It was a pleasure having you here. Hope to see the two of you again soon. Hope my ugly mug didn't kill your camera!  I think it will survive. Left at 6am was on airport property by 0630. Waiting on the flight now. |

Wish I was there, instead of this rainy mess in east Texas. Then we are having a cold front come in this evening, bringing freezing rain and sleet. I would love those nice 80's temps.

Still can't upload pics. Can't even process them. She is still doing the online scuba class. Supposed to have had it finished before we arrived. Here we are day 2 on the island and she's still taking it. Keeps finding other stuff to do. Sorry yall. This is starting to turn into a damn safe thread or something.

Alright another trip pic thread! (Nice pics of the bird! The parrot's not bad either.)
I loved the pics from the last one. Sorry to hear it didn't work out with Aziel? The new woman looks to be a nice upgrade! Have fun! |

Oh well. It is what it is. 420pm here now and she's still going on it. She is hitting it hard. Haven't seen her move since she sat down haha. Guess she finally figured out that it's important to get that done since it directly affects everything else we are trying to do here. Maybe tomorrow for pics yall. |

She is almost done. I sneak on it here and there during bathroom breaks and such to Lightroom a few as I can. The next update will be pretty huge. |

As an aside, SWMBO and I just got back from the eye doctor. We had been worried that I may have glaucoma to go with my cataracts, but not only do I not have glaucoma, she says I only have cataracts in my bad eye. My eyes are indeed getting worse, but it's only age-related presbyopia.
Yay, me! Zack: hope you're able to get the dives in, but at least you have decent scenery without having to leave the room!

Sorry for the delays everyone. Been a busy few days.
As promised, here are the pictures from the day we went to ocean park!  DSC_8097 by Zack3g, on Flickr
This is one way to get chicks to live with you:  DSC_8098 by Zack3g, on Flickr

So there we were sitting in the audience when they asked for volunteers.
I was a bit surprised to see when they selected my lovely companion to join them for the show!  DSC_8204 by Zack3g, on Flickr

In the interest of politeness, introductions must first be made:  DSC_8227 by Zack3g, on Flickr
This fucker was taunting me 
 DSC_8231 by Zack3g, on Flickr
Something funny was apparently said  DSC_8233 by Zack3g, on Flickr
A cool trick:  DSC_8243 by Zack3g, on Flickr
Then the trainer asked the sea lion if he thought she was pretty:  DSC_8249 by Zack3g, on Flickr
I'm starting to get a bit edgy at this point. The trainer then suggested that if he thinks she's so pretty, perhaps he should give her a kiss.  DSC_8251 by Zack3g, on Flickr
The sonofabitch did it 
 DSC_8262 by Zack3g, on Flickr
And then laughed about it! Apparently, she thought it was funny too though
 DSC_8263 by Zack3g, on Flickr
 DSC_8267 by Zack3g, on Flickr
Another little pose or whatever:  DSC_8278 by Zack3g, on Flickr
 DSC_8282 by Zack3g, on Flickr
...motherfucking motherfucker  DSC_8286 by Zack3g, on Flickr
She apparently didn't have a problem getting all smoochy with a sea lion.  DSC_8327 by Zack3g, on Flickr
Thus ends the story about the sea lions. More to come, stand by. |

This is called a garden eel
 DSC_8540 by Zack3g, on Flickr
You might recall me posting pictures of these out in the real world in my last dive trip thread. I figure they're called that because they grow like plants.  DSC_8542 by Zack3g, on Flickr
Not sure:  DSC_8552 by Zack3g, on Flickr
Apparently this thing is an endangered species:  DSC_8590 by Zack3g, on Flickr
Shitty pic of white tip reef shark  DSC_8591 by Zack3g, on Flickr
More puffer fish:  DSC_8621 by Zack3g, on Flickr

Slightly bigger one:  DSC_8712 by Zack3g, on Flickr
 DSC_8713 by Zack3g, on Flickr
See? Happy!  DSC_8718 by Zack3g, on Flickr
This one looks a bit serious though:  DSC_8726 by Zack3g, on Flickr
We could name him grumpy ray.  DSC_8736 by Zack3g, on Flickr

Decided to try something different with the jellyfish wall  DSC_8796 by Zack3g, on Flickr
