QUICK UPDATE

LEFT MY LITTLE ISLAND PARADISE BEHIND... BUT HAD THE BEST LAST DIVE. WE HAD A STAFF DIVE AND WENT OUT TO THE TIP OF THE ISLAND AND GOT DROPPED OFF OVER THE REEF WALL AND WENT DOWN TO ABOUT 150 ft, WE WERE SWIMMING ALONG THE WALL AND ALL OF A SUDDEN BARRY(THE SHOP OWNER) AND I BOTH LOOK DOWN AND SEE A SCALLOPED HAMMERHEAD SWIMMING ABOUT 30ft BELOW US. IT WAS AMAZING, IT IS A REALLY REALLY RARE THING TO SEE THERE. WE WERE THE ONLY 2 THAT SAW IT AND I WILL NEVER FORGET IT. ABOUT 30 MIN. AFTER WE GET BACK, EVERYONE IN WEST END KNOWS ABOUT IT OF COURSE HATE US, AND THE NEXT MORNING THERE WERE 5 BOATS IN THE SAME SPOT.
SPENT MY LAST DAY WITH JESSI, WE WENT ON A MARATHON SNORKEL TRIP THAT LASTED OVER 2 HOURS BUT WAS REALLY NICE. SAID MY GOODBYE'S FEELING PRETTY GOOD AND AS SOON AS I GOT IN THE TAXI TO GO TO THE AIRPORT, I STARTED CRYING AND DIDN'T STOP UNTIL HALFWAY TO HOUSTON. I THINK I WAS GOING THROUGH SOME KIND OF CULTURE SHOCK BEING BACK IN THE STATES. HAD A 3 HOUR LAYOVER IN TEXAS AND WENT TO THE FOOD COURT AND JUST WALKED AROUND AND LOOKED AT ALL THE FOOD. KIND OF FELT LIKE I DON'T REALLY FIT IN HERE... BUT I'M SURE I WILL ADJUST QUICKLY. I'M IN SEATTLE, CATCHING A SHUTTLE TO WHIDBEY ISLAND IN A FEW MINUTES.
