    I have a brand new one of these that has never been wet. Actually, it is still in its original packaging. I'm asking $150 or OBO if anyone is interested. Thanks, Rickg

    If you want to be able to have a drink stay at the Hulehule Airport Hotel. The entire island of Male is "dry" unless things have changed since May 08. They don't even allow you to bring alcohol into the country. Well, actually they do but you are supposed to declare it on arrival at which...

    Liveaboard Malaysia

    walter, M/V Celebes Explorer is the only LOB in that area that I am aware of. You might want to consider the MV Celebes Explorer that dives Sipadan Island and several other islands in the vicinity of Sipadan. The link below is to my trip report from when we were on board her in '07...

    Stimulus money to be used to remove abandoned fishing nets

    drbill, I think you have to watch the commercial before you can see the CNN report. I had to watch a 15-sec commercial about Eveready batteries in order to view the video clip.

    Help! Need to rid Ear of fluid, possible infection! Fast!

    I would do the same unless you have any other medical problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, prostrate problems, or others listed on the container. The original formulation is still OTC but you will have to actually speak with a pharmacist and sign for it in order to get it. Good luck.

    Okinawa - Bubbles Wetsuits?

    My first farmer john wetsuit that I bought in '85 had one of these and I always heard it referred to as a "beavertail". Seldom see this style in the US any more since they went to the step-thru farmer john tops but they are still quite common in Japan.
