All I've been thinking about for the past couple days is when I can go diving again. So as soon as the weather started to get better I went back down to the Sunrise Diveshop, where they know me all too well, and booked an overnight trip to the Phi Phi Islands where I will take the Advanced Open Water Course. We will go on seven dives including a night dive, a deep dive, and hopefully try out some photography if I'm lucky! I can't wait!
Anyways, let me tell you about the gold mine I have recently stumbled across. So the past two days have been absolutely gorgeous 'get your tan on' days, so I was on my way to the beach when I decided to wander into a really fancy high class resort, just for a quick gander... Well, I come across this beautiful pool that goes on forever with an enourmous buddha-head statue overtop of a really neat floating bar.
So I take a seat on one of the lounge chairs (the kind that would have cost me 100b at the beach btw) for a quick minute... nobody approaches me... so I reach into my bag and pull out my tiny camping towel and lay it out among the rows of bright orange, plush resort towels... still, nobody says anything so that is where I have spent the entire last two days. My theory is that if I spend enough time there the staff will assume I am a guest, and I think it is working..
And that is how I have spent the past two days and they have been just divine..
I plan to do the same tomorrow.
Hope you are all enjoying the snow and looking forward to the holidays!
I will be sure to let you know how the diving goes :)

Lola has decided to not trudge through the snow, waist high for her,frezze her bum to do her buisness, and just go poolside. its looks lovely now that the snow has melted alittle..lol..she must be thinking of you "poolside" ...and for your pool story..well ..you are your fathers daughter!! ...stay safe that sun is HOT!
