I was looking for little stuff too. Didn't see nuthin.

Yep, the one you didn't trust until I vouched for him. I take back my
vouch. As I told Cat, I wasn't about to complain about any staff while I
was staying there no matter how bad they were ripping me off. It wouldn't
be any fun to run into someone in town who just got fired as a result.

We didn't have satellite TV, which makes the room worth all that much more.
If I want satellite TV, I can go to Belize and stay for free.

The only thing I know of Cocoview is its popularity and that's sort of a
turn-off.

Weak stomachs. I never get sick off anything except Shula's oysters.

Any germs I had in Roatan, I got in Roatan. I could just as easily blame
you for talking me into going there.

But I did have satellite TV. And free rum.

Just because I'm picky some of the time doesn't mean I'm picky all of the
time. Roughing it can be fun too. Maybe I'll try a Blackbeard's next.

I really enjoyed the friendly moray. After diving with mean Hawaiian eels,
it's nice to see that they're not all so vicious.

Throwing beer bottles at the cops probaby isn't the best way to reason with
them.

Yes I did.

Sort of bored me. Once you've seen one whale shark, you've seen 'em all.

OK, I can believe that. They had a very clean restroom.

Please do.

Not first class, just special: "OnePass Elite Members Economy Class Free
Baggage Acceptance - 2 Checked Bags: Maximum 70 lbs (32kg) and 62 linear
inches (157 cm) (total length + width + height) per piece." I don't know
about first-class until 3 days ahead of time, but I usually don't have a
problem getting upgraded on the ONT-IAH legs and hence could probably bring
a third 70-lb bag for free. Maybe I will.

Late February is time to make a short trip to Cozumel, not Belize. Carnival
with Reef Fish. Everyone who's anyone around here is going.

The diving world can be rather small at times. Sometimes that's a good
thing. Other times . . .
