely buy in Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles....next to Aruba. Although it isn't at all lush...it's desert.....it IS below the hurricane belt, is not at all commercialized, and has tons and tons of dive and snorkel sites. And it's still relatively affordable. And close enough to some of the more "lush" islands to hop a plane and be at one in a couple of hours.

So that was a long story. Anyway, we've contacted a real estate agent and have a couple of places to check out that are in our budget...and at the exact location we wanted!!!


WHOOPPPPPPPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is exciting!!! Good luck getting the place you want. I'll be looking forward to an invitation to the House-warming!!

 

[Dancind]

Stacey, that means another trip, right? I mean, you have to go check them out! Need any help?

Yes, the daughter IM's. We know, because it keeps crashing her computer.

So, the boys that can't type very well are socially handicapped? Interesting. Good thing some of them have Dads to help out.

Are you taking reservations yet? If so, put us down....DIVE *DIVE*DIVE!!!

oh, and sorry about the chicken comb tragedy!

 

[justmestace]

Yes, it will definitely mean a trip down there to have a "look see". That's tragic, huh?

We're wanting a two bedroom condo at Sand Dollar. You can see what they look like at www.divesanddollar.com.
They handle the rentals for when we wouldn't be using it. We stayed there and it's a great spot. Very clean.

Frankly, I think Alicia would get suspicious with the difference.......

She's got her mothers BS filter!

 

[tinksdad]

I GOT STOPPED FOR SPEEDING THE OTHER DAY.




I THOUGHT I COULD TALK MY


WAY OUT OF


IT UNTIL THE

[WDWLVR]

Stacey - the new condo sounds nice. Looks like a great place for you guys! Congratulations!

Tori thought that was soooooo cute!! But she wants to know if you really did get stopped for speeding or not!

 

[scuba diver]

The most fun to have is when the kids forget to turn off the IM thing and I'm online. One of their friends will pop up and interrupt me while I'm doing something....thinking it's either Jordan or Jared online....and I get to "mess" with them.

Thanks for the idea. Now I can blame it on you!

Are you call ME old??

And are you saying my SON is socially handicapped?

Tough group today.

WHOOPPPPPPPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never been there, but I have heard and read that Bonaire is a great dive place!!

Congratulations. Make sure you buy a place big enough for all of us.

No not really...... LOL! Tell her it was Alicia!!

Today was another beautiful day in paradise. Did I mention it was warm? Even the water temp was about 80. And did I mention you could dip your toes in the bay right outside our front door?

Another early rise to great the dive boat, with our new found friends and dive instructor. Captn changed the dive location based on the tide to the concrete, another wreck first dive. This was deeper - about 90 feet and still crystal clear water. It is basically a concrete shell with some swim throughs and lots of neat wheels and attachments to host corral. I tried my hand at the camera, well, let us say Kevin has nothing to be concerned about. Today we saw more turtles, our Dive instructor was nicknamed, the turtle lady. And amazing fish and the cutest sting rays sanding themselves on the bottom.....Here air was not a problem. Yes, we had air, Nitrox is harder to come by on the island. One of the divers on the boat from a cruise ship had requested it, but the remainder of us were on air.....Thus depth penetration limited our down time. Maybe we can post a few pictures this weekend.....Later...

From Blue Island site....


Depth to seabed = 92ft, 28m
Depth to top of site = 50ft, 15m
Type = WRECK
Tidal = YES

The M/V WIT Concrete was built in 1943 by the National Ship Company in Oakland, California. She is a 350ft long bulk carrier that was used for towing in the pacific, primarily for gasoline. The vessel was initially sunk during hurricane Marilyn in 1995, and was again raised by the Army Corps. of Engineers and sunk two miles south of Porpoise Rocks, South St Thomas.

YIPPEE A TOP - HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND PD FOR THE TRAVELERS IN THE STORM DELAYS...
