Bonaire – Day the 1st and Day the 2nd
By Aardvark | November 8, 2009
Saturday November 7, 2009 3:30 am. And so begins the trip. We had to be at the airport by 5am. We made it! Security at the HSV airport was crazy. I have never seen that many people in that airport at one time. We made our flight for final boarding and then ended up sitting in line for take off for about 30 mins. We made it to ATL just in time to book it to our connecting flight. Since we were a group of 30 coming from HSV…they were waiting. The flight was about 3.5 hours and not bad at all.
We got into Bonaire and got settled with our luggage, rental truck and resort. We unpacked and went to the dive briefing. We didn’t dive last night for a couple of reasons. We had not eaten and wanted to eat …and then we had a couple of drinks. Drinking and diving is not a good idea 
Plus I have new gear and we wanted to try it out on an easy dive the first time. So since we weren’t going to do the night dive…we decided to have a few more drinks
The bartender is great. I am a big believer in befriending the bartender and making sure he knows you are a good tipper!
This morning we grabbed a late breakfast (10am here) and then hit the water. We had some technical issues when we first got in put we got it all worked out and did our dive. I have to adjust to the new gear but it was still awesome! We saw some huge Tarpin and of course all the typical “finding Nemo” kind of fish. No sharks or turtles or eel…YET! Now we are hanging out in the room for our surface interval for a bit. Steve is working on his camera settings and then we are going to go out and take some pictures.
There are iguanas EVERYWHERE. They walk right up to your table while you are eating and come right up to the door of your bungalow. We have also seen a bunch of hermit crabs just wandering around all over the place. I saw one last night that was the size of a softball.
We are going to make another dive this afternoon and then again after dinner. I am happy as a clam with doing 3 dives a day… I think Steve is going to try and catch up with some of the other divers here so that he can log a few more than that everyday. I will try and get some pictures up soon!

Let the humiliation begin…
By Aardvark | October 23, 2009
As promised…I am ready to make an ass out of myself. (Ummm because that will be something new)
I know there are people who put in $20 and did not send in an idea. So I am going to give you the weekend to think of something! Leave your ideas in the comment section for all to see! On Monday I will have my friend Maria choose the winning humiliating task! To the best of my knowledge Maria was the highest individual contributor. (hush Steve…you don’t get to pick!) If you sent me an idea and it isn’t on the list…leave me a message. I am not perfect
Here is what we have so far…
- my own version of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” video
- a video of me getting a tattoo
- Wear something outrageous while doing random menial tasks and errands of the day (video recorded of course)
- walk around a public venue with my skirt tucked into my undies and for every person who tells me about it…I will donate and additional dollar to the March of Dimes
- wear a blond wig for a day (dude…i could totally borrow one from my grandmother!)
Come on….get those creative juices flowing!
