Absolutely. My mom is a very weak swimmer and she snorkels for hours wearing a vest. Fit is very important, you don't want the vest riding up around your neck and face. While I am very comfortable in the water, I wear a belt when I have our son with me (he always has vest on) because I like the extra security if some thing goes wrong.

Congratulations on your upcoming Anniversary! Have you picked a place to stay?

Yes, Lime and Coconuts is a frozen drink.

Here is a link to the recipe. Haven't tried making it yet. Waiting for a nice hot day at home first. Bet it won't taste the same when I make it!

You will be surprised, I think it yeilds the same results. Of course, the atmosphere adds a lot to the drink.

Don't use too much ice, which is what I did the first couple of times I made these at home, the drink was too weak and the flavors didn't pop. Once I cut back on the ice, they were nearly perfect.
