January anyone?

[tomhooper]

Would love to see a trip report on the newly updated Fiesta Americana!!!

While I haven't been inside, my apartment is about quarter mile south of the this. The outside and beach area look great.
I was there in November.

We are on the Saturday morning United flight from Houston to CZM (arriving at 11:15am). We will be flying into Houston tomorrow evening and staying overnight at the Marriott near the airport.

I'm on the same flight! I'll be the guy dragging a regulator bag, video camera bag...I might need to combine them into one for carry on.

We are lugging a LOT of stuff too. Look for us as you board and say hello. We will be in row 2 A & B.

The temporary population of the island is going up today! Safe travels to all of you who are arriving today. Hope you are getting all settled in (dropping off the dive gear, walking to Mega/Chedraui, deciding where to go for first night's dinner, etc.)

I'm very excited that I'M the next one who will turn blue!

Great first day for me - afternoon dive and then a Scubaboard meet-up at Del Sur. I got to meet MMM and lionfish-eater. We brought in an assortment of friends and people from the boat ("boat people") for a group of eight, I think. Lots of crossed paths and small world connections (and empanadas). So great to put faces to names!

 

[dfrancos]

3 of us from 19 to 23 Jan, diving with aquatic sports, casa del mar.
