Hey Linda...I know it's been an eternity, many apologies! Have been catching up on some of your piccies/write-ups and it sounds great - am sure you're having a wonderful time. Well done on your diving certificate, appreciate how tough this must have been for you from your past descriptions of your diving fears!
Love

That sounds like an ideal place to visit or even live. It obviously has old fashioned beliefs which is what keeps it safe.
Your diving also sounded very interesting, coral is so wonderful and I feel angry when I hear of people who are ruining it.
So your next leg starts, good luck and as usual, enjoy xx
Mum
Good luck on the next leg. Panama sound wonderful. All this walking around you do I shouldn't think you need to start to exercise as you are doing it, right??!! Enjoy xx
Mum
Congratulations on your diving achievement, your dives sound fantastic.
I would have hated to have crossed that bridge to Panama, you were very brave, they would have had to leave me behind!!!
Enjoy the rest of the time there. xx
Jeanette
Linda, congratulations on being an AOW diver. I am so pleased to hear how much you are enjoying diving and how confident you are becoming about it. Night dives certainly are amazing and add another dimension to it. Looking forward to the day we can go on a dive together. Enjoy Panama and sending loads of warm fuzzies for you.
Mum
Anniversary congratulations!! You know a flip flop is the perfect weapon for cockroaches, works like a charm. When I lived in the Philippines we had hundreds of them, no kidding, and I became quite an expert with the flip flop. This part of the trip sounds very interesting especially the toilet things! Enjoy, lots of love xx
Mum
Strange about the boobies, as the day after I was reading your blog one of our local magazines was advertising cameras and guess what was on the front, a boobie bird with bright blue feet!! Also a couple of days after that and again for cameras, a pic of the Galalagos Islands. Of course I had to tell every one " My daughter is there right now!!" They were all suitably impressed. The latest diving sounds fantastic. xx
Jeanette
Wow your travels have sounded amazing. The Caymens sounded idyllic! Can't believe you had an Greg's girlfreinf buying underwear for you. They are somewhere I have dreamed of going for a holiday as was Playa Carmen, so oneday I will get there..... Hope you enjoy the next leg of your trip. xx
Auntie Diane
I have just finished reading about the Galapagos it was one of the most stunning accounts you have given. I could picture you swimming with the turtles, it sounds as if it has been one of your best experiences. The photos are truly magnificent. Just keep this up, looking forward to the next one.
Take care lots of love Auntie Dianexxx
Mum
Hope one of the 2 is me!! I have always had a passion for turtles and I am very jealous that you swam with them. They are so gentle and unassuming.
I have never, ever heard you talk so passionately about anything as those islands, maybe you should live there, they bring out the best in you!! XX
Mum
You can always send stuff to me and I will forward it to you as when if you want to. Don't regret not buying for the rest of the trip (or life for that matter).
I love all that sort of stuf and it is a good talking point when people visit. I know you can buy it in the shops but it isn't quite to same as buying from the hand that made it, so to speak.
