BVI SCUBA diving

My friend Janice passed on these photos wanting to know if we thought they were real, and yep, I believe they are! I think it is a great picture. We saw quite a few in schools in the Galapagos, schools of hundreds, although where we saw them the water was so murky you could not really make them out too well.

"Gliding silently beneath the waves they turned vast areas of blue water to
gold off the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula . Sandra Critelli, an amateur
photographer, stumbled across the phenomenon while looking for whale sharks."

Well I have been sitting in Seattles Sea Tac airport for most of the afternoon. They have no Admirals Club with AA here, and although the flight is operated by Alaskan Airlines, Alaskan says they have asked American many times to exchange Club privileges but they have always turned them down flat. Alaskans Club Lounge is WWWAAAAYYYYY better then Americans Admirals Club! They have self serve soda machines, espressos, cheese and crackers, soups, cookies and up to 3 complimentary drinks per person. Admirals Club gives you coffee, water and pretzels. Anything else is way over priced and bad. What a surprise! Just like their airplanes.
Funny thing checking in our baggage we were a couple pounds over the 50 lb limit and they let it go as opposed to making us paying a lot of money or do gyrations trying to even out the bags somehow. We had a record today, only 2 checked bags, although I have to admit that we stopped at the USPS to mail down a couple parcels!
We saw the parental unit off, or I should say they saw us off...and they are on their way to see Willy Nelson at the Marymoor field tonight. I told them to make sure they bring their umbrellas! Bazza really whined when I made him leave his winter jacket with my parents today. We DON'T need it in the BVI!
We have spent the last two nights sleeping on the hardest beds possible! Where do some of these hotels find these beds? Even boards aren't that hard! Last night I think it was also the smallest double bed I have ever seen. I thought that Bazza should sleep on the floor at the end, to give this large girl room to actually sleep on the bed, but he was having none of that! At least a few months of charters will wear of some of this weight (Ha! Like it ever has yet. When I started doing charters I weighed about 55 lbs less then now. That is 10-11 years ago. An average gain of 5 lbs a year. At this rate, I won't fit on the boat in another ten years!)
