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
Well readers I have gotten 29 open water dives for a little over 20 hours underwater. I also have two Discover Scuba dives as well. Karl was an excellent dive master. Peter and Jason also did well. I got 52 minutes out of a regular 12l. tank for my last dive using the 12 lbs …

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 …
Hofi Mango
Hello All: I have not done a post for the last couple of days because I haven’t had a whole lot to write about. We are having a perfectly fine vacation, but I can’t say this is one of our more exciting ones. The water here is beautiful and clear but there isn’t much to …
Curaçao
Yesterday we went to the capital city here and walked around a little and had lunch. It was very touristy. It is a port city for cruise ships and they seem to cater to that crowd. Restaurants were not as plentiful as I expected. They did have Subway, Pizza Hut and KFC. There are a …
Curacao from Emily – Day 2
Hello All! As you probably all saw from Bill’s post, we arrived in Curacao yesterday after a very long travel day. We were up by 2:45am and because of delays we didn’t have time to get either breakfast or lunch. We were starved and exhausted by the time we got to the hotel. We did …
