The Wedding...is about to start...

shmokes:
I'd come in a heartbeat if I could drive there in under five hours.  As it is, Tommy's just about the only member who's close enough that I could attend a wedding and I just don't think I'm likely to get an invite to his wedding.

So THAT's why he deleted his account.... ;D

Seriously MrC..sounds like a good party.  Hope to see the pictures, sort of  ;)

mr.Curmudgeon:
:woot Honeymoon is booked! 

This May, we'll be spending 12 days on the island of Dominica (in Caribbean string of the lesser Antilles islands). It's the least touristy, most beautiful thing we could find.
Turns out it has been rated as THE best scuba diving area in the Caribbean, so we plan on being wet most of the time.   :duckhunt

I can't tell you how excited I am, since I've never taking a vacation like this before. I've never seen the blue, blue water of a tropical island. I fear I may never want to come back home.



Facts:

- Portions of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3 were filmed there.
- Boiling Lake, in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, is one of the world's largest thermal lakes.
- Today, three thousand Carib Indians live in the tropical forest of Dominica. The last known group
   of original "Carib" people (for which the Caribbean is named)
- It is most covered in rain forests, and features the most rugged landscapes in the Caribbean, with the highest elevation being 4747 feet.
- It has the second-highest longevity rating in the western hemisphere (second only to Canada)
- It has the highest percentage of living centenarians in the world, at 3X the average of developed nations.


We plan on doing a lot of hiking and swimming and just plan ole' chillin'. One of the coolest (albeit, freakiest) things we are hoping to do is dive off the coast in an area where the locals can "call" a pod of whales that will come and swim with you. We're not sure if they do this in any particular season, so we'll see. Here's some pics of other people diving with the whales...



CCM:
Yea, have fun with that... wait until about the 1:06 mark of the video...

mr.Curmudgeon:
Yeah. That was a Pilot whale, (which is like an Orca). I'm hoping the Sperm Whales, aren't as "aggressively playful".
Plus they've got smaller mouths.  :)
