Thanks ladies! You'll never know how much your words mean to me. They say every positive word written about a person or business on the internet, is worth thousands of dollars that you would pay in magazine advertising.
So seriously from the bottom of my heart I really appreciate what you write. It means a lot to me that you trust me, and call me Mom. Who can you trust more then your Mom in this world, right?
And a vampy one too!

Hi Steffi:
Thanks for writing. The reason I don't offer too many 3 or 4 night trips, is because you usually lose one day on each end with travel.
But, we do have Wreckmania a wreck certifcation trip coming up in July that is 4 nights long. There are rooms left that are 'suites' but they will still price out well, if you have one or two people to share with.
Next year there will also be Wreckmania II which will be 4 nights, Photomania 3 nights, Wreckmania Continues 4 nights and Cavernmania 4 nights.
I hope one or all will work out for you. Where are you located?

Steffie:
Florida is a great place to dive. And easy to get to from where you are. It's better not to lose too much travel time with travel, and have more time to dive, don't you think? Especially when you're only taking about a 4 night trip.
To Ladydiver:
Thank you for restoring this thread.

Hi Natasha!
I would love to go on that Curacao trip. The splitting between the two ends of the island makes it perfect for both boat and shore diving time. I will tell ODDiver about it tonight and check out the dates. Keep us posted. When will sign up for the early March trip begin.
Thanks,
Laine

Yes, we have now decided 100% to do the Curacao trip and split up the resorts. I have 4 nights at Habitat and I'm just waiting on the final conformation for the 3 nights at either Lion's or the Marriott.
Check out my web site for updates please.

What is the price for the Curacao trip? Any chance that you will be able to get reduced air? The cheapest air I could find from Orlando was over $600.00 changing planes in Miami.

I now have all the details and prices worked out for the Curacao trip. I will ask Lady Diver when I can post them here. Until then, they are on my web site.
We can look at air prices in the fall for the winter.
