FINALLY, TO OUR DESTINATION

We got here OH, NO! WE'RE TOO LATE . . . Taking a skiff to the boat . . . . . . and here is the ODYSSEY, in all her glory . . . My room was the third & fourth portholes (ovals low, just above water) counting from the stern, or fourth & fifth, counting backward from the bow. View of the stern of the boat Inside the ODYSSEY's lounge/dining room/dive brief center. second deck just in front of the blue canvas top (large glass windows) Neil Saari & Mike Siefert (went to Galapagos with him & Mike Haynes) ODYSSEY Welcome board/room assignments Our stateroom . . . Room with a view, of sorts. Yes, most of the room is underwater. My dive permit . . . Mike S. & Brian T. Attempted to do a dive ricky-tick, but called it off. Internet today, then not so much. Just wanted to let you know we finally got here about 3 a m. your time Tuesday. Off to bed. Lots of diving tomorrow. [At this point, I was so confused I no longer knew where "here" was, but the internet must've shut down 'cause I never received an answer. I'm just glad he safely got somewhere to dive! Folks wonder why I don't go along on his trips; this is all just too stressful for me. AND I don't have the end goal of wonderful diving, which is what keeps him going. . . and going . . . and going. -- ad] ["Here" turned out to be on the ODYSSEY, I'm hoping he can get some extra days at the end of the trip, to make up for the missed days. Our Florida sojourn can be delayed . . . it'll still be there, waiting for us, and maybe even a bit warmer! -ad]

FINALLY, DIVING!
