Re: mack & papabou #5 (or $6?)

Wahooo.... glad you had a good day of snorkeling.
From the sounds of it, your best yet this week! I was worried it would take a while for that sand to settle out after the strong waves you've had earlier in the week.

Thanks for the reports!

Re: Another snorkeler died in waters off of St. John

A great thread to bump to the top given the conditions of the sea down there lately! I know we will be taking extra precaution on our upcoming trip!

Re: Astral Ridge/Calabash Boom Hill

I am not a big baby when it comes to nasty drives.... but... we drove it to visit friends in January who were there at the same time as us. I would agree that the views are stunning... however, after driving it just one time, I would not want to STAY up there. I would be afraid to do the drive after...

Re: abbrev reports

Loved the short version.... sorry about the longer ones not going through. You are quite funny!
Hopefully the winds will calm and water will settle out. We arrive Saturday and I'd like my 74 year old mother's first snorkel to be clear enough to see!

you know that point.....?

Hi All,
You know that point when you think you have all the time in the world to get things done before a trip and all the sudden you find yourself panicking to get everything in place? Do any of you ever have that happen?
I'm there!

Re: What does your forum name mean?

MNFUN2BME..... Minnesota Fun To Be Me............. Guess I'm just lucky!

I should actually be WIFUN2BME.... (because even after living in MN for 18 years now I grew up in Wisconsin and still claim it as my "homeland.") ---- the people from Wisconsin all understand that, right??
