I have almost completed everything for my Open Water Scuba certification. I have a final dive tomorrow morning to do and turn in all my book work. Hopefully I will pass! I’m guessing they pass everyone who doesn’t end up as fish food. We did stuff in the pool first which was a lot like doing the discover …

Kneeboarding
We finally got a day with no rain! It was sunny and warm all day long so we had activities in the morning and in the afternoon. Bill did the first half of his scuba certification today. He’s finishing up the written part now so he may do an update tomorrow. He does the second …
Scuba Prep
Hello All: I’m doing a combined post tonight for Bill and me because we don’t have a lot to write about. We took the catamaran out this morning and that was a lot of fun. We are both getting better at sailing. It started raining at 1pm today and rained all afternoon. I had planned …
Day 4 with Bill
I’m going to start off with a few things that I keep telling myself that I should put in the blog. Did we mention that we are staying at Couples Negril? That should probably be day 1 but the travel day can really take it out of you! I’m not sure if things our readers are …
Snorkeling
If you were going to buy something for a two and a half year old, would you get a ukulele or maracas? My friend has a little girl who I haven’t seen in over a year. Julianna doesn’t remember me, but I’d like to bribe her into liking me next time I get to see …

Rainy Day in Jamaica
I had planned to write a post today, but it’s getting late and Bill has done a really good post for us, so I’ll leave it to him to tell you about our day. He also took some pictures so I’ll post those as well. Even though I had a post already today, it’s pouring …
Bill’s Arrival Post
Good morning everyone!! We made it to Jamaica yesterday afternoon. We ended up having a little extra time in the shuttle because our driver didn’t have to load our bags and he forgot to ask everyone where they were going like he said he normally does. It wasn’t very long getting back to our resort. We …
Arrival in Jamaica
I’m doing a short post tonight because I’m exhausted! We arrived in Jamaica without any trouble, but it was a long travel day. We left the hotel in St. Louis this morning at 4am and got to our resort around 2pm this afternoon. Travel time to Jamaica is relatively short compared to other places, but …
