We'll be there 4/16-4/23, diving with and staying at Blue Angel. Stop me and say hi if you see me - you can't miss me, I'm a 6'4" white guy with dreadlocks down to my ass. We can normally be found in the afternoons on and around the square with margaritas at Wet Wendy's or buckets of beer and...

Just got back yesterday and found a couple of new favorites. Los Tres Gatitos Wet Wendy's (watch out for the margaritas - they make you talk funny) Empanadas del Sur (I think that's the name. it's just north of the square on the same street as 7-11). They delivered to Wet Wendy's one...

Hopefully at least one of the t-shirt shops is still open! I'm packing light and just buying a few shirts to wear when I get there. The only snag is that my wife told me that I am absolutely forbidden to bring any more t-shirts back. Is there a charity there that wouldn't mind getting a few...

Same thing that we ended up having to do. With the exception of canceling our flights in the first place, Continental was helpful in our case as well. I did find that their online reservation process leaves something to be desired; flights that had been canceled were still showing up as...

That itinerary is actually what my original one was. I've been on the phone with these people four times so far because that flight keeps popping up as available. Each time they tell me that the website information just hasn't been updated and that the 12:20 flight has been canceled. Even...

I agree. The guy that called said that they might be adding back more flights as things clear up, but that he can't guarantee anything. There aren't many industries where the consumer can buy and pay for something, then have the provider call and say "we've changed our mind, you can't have...

Thanks Don - just did the search and they don't show up. The only flights that are showing up are flying through Detroit, etc., and then back to Houston, then CZM, arriving the next day. This sucks. Edit: just realized that your post was thru Cancun. That flight's booked now, too...

I don't remember what the actual wording that he used was, but the upshot is that we no longer have a flight and all the other flights direct to Coz are extremely oversold so we couldn't get on any of those, either. Our best shot is going to be flying in and out of Cancun. Not optimal, but if...

Too little, too late for me, though. Continental just called and they have cancelled our flights to/from Coz 5/16-5/23. They *might* have flights to/from Cancun 5/17-5/25. Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. David

Slightly disturbing yet oddly brilliant. Dig it...

Vista del Mar and Blue XT~Sea 5/31-6/7. And buckets of beer.

Beautiful pics...the first one in the original post is my favorite. Magazine quality, IMO. Keep up the good work... David

Three t-shirts and two pairs of board shorts. One of the t-shirts is the dedicated boat/dive shirt. I do a quick wash/rinse of the day's shirt/shorts ensemble each night, letting it dry while wearing the other one the next day. One of the keys is being willing to go commando for a week...

I'm reasonably sure that I've never heard this cause before... I haven't flooded my PT030 yet, but I still keep an eye out for a cheap used Oly SP350, cuz I know it'll happen sooner or later. David

Excellent news! Congratulations! See you in a couple of months to congratulate you in person... David

Great report. Missing out on Casa Denis' cream of avocado soup is a major foul, however. You should've camped out on the doorstep until the cheese showed up. Of course, the punishment for said foul is another trip to Coz to get it right. Glad you enjoyed your trip. diverrex - we'll be...

Wow. Just...wow. I'd be fairly disinclined to return to Maui on vacation if this thing is passed. I'd be happy to send something to The Powers That Be - does anyone have a simple boilerplate or a sample of what they sent that I can re-swizzle and send? Right now all I can think of is along...

Two out of three of the dive ops that I've used in Maui have harrassed critters (pulled octopus out and played with them, broken legs off of brittle stars by trying to pull them out, etc.). I don't know if this is a Hawaii thing or not, I hadn't really thought about it until now. None of the...

Nope, they don't. No problem at all. Hmmm...Next warm-water dive, I may have to go shirtless - maybe that would be a good place to mount another D ring. :D David

Glad you had a good time. It's a great experience. Al - the current one is (or at least was a the end of November) a fairly recent occupant and only(?) about six and a half feet. If I remember correctly. David
