Runs with knives!
On Saturday morning, Drew & Wendy got up at 8:30am, had a continental breakfast of rolls & coffee at the pool bar, and headed over to the Hyatt to meet Kent & Julie Anne to drive into Old San Juan. They decided not to go,…
(All of Drew’s pictures from Doug & Kelly’s wedding are here. Check their site for more pictures!) After a hot day in Old San Juan, Drew & Wendy hustled back to the Costa de Oro to get ready for the wedding. We got to the…
In the morning, we packed up our belongings and checked out of Costa del Oro. When we went downstairs to the office, there was no one there to help us check out. Finally, we located the lady of the house out near the pool.

On Monday morning, we rose at 7:00am, checked in at the dive shop, and sat down on the patio for a waffle (Drew) and pancake (Wendy) breakfast. The plates came out with waffles/pancakes only. Nothing else. It was warm and decent for eating pre-dive. We…
Tuesday morning dawned bright and clear. Wendy & Drew were down at the patio for their standard breakfast — waffles & pancakes. This time, the meal included a piece of plain bread, unbuttered. We boarded the dive boat, delighted to discover that it was just…
Since we were packing for our upcoming trip to Las Vegas, tonight’s dinner was a hunker-down simple meal of Ravioli and a cheese quesadilla.
Tonight, we were on our way from Cincinnati Ohio to Columbus Ohio to Chicago Illinois and on to our final destination of Las Vegas Nevada. Dinner was on the fly in the airport between flights… Just a cheese pizza from one of the nameless, faceless food-stall…
