I did my first free diving class today, and it went great! I was concerned about how it would go, but I’m actually a decent free diver. I think my snorkeling background helped. I was most concerned about equalizing the pressure in my ears, which has limited how far I could dive in the past. …

My first installment of Roatan II
Hello readers!! Hopefully everyone is ready for summer and has been getting along well! We’re once again in Roatan, Emily’s post yesterday should have clued everyone in. Even with the Urgent Care visit and subsequent fallout from that (more on that later!) we did enjoy our time in Roatan and decided to comeback. Emily is …
Back to Roatan
Hello All! Bill and I arrived back in Roatan around 12:30pm today. We visited here last May too. We had to get up at 2:45am to make our 5am flight but overall, we had a smooth travel day. Flights lately have been terrible. A lot of them have 24 or 48 hour layovers somewhere or …
Room rate plus electricity
Today is our last full day at Lagoon Resort and Apartments. We need to go pay my dive tab and deal with the plus, our air conditioning for the time at Lagoon. They give a room rate but in their app they inform you that air conditioning is extra. We didn’t get the app until …
Creatures of Curacao
Hello All: It’s been several days since I did a post and now I don’t remember what I wanted to say. I started a post last night that I didn’t finish and now I can’t find the draft. We are having a fine time here in Curacao, but it’s not our most exciting trip and …
Last day Diving in Curaçao

Kato Cave and night diving!
Hello blog post reader! Hopefully you are enjoying our blog, some times it is more interesting than others. Today we took the car and drove down to Willemstad to visit the Kato Cave. The Kato cabe got its name from the Kato plantation which is also how the airport got its name as it sits …
Dives 3&4
This morning was the beginning of diving with Karl. Karl comes down from Amsterdam to Curaçao for three months to take people diving. Karl does a good job and he wanted to work on my breathing and buoyancy. Yesterday they had me on a regular tank and Peter said it was a 45 minute dive …
Diving Curaçao
Today was my first day diving. It is an improvement over snorkeling but just slightly. There are more fish to see but that was about it. I did see part of a crab. Still no turtles, octopus or stingrays. It does take time to get set up for the dive, I have to fill out …
Short post with pictures
Howdy everyone, we had a relaxing day today. Spent some time this morning visiting Hofi Mango. Hofi Mango was a plantation that grew sugarcane to make rum and Mangos. Hofi Mango has the only sugar mill on the island, Curaçao isn’t good for growing sugarcane. Mangoes do grow well, they taste good too. They have …
