Well, I'm leaving on my long-awaited vacation to indulge in my second biggest obsession: scuba diving. I'll be gone for 14 days. I fly to Costa Rica, starting my journey 3 AM tomorrow,
spend a night in San Jose (CR, not CA!), spend two days at the
Arenal Volcano, then board the
110' Okeanos Aggressor on 4 July for a 36 hour boat ride to
Cocos Island, the largest uninhabited island in the world. I'll spend 7 days diving there, looking for
hammerheads, mantas, turtles, and whale sharks with 21 friends from my other favorite
internet community--about half of whom I've already met and dived with in real life. (People may talk about the evils of the internet, but my life has been unimaginably enriched by its existence.) Another 350 mile trip back to the mainland, one more night in San Jose, then home to two very
pissed-off felines and an overwhelmingly long
friends page on the 15th.
I may pop up in the next few days, since the hotel in San Jose is supposed to have wireless internet. On the boat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean? Nope.
It will be a blast, but I'll miss you guys something fierce! I expect you to take note of fics, pics and news I need to know!
Since I will miss it, Happy Birthday to my lovely
luthien123 on the 4th! Have a wonderful day Liz honey!
And a very happy twelfth wedding anniversary to Billie Joe and Adrienne Nesser Armstrong on July 2nd.
