We ain't holding back much (certainly NOT the VISA expenses... Whew!!!) Alex got a sunburn in our first week of the trip in Costa rica. She has since lost that bathing suit and bought a new one. The second one has a different strap design which makes the sunburn a very visible contrast, and remarkably it still stands out, two months later! No sharks yet, but Alex has gotten stung twice by jellyfish... We're inland a little ways now, and heading back to the coast right away for a last few days of surfing before we fly out of Brisbane in a week! (Agh!!!) Nope!

That's awesome. I agree totally with how great scuba diving is. When the 2 of us were in Dominican Republic in 97 I had a brief 1 hour session in our resort pool followed by a 45 minute dive the following day. I think I went 30 or 40 feet and was told to bring a banana to feed the fish. Forget that, I stuffed about 5 in my suit. It was fantastic, but wouldn't want to dive in Canada after being spoiled in the Carribean. Any cases of sunburn or heat stroke? What about sharks?
