got your rambling answer phone message....well, all except the last bit as it ran out! Sam continues to be impressed by your photos and is always asking to see the latest ones.
All well over here... grandma OK, although continues to complain that she doens't see the boys enough.....once a week on average, in case you wondered!
Otherwise, the boys doing well. Sam's a star reader and Owen's getting awards for his swimming, so none too shabby!
Anyway, keep in touch and keep sending th photos.

Hey Alec...Love your blog and your photos. The diving looks awesome! My Hubby and I are in Sedona Arizona..we've been touring and hiking Zion, Bryce Canyon, The north and South rim of the Grand Canyon and now here. Have to go home on Friday to gray 43 degree rain after all this blue sky and sunshine... Cheers Sue

Hi Alec,
this is Lilo and David (back to work unfortinately !). Wish we were still in Sipadan enjoying some great dives, but oh well.... have you planned to have a look at Bunaken in Sulawesi ?
We hope to see you in Provence someday, to chekcout the local dives. Don't forget what I said : we DO have eagle rays here is the Port Cros marine reserve and you can dive more than 9 minutes with them, ah, ah ah ....
Enjoy the rest of your trip and take care!

Hi Couz,
Really enjoying your postings! Hope your travels stay away from both the Samoas, hit hard with tsunamis (3) from the earthquake.
Your pictures are terrific. I'm living vicariously through your blog postings - the only way with sharks, eels and the like around.::)))
Keep them coming! Best wishes from Canada!
Sue
PS Christine says Hi!!

D.O.D,
having read your latest blog...my conversation with grandma earlier suddenly makes sense! She kept on about the fact that you're diving off "one of those man made things with the fire coming out the top"....clearly an oil rig!!!
Still, it all sounds completely fab and I'm soooooo jealous. The best that can be said about good ol' Blightie at the mo. is the fact that the weather is glorious!!!! Warm n sunny, but with all the Autumnal colours starting to show.......not a patch on that beach in Tiomna mind you!
More photos please!!!

Hey Alec,
Really enjoying reading about your adventures.
Love your writing style, reminiiscent of Bill Bryson. However, I think your actualy more engaging as your obvious enthusiasm for it all comes shining through. Ever thought about earning some cash from it?
Looking forward to reading your next update.
Take care and have a great time!

Poor Alec, Someone is forcing you to drink beer all night? I know you must hate that :D !
I've joined Couchsurfing.org and you might find it useful to join as well. They have lots of groups devoted to diving, and subgroups based on locale. Here is one, and the group leader's intro:

Good luck - your dives sound fascinating - bring that camera next time!

"So, I'm presuming you did some research on the best way to blog. I've been looking for ways to update folks on my upcoming travels, so please let me know how this site works for uploading photos and quick connects at internet cafes. I'll have my camera and an ITouch (that's an upgraded IPod that has no phone or camera but has email and internet capabilities in wireless internet cafes)."
cut and pasted from earlier msg. Do you just log in at the internet cafe and compose as you go? Have you tried uploading any photos yet from where you are?
Been to Italy before, Alec?
