Hi all,
its late, but I am getting it down finally. Getting to GT was easy and smooth. the T&C airport was everything i remembered it to be (not a compliment), but doable. We flew through both ways on a Friday so it was not bad...first time through was a Saturday and I think a riot would have been more calming. We flew InterCarribean from T&C to and from GT. No complaints going, on the way home they canceled our flight and merged it with the next one. No connections were missed because every flight that day was late. The only gripe was they didn't tell us this was canceled...and the "terminal" on GT had no AC.
A driver met us at GT and drove us straight to the Bohio where we were met with smiles and clear instructions for the moment, dinner and the rest of the week. The resort was very clean and well kept all week. Room was very nice, clean and well appointed. Our room was super quiet with a great view of the beach. The wifi was sketchy and I would rather it was broken - the less connected we can get the better the vaca. Were were informed that meals could take a while to make and plan accordingly - which was fine because the food was outrageous good! Probably the best island food we ever had. The bar was nice and the beer was cold. Be cautious of the rum punch - they are potent! I made that mistake once
, ok maybe twice...
Diving was on skiffs and they picked us up right on the beach each day. the tanks were well filled and the DMs were very relaxed and let us dive till we ran out of air. Lots of long dives! we dove with small groups and it was super fun. the diving itself was ok, not the best nor the worst. Just not a ton of macro or big stuff. It may be due to the time of year? But we loved it still and did 3 a day a few days of the week - so don't misunderstand that comment. The reef did look healthy and clean, no algae build up or trash or anything. the water was ~83 give or take one or two - WARM! dove in shorties the whole time. First dive was bout 9, back for lunch about 130 for lunch. SI was walking the beach. Great shelling there if you are into that. They have a few dogs that are all characters. Savage stole my heart. The don't make you sign for every last thing you eat and drink and that is very cool. the staff remembered us from day one so we just asked for what we wanted and kicked back. The staff were great, every last one.
The weather was outrageously great! It rained a couple times in the middle of the night - otherwise, bluebird or at worst white puffy clouds. Could not have been better. Nice breeze most days.
Overall - a very VERY relaxing and moderately off the grid trip. we have hectic jobs so this was exactly what we needed. slow and casual. We didn't wear shoes or flops except when we went to town. I will tell you I have not turned of reality like that in a while and wish we could do that everywhere we dive!
Bohio- Tom, Ginny; WELL DONE my friends!!! Thank you for a much needed step out of the working world.
