This is no particular order...
* Weather - It was middle of October (hurricane season) but we were smiled upon by the weather gods. Sun for 7 of 8 days. And even the cloudy day was nice.
* Traveling - We rented a car. That is a must to see the island. You WILL GET LOST. I like to think of myself as a very good driver and maybe even a better navigator. We got so lost. The maps suck and the roads are not marked. What you think is the main road you are on just changed and you had no idea. This got quite annoying until you get a feel for the maps and roads. But you will still get lost. Just fess up to it and don't lose your head about it.
The flower cave up on the north shore was great. The views were incredible!
* Diving - We dove with John Moore. I was very dissapointed here. I heard nothing but great things about this dive op. We went with him for the small atmosphere otherwise I could have saved some money going with another dive op. But we ended up going out on another dive op's boat with John as the dive master. Diving with 8-10 more people. Amazing how small the ocean gets with that many people, isn't it?
We were forced to abort a couple of dives. My better half/dive buddy just wasn't feeling well. But since we booked x number of dives, that is what we are paying. We didn't even dive half the amount we paid for. I understand why he still had to charge us but he also said he wouldn't have had any work for the day since we canceled. This was a lie because he was the dive master for another dive op. A little double dipping here. You're gonna charge me? Okay. Don't insult my intelligence though.
We booked twelve dives (6 for me/6 for her). We dove 3 total. Paid for twelve. Thanks for the break there John.
* Food - Mainly ate all over the St. Lawarence Gap. A lot of nice places there.
Note: I took a while to write this because I was pretty pissed about the diving. I don't want to get into a bashing here. Just stating my acutal happenings.
